I find it interesting compared to the USA.

The USA has migration from richer parts of the country to select poorer parts because the lower cost of living makes up for the lower wages. There are also states that built themselves in part on the back of being a low cost of living place to retire.

Why isn’t Europe there yet?

How did they gimp it?

I’d just let it go. Why put so much effort into a group that doesn’t want your participation?

Lemmy is filled with political content. Voyager is probably just showing what is most popular if you are viewing all, which is going to show a lot of political content.

The best options is to curate a subscribed list or block political subs you don’t want to see.

This is the best you can do.

Amazon has been trying to make sure it can be on all streaming devices as it provides the back end to a lot of other pay streaming channels. FreeVee was probably their Trojan horse to get people Amazon accounts and a service that low end streaming devices would need to serve.

We get that it is the design philosophy for Mastodon to not have an algorithm serving content, but it appears to be a non-starter for a lot of users of Twitter like services.

In theory, a third party could write that algorithm and implement it in some form. Truth Social functions like that, but without federating to the rest of Mastodon.

More like Miami with less booze and weed.

In the long run, yes.

In the short term, no.

Theme parks is really only an Orlando thing. A large chunk of tourist Florida is hotels by the beach.

Any reason why in particular?

What kind of tourist traps?

Egypt is the kind of country where I want to see things in it, but I kind of want to get the sanitized experience if I go there.

I feel like you need to be in a certain mindset to enjoy a theme park like Disney World. If you aren’t in that mindset, the place is a saccharine place of over-stimulation.

It is a good comparison. There is a lot to see in both cities and they have good transit systems, but it can be really disorienting if you aren’t used to city life and the grime of cities is harder to hide.

I wasn’t a big fan of Bermuda, but I feel like it was more to do with what I like to do when traveling.

Food was expensive and kind of bland. There wasn’t that much to see or do other than relax by a body of water and drink.

I took a trip to Cleveland and Cedar Point for an extended weekend and found it to be alright.

Paris has been romanticized a lot in media, to the point where the Japanese embassy has to have staff on hand to handle the dispair of Japanese tourists visiting and getting disappointed.

I remember Paris being a pleasant large Western city, but it is still a large Western city with all that it entails.

No, they also have one in Vegas that is a replica.

The funnier thing was that they had the Statue of Liberty wear a Golden Knights Jersey when Vegas won the Stanley Cup.
