  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

I associate my time in Las Vegas mostly with elderly people with oxygen tanks, chain smoking while they put coin after coin in the slot machine. Just sad.

Vegas is a good place to go if your idea of a good time is eating and hanging around the pool. Other than that, it's a glittering shithole in the desert built on the losses of prior visitors.

Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire State Park are both cool stops that aren't too far away. I've never been to the Pinball Museum so I'll have to check that one out next time.

The Grand Canyon is only like 2 hours away as well. Don't listen to the other commenter Las Vegas (and surrounding area) is a blast.

But I do actually think hanging around a pool, eating sounds like a good time.

Now you just hook your debit card to the machine and you don't even have to put a coin in!

And they took the pull handles away because they can siphon money out of retirement accounts much faster if the ~~victim~~ player only needs to press a button.

That's sad. Pulling the lever was such fantastic part of the experience. Now we can't call them "One Arm Bandits."

We use to live in a society.
