my best stays have been apartments… my worst stays have been in apartments.

you kinda dont know wtf you are going to get, especially on airbnb where the reviews are bs folksiness “the host is amazing, thank you so much” garbage. reviews on booking.com are much more reliable and brutally honest.

hotels maybe meh, but they are far more reliable and you have a better idea of what you are getting. a “serviced apartment” is ideal, but often $$$.

i very much understand that airbnb’s sterilise communities and drive up rents. taxing the fuck out of them would remove a lot of the slum lord garbage from the market but keep the option there for ppl really want that.

repeal the 2nd while you at it

what exactly do you think the un is and can do?

sure its fun to shit on public servants being old and not wanting to change from microsoft office. there is more then a little truth in that.

but IT departments are often staffed with techs that cant and dont want to do anything but microsoft, it really doesnt matter how much better linux is.
