I’d like to go to Vegas sometime. I don’t gamble but would like to see the place that gave birth to the snowclone “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. I think there’s a good chance it’ll disappear/collapse soon due to climate change, and I want to see the “before” of a monument to man’s hubris that spits in the face of water usage.

    Top of Mount Denali. If I’m ever strong and technically skilled enough to do it which I doubt my life path and associated finances would allow.

    I have a hard time being satisfied with what I have - so I will likely move quite a bit in the future although I’ve promised my partner to try my best to set down roots where we are now.

    • Chicago to see architecture
    • San Francisco just to spend a day chilling and watching the fog from somewhere quiet
    • pacific northwest for rain; I lived in england for part of my childhood and i miss the consistent rain a bit
    • somewhere with mountains covered in snow, probably colorado?
    • upstate New York in the fall, to see the trees and smell the apple orchards

    The Pacific Northwest and the rural California coast. The pics look stunning and I’d love to see it in person

    Before the current chaos, I wanted to show my wife more of where I grew up and maybe run into some old friends. There are also some national parks and museums I never got around to visiting that I would’ve like to. Now, I have zero plans to travel back unless someone in my family that still lives there is dying.

      Not really sure. Maybe there’s a lot of Vegas haters on Lemmy? It was kind an off-the-cuff pick to start the conversation more than some deeply-held desire of mine to visit.

      I did notice there was one user downvoting every comment in the thread so far and they got banned. I also discovered piefed’s private voting feature, which is interesting: https://piefed.social/post/205362

        Tbh I do the opposite and upvote most comments and posts here, to try to make it a more welcoming place. But I can barely fathom someone trying to do the opposite - to accomplish what, making it a less welcoming place for people to communicate, in this community of a social media platform?!

      People seriously dislike the US right now. And I get it, but I’ve always voted against this shit and advocated among my community for leftist ideals.

      I blame the fascists, and not because there is nobody else to blame.

      I blame the fascists because we need all the allies I can get to make this country worth visiting again.

          Bev’s Seafood, crawfish, get a pound more than you think you want. Quite possibly the best meal I’ve had in my life. I still think about it 8 years later.

          Also get a Bloody Mary while you’re down there (not at Bev’s, just, like, in NOLA), just make sure they put the pickled green beans in em. So fucking good.

          Edit: I can’t speak to Ireland, but gotta do a proper Chicago dog dragged through the garden on a poppy seed bun. Though I can’t recommend a specific joint for it.
