Air BnBs are becoming magnets for personal injury lawsuit scams where guests would claim to have gotten injured at various properties and then come back with a PI lawyer looking to tap into the Air BnB liability insurance plan. Property owners and Air BnB face a choice of dealing with a massive nuisance lawsuit that may or may not go their way or just letting the insurance pay out. I suspect no one on this righteous forum is an Air BnBer, but if you are, be careful.

nexous posted:think everyone gave up at endgame. that was enough movies and I’m a fan and I just don’t care anymore and well they should have. It was the natural stopping-point for a grand narrative arc a lot of the recrimination about how there's "too much capeshit" or however you want to phrase it has to do with the fact that they told a story, and ended it, and then they just kept making more the quality of the individual movies barely matters at this point, which is why you can get outliers like Guardians 3 being really good while also seeing Quantumania or Secret Window fall flat

euphronius posted:it’s incredible that you have to clean it no, it was originally more like a Craigslist for actual Bed n' Breakfast places that you'd see by the side of the road. I stayed at some amazing legit BnBs in new zealand back in like 2012 (connected through airbnb), just like an old granny cooking us these giant breakfasts in bed and hooking us up with tons of food at a cottage. it was amazing and pretty reasonably priced for the whole thing that was comparable to actual bed n breakfasts, like ~$100-150 a night. there's not an expectation to clean up a real BnB, though obviously they'd probably like for you not to steal everything or wontonly break everything. then it started to become more a landlord fake hotel platform where people are renting out their house or ADU or buying condos to list on airbnb, then became more obnoxious karen landlord demanding everyone clean up because muh profit Xaris has issued a correction as of 02:12 on Jun 28, 2023 |

cat botherer posted:My Karen neighbor who runs an airbnb (owns two adjoining houses) cornered me and talked at me for like 10 minutes today about how some people rented the place and there was two more people than there were supposed to be and blah blah complaints blah blah various greviances blah blah some homeless people blah blah holy poo poo I don't give a goddamn gently caress I will never forget my roommates and I would walk away from another roommate's girlfriend and the game was to see how far away / how far up the stairs you could get before she would stop talking and sometimes you could keep the conversation going well after breaking line of sight.

euphronius posted:it’s incredible that you have to clean it i mean i remember getting one in like 2016 and it was literally just an extra bedroom in some guy's apartment. and as an alternative to getting a hotel for one night for an out of town wedding, it was cheap, it was closer to the place we needed to get to, it seemed like a smart concept. But, like all things, it can't just be that for long. It's gotta keep growing and getting bigger, and then that attracts the attention of people who already own rental properties and go "hey why would I settle for $2000/month in rent when I could make three times that renting it as an Airbnb for $200/night?" without considering that they're not gonna be able to rent it out every single day of the month, that people treat short term rentals with way less care than they treat somewhere they're actually living, and oh yeah a global pandemic that chokes the tourism industry.

with beach rentals you always have to clean up after yourself but you don’t have to like clean the kitchen but they have super short turnarounds all on the same day

airbnbs here in the Philippines, at least in my experience, manage to stay relatively pleasant because you can hire a caretaker/housekeeper to maintain the property and clean and restock it in-between clients, whereas a lot of the problems in the West (as far as I can tell) stem from the fact that a lot of that work is offloaded onto the client this is not an endorsement of the business model, but rather a commentary on how it relies on cheap, exploitable labor in order for the owner to remain an absentee landlord

I'm sure the Airbnb landlords don't want to do it but I bet the main reason they offload it on the customer is that the landlord lives hours away

meanolmrcloud posted:alright, I’ll bite. where is all this cash coming from? is it just mountains of debt being shoveled into the furnace? For Europe, it's the one-two punch of them sanctioning their main supplier of energy and low value commodities (Russia) and the US draining industrial investment from Europe to the US (IRA). This one-two punch is also happening to the Asian vassals of the US. The dynamic this time however is the Asian vassals destroying their exports to China while simultaneously being forced to invest in US facilities. In other words, it's the US draining their allies dry to sustain them vampire-like.

Xaris posted:The Marvel Cinematic Multiverse that lets them reboot villains and dead people back to life by engaging a multiverse The comic books do that all the time. They resurrect everyone in the books. Thanos has been killed at least two times and is still plotting. I think the X-men even have a mutant who has resurrection powers now.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:Not only that, but it's an hour's commute driving personal vehicles, necessitating hypervigilance the entire time to avoid becoming a post-consumer meat smear. If there was actual functioning public transit in this blasted hellscape, it'd probably be a lot less of a burden on the mind. Not only do you not have to spend your own personal attention to avoid dying, but you could potentially, like, do stuff while commuting. Work, reading, even playing a video game on your phone or something. also the average new car payment is > $700 a month at some point in time, like childcare, it becomes working so you can afford to go to work

his "trainer" said in the post of them "sparring" that he thought the world be better off if Mark and Elon didn't fight so this all seems like a planned PR thing to say "no see look I'm training, I'm really doing it!" and just hope it fades from people's attention
