  • Oh yeah I’m with you there. I click the box for total price and skim the rules. All I had to do at this place was put dirty towels on the floor and run the dishwasher (never used dishes so didn’t have to). But all those places with chores? Lol get fucked, I’m with you completely. Hotel all the way. They can’t bill me for cleaning and also make me do chores. I don’t do my own chores.


  • Airbnb competes with itself, due to the individual hosts putting up their own listings. Or are you accusing them of being a cartel?

    Airbnbs are not actually bnbs. They don’t have free breakfast. They are just a room.

    Businesses fail all the time. As long as they continue to have what I want at a price I want with the convenience I want, I’ll keep using it. Just like ubers and DoorDash.

    Who cares if VCs waste their money on an unprofitable business as long as the hosts don’t create a cartel?



  • I stayed at an Airbnb last weekend. Instead of paying over five hundred a night for a tiny non luxurious hotel room, I paid 300 a night (total, after splitting was 150) a night for a massive two bedroom apartment two blocks from the hotel room. Parking, everything included.

    It was cheaper and better than a hotel. Are you somehow gonna make the hotel lower their price? For that to happen, they would need competition.




  • There’s no King of the Alphabet People dictating and controlling exactly how everyone behaves. You’re dealing with individuals who due to America’s (and other) shitty government are dealing with a literal existential crisis. This is a terrifying position to be in. Unfortunately I consider it normal and expected that in a situation like this for people to feel cornered and viciously protective of their safe spaces.

    It’s not impossible to have a good faith discussion over the Internet. But not everyone wants to have those discussions. Not everyone wants to actually educate and recruit allies. Yes, notice I said “recruit” - it takes mutual effort to build that relationship, and that means both sides need to chill the fuck out and talk without alienating the other.











  • Yeah idk. If you check my comment history you will see this conversation getting played from several angles. Obviously trump is worse than Biden, but Trump being that bad means if we all agree to fall in line then Biden has no incentive to to improve

    We could play the slow game and slowly install progressive people and hopefully stuff will be better in 50 years, but with the wealth inequality since Reagan I feel like we’ve already tried the slow game. It’s hard to tell if things are actually improving.

    I’m just so sick of watching Bernie be on the right side of history every time. Motherfucker is actually literally batting a thousand

    And yet he’s not our prez. Shit sucks
