    It’s the barrier to entry.

    Spinning up your own social media platform is pretty easy in the grand scheme of things, but populating that platform is challenging. Doubly so if you want the platform to have topics beyond how good Linux is.

    Furries have managed to carve out their own spaces on basically every platform and develped a subculture all on the outskirts of mainstream social media







  • Vegas used to be a pretty cheap destination for a vacation that saw a ton of profit from the sheer amount of people that funneled there.

    It used to be that you would sometimes get buffet and drinks comped if you spent enough time gambling, and that incentive would keep you in that casino continuing to gamble instead of going to a different place. The cost of a buffet meal and a couple highballs was a small price to pay to keep someone at the tables for another couple hours.

    Now(within the last 15 years), Vegas is leaning away from being the worldwide gambling destination and leaning more into fine dining and live shows. This has changed the entire economy there and everything is crazy expensive if you’re anywhere near the strip.

    This is all to say nothing about the drop in tourism in general because you might just get assaulted when you enter the country by some twat from ICE if your skin is darker than a hotel towel.
