Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

it’s already been made by others with obvious experience living there, you replied to it even
then you handwaved all local suffering away with the argument locals should be thankful because money
big douche energy there
Not over person has mentioned any other alternatives. It's simply complaining.
and?
do we suddenly need alternatives to justify very real problems?
Everyone needs a job to survive in this world. Workout actually, yes. Because it's not a problem. It's people complaining about their way of life. Most would not be able to live in those areas without something like that.
There was a time where people managed to survive with self-sustained farming in many places
false equivalency much?
and most still can’t live there anyway, they just have a job while not being able to afford living there
almost like you have zero actual experience living in a tourist town and ignored the point in the first post in favor of vomiting your opinion all over the place
anyway until you either admit you have no idea what you are talking about personally other than being a tourist or name an actual city you lived in with real direct experiences I’m done
Yes I have been a tourist in many many cities and I've seen the effect of industries. I've also traveled to many of the cities off the beaten path that have no tourism and have no other industries and I have witnessed how they've died. I was born and raised in a very small town in rural Nevada that is reliant solely upon the mining industry. I watched the ups and downs of that and I watched them trying over the last 20 years since I've left there try to become a tourist town and trying to encourage other industries because they realize that they have to do something and there's no other industries out there that want to be there want to move there want to stay there and people don't want to live there. Because there is nothing there to keep them.
Edit: also very few can afford to live in that town either the cost of living is skewed unless you are working at the mine, 12 hours a day, underground. Tourism isn't the only thing that destroys towns
you’re right for sure it’s not
both situations are evil
it’s the exploitation, the extreme fucking over the people living and working there so the ownership class can make a few more dollars
Evil? Jesus fucking Christ you're immature and an idiot
lol I actually gave you credit for having some empathy, hence my reply and then you go and prove my first impression correct
blind rich entitled fucktard
I don’t know what else a sane man would call unbridled capitalism that wrecks entire towns in the name of profit but regardless I have zero need to read anything else from you
have a block
Not rich at all. Not even close dumbass
I love how you don't dispute the "blind entitled fucktard" portion.
And rich people always try to pretend they're middle class when defending their behavior to the poor.
