I dunno, if this meme (all be it humorously) is accusing the Reddit user base of having a thoughtpolice that does insinuate quite a large sense of superiority which is just absolute pack mentality. Lemmy is almost exactly and fundamentally synonymous to Reddit, hence a lot of people moved over to Lemmy after the end of third party app support.

So the only real argument one could make in pointing out the positive difference between the two. Is that the users of Lemmy may have a bigger hatred towards capitalism or think user support is more important than habitual comforts.

Too bad it’s owned by Nestle.

Yeah… We’re waaaaaay better over here on Lemmy…

I can’t believe it was this comment how I found out.

For all I care, this is canon now.

Okay final draft: The truth is more complicated than that. Apparently the visitation rates are still the same. It’s the gaming revenue that’s down. Which you can see down here here. Which makes sense I suppose. So apparently people are still visiting Vegas they’re just not gambling as much any more (or people have just gotten more and more lucky over the years 🙃).

I am hijacking my own comment here. Apparently the occupancy of Las Vegas hasn’t really shifted at all since the 90s. What the guy in the video is saying is true enough but I think the video is still a little sensationalised.

This video explains it pretty well. The odds are also genuinely getting worse.

Don’t forget about local58

If I break my phone, will it kill her? Because I had a little accident just now…

Well I have never had a girlfriend before. And I would really like to have one. So, how about that?

No, I’m pretty racist and needed to read this. /s

I dunno, how do we know you didn’t just bought it from the store?

Yay!

They hated them because they told the truth.

Wise guy, eh? First I’d do it in 8 steps and then be done with it.

I’m sorry but this is way too complicated for what it is. I don’t care about logistics, this is a thing that should be able to be done in 8 steps instead of 18.

You know what Pac stands for? PAC. Program and Control. He’s Program and Control Man. The whole thing’s a metaphor. All he can do is consume. He’s pursued by demons that are probably just in his own head. And even if he does manage to escape by slipping out one side of the maze, what happens? He comes right back in the other side. People think it’s a happy game. It’s not a happy game. It’s a fucking nightmare world. And the worst thing is? It’s real and we live in it.
