From “Capitalizing On Adversity” (February 2023): “In mid-2022, as Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky reflected on the company’s evolution since the beginning of the pandemic, he said the following: ‘Some of the best companies are born...
travel is such a ripoff, it's a wonder the market insists on any level of fanciness in accomodations.
If I have to stay somewhere for 2 days, it can be a little room with a cot, a sink and a toilet for all I care, if I save a few hundred bucks. I didn't go there to spend much time in my sleeping quarters.
No tv needed, thanks. No AC either. No pool, no ice machine. I didn't come all this way to see the hotel
Maybe you could save yet a little more with no internet. Give us all a break. You know, a win-win.
What would you cry about then?
Of course every jamin thread is a magnet for crying betas

you go online to be nasty cause real life hates you. Try not to prove this
Since you won’t solve AirBNB’s problems, housing costs,, shoplifting, homelessness, or the innumerable problems with Musk’s personality or RFK’s candidacy:
1. wrap up your work day and meditate for 10 minutes
2. Go for a run

4. look in on a Twitter feed with wholesome videos of cute animals and adorable toddlers
5. take a walk in nature
6. read a good book for an hour (by someone who is not a political figure or TV pundit or Jordan Peterson)

Let us know when you are going and where, and we will find some ideas for you of places that don't have internet. Happy to help. 👍.
No, you're seething, and imagining me seething in return.
You'll even ruin a thread by provoking a back and forth, just to indulge your nasty beta cope vs imaginary me. Literally airing your mental illness in public and acting proud of it.
There's only one way not to prove this.

Yeah, every once in a while, I see a post and think, “In spite of often disagreeing with him and knowing that Bad Wigins evinces a host of personality defects, he’s nevertheless bright and well-educated, so …”
And then he tosses out a phrase like “crying betas” and goes for a healthy dose of projection about why people might be “nasty online.”
At least he’ll take the minor slight as a badge of honor. Does that mean it merits a thank-you?

more seethe. Did you just prove something about anyone but yourself?
And now with “seethe.” I’d considered you a more original thinker than that. And too precise and perceptive a thinker to misconstrue bemusement tinged with amusement.
Not too often have large corporate hotels/motels have been caught video taping their guests in their hotel rooms or suites. Numerous Air B & B owners have been caught. Not worth the $5 or $10 per night cheaper rate.
I have used Air BnB and VRBO many times and haven’t had a bad experience yet. Lots of wonderful family memories made over the years! I sure hope that things turnaround as it’s never nice to see, or root, for someone else’s financial demise.

While I admit that it’s a little creepy, watching me on their hidden cameras would have to be about the most boring experience ever. So I look at it as a net loss for them, as it doesn’t really affect me.

You have a choice. Stay at a decent corporate hotel and know video taping occurs everywhere except inside lobby restrooms and inside your hotel room or suite or stay at an Air B & B and possibly get video recorded everywhere.
