airbnb'ing a room in a place you're actually living in seems like a way worse idea than renting out a place you're not occupying

that was the original business model for the company but it that was quickly superseded once it was realized that the real money was in facilitating property owners and investors that wanted to break hoteling law

sorry for being late to the party but I've used AirBnB once and the host offered me a blunt, so it's hard to say whether it's bad or not,

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av
I used AirBnB once, too: we visited Barcelona in the single busiest day of the year and a sofa bed about 60 km away from the city was the only realistic accommodation (we could have kept roughing it out and illegally camping in the countryside, but sooner or later you need a shower). A small consolation: at least we weren't staying in Barceloneta and actively evicting locals

I feel like there must have been a bunch of high-level marketing meetings at Mr. Peanut before they decided it was ok to weigh in on #NoNutNovember.

Hilariously, just like how Uber was pitched and talked about in the beginning as "what if you had an app where you could see if someone else was going to the same place you were," airbnb was thought of as a couchsurfing aid. They're now just ways to break established laws for providing services

maybe Lyft, but not Uber. Uber started with black-car services so “everyone could feel like a pimp”.

That reminds me of this thing that comes with my sharps container for my humira.




Not sure why I need to be congratulated for putting a plastic tub in a prepaid box, but I did get kind of pissed off that it's telling me to take a walk when I'm taking this medicine because my immune system is eating my knees and spine.

Exploration is ill-advised.
'Self-care' is just so loving cute in the most sarcastic possible way. 'You don't have the time or money to get help for your problems because we're working you to the bone for minimum wage, indulge yourself desperately instead!'
