Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

LAS VEGAS — The top tourism official in Las Vegas says the city hasn't priced out regular travelers, even as July visitor counts fell and casinos took in more from gamblers.

Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), said monthly figures can bounce around but argued the destination remains competitive at different price points.

"We're not happy with the downturn but the city's taking steps to address that," Hill told reporters Friday.

No shit, capitalism is out pricing tourism. What do you greedy fucks thought would happen when you create a funnel system for you?

It's not just that. Foreign tourists don't want to risk being detained at a US airport just so some ICE alphamale goon can meet his quota.

Anybody not white and goes to USA today should win a darwin award

They have, to my great surprise, even been harassing and detaining whites. I think there is typically a political slant to it, however. They can't have nonracist and/or nonfascist whites coming through.

Some don't have much of a choice. But yeah, for the volunteers, I agree.

There's always a choice to travel to another country, especially a fascist one.

Whites aren't necessarily excluded, either. Even white males.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

White privilege makes up for them becoming a victim. So not really perpetrated.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Uh, I'm not sure an ordeal like what this guy went through is something others are lining up for, privilege or no. He was detained by ICE for two months, so not quite sure where the white privilege came in...

There are no alpha humans. Those ICE goons are just angry, brutal racists let off their leashes.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Alpha: Not fully developed, prone the erratic behavior, not fit for the public to interact with...

Sounds accurate to me.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago

Ah, that kind of alpha! Nice one. Makes sense.
