No the issue is literally the micro rentals. Because before that, we had couchsurfing. Which was all the great things about spending time in a different city staying with locals WITHOUT stupid infrastructure to fuck up the whole country

I mean I don’t like what they’re doing to the housing market, yes, they’re inflating housing prices by reducing the incentive to sell, and there’s a housing crisis basically everywhere right now.

errrr…you said it right here. AirBnB is created to do exactly that. the product isn’t good. the product is designed to create inflated housing prices. to make landlords even more rich and more able to exploit poor people. look at some tourist-y cities, where the original residents can no longer live in their houses, because it’s SO MUCH more profitable to rent per day on airbnb than to have normal rents. airbnb doesn’t provide anything. it doesn’t add anything positive. hotels are too expensive, maybe. but they have a service. they have some guarantees, room service, food, you’re guaranteed to have a room to sleep in by yourself. NONE of these are guaranteed with AirBnB. you can easily rent a room where you have to sleep with another person, clean up by yourself, pay stupid deposits,…

what even is ONE positive out of Airbnb?

not sure? I got one superlike to use for free a week. is that a regional thing? i have never paid for OkC in my life.

I’m holding the torch for OkCupid. I’ve met my SOs there. Many queer folk, leftists, likes work reasonably well and you even get free “superlikes” once a week. Messages are free, likes are free.

Es tut mir leid für euch. Aber als Erzieher kann ich sagen: ich plädiere immer dafür dass die Eltern es spüren sollen, wie schlecht unsere Arbeitssituation ist. Nur wenn die nicht zur Arbeit kommen, wenn die sich bei der Stadt/Land/Bund beschweren, kann sich was ändern. Erzieher*innen sind egal. Aber wenn irgendwelche Manager nicht zur Arbeit können weil die Kita schließt, dann wird hoffentlich was gemacht

Nah, I’m an okay person. Sure I do bad things. I make mistakes and have problematic behaviour patterns from time to time. But I am working on it. That’s what makes a “good” or “bad” person. It’s almost never about what you do but mostly about intent and willingness to learn

Oh man. So many and so much. Most of the “comedy” from the 80s, 90s, early 2000s is unwatchable. Older movies are sometimes straight up disgusting. I think it’s a sign for how we grow as a society to be more aware of the sexism, racism and other forms of disrespect that has been sold as comedy or just as “normal”. I consume much more consciously and through a more meta lense. For reference: I’m turning 40 this year

Could it? Could it possibly do that? Are you sure?

Thank you so much for explaining:)

Thanks! I am quite surprised you used 4.5 and not the 1.4 your lense could do. Is there too much bokeh on 1.4?

Care to share your exif and/or lighting setup?

Is there a way to be reminded of that every weekend?

TL;DR it’s no cause for concern for now. Core is changing speed and direction in cycles.

You know what’s “funny”. Vegans DO fund not only alternatives but also meat subsidies with the taxes on vegan food. For meat to be as cheap as it is, a lot of tax money is going into the industry

Und überall der gleiche Ruf “wie konnte das nur passieren”. So rufen sie in 20 Jahren wenn sie wieder Trümmer aufsammeln und Gräber schaufeln

Haha how funny!!! Tricking people into sexual acts that they might not want to do is SO FUNNY!!! HAHA

this is why I like that i came to lemmy from reddit back when. this would have 23k upvotes on reddit.

How is this getting downvoted? Regardless what your opinion on the matter is, this is objectively true. Israeli forces and government have been pushing into Palestine more and more, forcibly removed Palestine people from their homes and settling people there. So, Palestine literally would not exist in a few more years.
