The US having an entire city in the middle of the desert dedicated entirely to gambling sounds like a thing other countries would make up about the US as a joke but its real and no one bats an eye at it
They also do divorce
You know I held myself back from going off on an infodump about the history of divorce in Las Vegas for the sake of this joke but the amount of people reblogging this version from me and not getting my history based joke about how divorce was important in shaping the economy is Las Vegas is driving me a little bit crazy
The people want an explanation so an explanation I shall give.
Basically Nevada used to be like. Nowhere. Even more nowhere than it is now. They broke several rules when they made it a state actually because the population wasn’t big enough to justify it but they wanted Lincoln to get more electoral college votes or something. I dunno.
Point is, there’s not much in Nevada. Sure, there’s silver mines. There’s local tribes who are pretty cool. There’s wildlife. There’s some neat mountains. Not much water though and water is needed for most industries and large scale civilization.
This vast emptiness ended up making Nevada what it is today though mostly because of crime. It’s hard for the feds to stop your crime when you’re surrounded by a whole lot of nothing. Is the state and federal government gonna trek through the Nevada desert to scold you? I don’t think so.
Local governments today in Nevada can often trace themselves directly back to criminal organizations and corrupt groups of politicians, including the city of Las Vegas and the very large unincorporated community of Paradise which is actually where the Las Vegas strip is. Why is Paradise, Nevada still an unincorporated community despite having over 180,000 residents? Because if there’s no city government that’s one less government entity your casino has to pay taxes to. Duh.
And these crime people and casino owners and easily bribable politicians despite their many problems did figure something out. Tourists like doing things that are illegal in other places. Californian tourists in particular. And one of the illegal things that all Americans really but especially Californians wanted to do was get divorced.
Around 1930 Nevada became one of the first states to make no-fault divorce legal. Not only that but the required waiting period became six weeks. Not only that but only one spouse had to live in Nevada for those six weeks. To this day, the waiting period for divorce in California is still six months. This was huge.
This becomes a whole industry. Not only is gambling legal in Nevada but now divorce is too. When a couple decide mutually that they want a divorce but there’s no legal reason for it where they live, one of them, usually the woman, goes to live in a resort in Las Vegas or Reno for six weeks (often called a divorce ranch) and then they can get divorced.
And while one or both spouses are there, they can gamble, get pampered, see entertainment, meet other people. Then they go home after their divorce and tell their friends all about it. Now all their friends know that there’s gambling and entertainment in Vegas. And now they know about the divorce ranches. More money in the Nevadan economy.
Las Vegas is a bright shining tax evasion island in the middle of the desert built on entertainment, gambling, crime, and divorce. God bless Nevada and god bless no-fault divorce.

the transgender urge to curl up like a small fluffy animal against someone you love’s warm body and make little mewling and sighing and whining sounds as they pet you and praise you for having tried so hard to be human until you fall asleep
This just got a load of notes really fast. I hope you’re all doing ok today and that you will all soon have the opportunity to shed your humanity, even if just for a few moments, with someone you love who will understand and embrace you 🫂🩷 It’s tough out here but I promise that better days are ahead.

Where did Classic Tails being 4 and Classic Sonic being like 11 come from? I’ve never heard about it in any canon sources but I see people mention it like it’s fact. I always thought Classic Tails was 8 and Classic Sonic was 16 or 15 and the modern ages are kinda ambiguous since they’re ages are decanonized so I personally headcannon modern Tails as being like 12 or 13 and modern Sonic as probably in his early 20s.
So I know you had a little conversation with someone else about this but I thought I would throw in what I know/theories about why this is.
Long story short, Generations created a mindset in the fandom that Classic Sonic is actually younger Sonic instead of a separate variation of Sonic.
Generations used language between the Classic and Modern versions of Sonic, Tails, and Eggman that suggested that they came from the same universe just different timelines. ie Modern Sonic telling Classic "Enjoy your future! It's gonna be great!"
Ages come from the Heroes manual where it states that Sonic is 15 and Tails is 8. Then in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails makes a claim that he's "only 4½ years old". Since Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog exists in the classic era and Heroes in the Modern era, the fandom generally accepts that Classic Sonic is 11 since Classic Tails is 4. Ages were only decanonized fairly recently.
Clearly this isn't canon; however, a large portion of the fan base accepts this headcanon. So now this is considered "fan canon". And this is why people just present it as "fact". It's like an unwritten rule.
Honestly I kinda like the idea of Classic Tails being 4 but also there's no real evidence for it and I'm too autistic to accept fan canon unless canon is too stupid for me to want to accept it. like when they were trying to say Sonic's world and earth were different worlds I rejected it because the fact normal humans exist in Sonic's world really amplifies to Sonic's surrealist aesthetic and saying they don't share the same world kinda ruins that.
Oh, I didn't know this stuff. This is kind of fun - I love learning about weird fan canon.
