I went on a date with a guy in college and he talked about how big various anime girls tits were the entire time.

Based.

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 ๐Ÿ™ƒ).

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.

What character from a movie/show/game/anything did you think you were going to hate, but ended up liking? (lemmy.world)
 

For me it's Peggy from Mad Men. At first I thought she was going to be an annoyance but half way through the first season I've grown to absolutely love her!

TIL cows can suffer from fatal bloated stomachs. A way of treating it is by puncture and burning the released methane gas (to determine how much is remaining). (lemmy.world)

To the LGBT and particularly trans people, how are you holding up these days? (lemmy.world)

Like what with all the fascism going on, Trump teasing a third term, and even now passing a law to be able to deport U.S. Citizens. I can't imagine people taking these threats lightly. So basically, how are you holding up?

Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate? (lemmy.world)

I keep seeing posts mentioning this phenomenon more and more often.

For instance:

More and more men are being sucked into parts of the internet that circulate misogynist content, leaving their families to deal with the wreckage

'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher

Like, why? Why now? Why even? I really wish I had a time machine where I could go to the future and ask them what the general reasons were for this social development. But I feel like I'm looking for the specific thorn on a cactus that popped my balloon.

Now that Trump is getting real friendly with Putin where does that leave China? (lemmy.world)

I remember China more or less supporting Russia here and there, during the beginning of the Ukraine War. If this is wrong please correct me (this goes for everything) . So now Trump and Putin are basically allies. However as far as I know, Trump is still anti-China.

So, now what? Where in all this new found alliance leaves the US (and Russia) relationship with China? What is likely to happen, generally speaking? Will Russia cut ties with China? Will Trump get close with China now? I feel like Jinping and Trump are kind of squabbling over Putin's affection right now, and I don't know if that analogy is valid.
