PenguinJuice , in ‘Your heart races a bit’: US weather man threatened with death for mentioning climate crisis

If someone is trying to silence you, you know you're onto something....

Streisand Effect in full effect here.

mercano , in Got tipping rage? This barista reveals what it's like to be behind the tip screen
@mercano@lemmy.world avatar

It seems like everyone would be better off if we did away with tipping and paid works a fair wage instead. Employees would know how much they’re taking home every week, and customers wouldn’t feel pressured about how much they should add on. This is already standard at many restaurants for larger parties. Just do it for everyone, and build the price into the food, rather than as an add-on.

mosiacmango , in Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleading

This is partly because they have to do this by law in Australia, so you can go to the Airbnb.au site and use it to book rooms today with these settings.

They are just making the “hack” official to try to end run more laws compelling them to do so.

This country is a disaster.

“Hey, what if we did Uber but for Hotels, except that we make it so its as expensive as a hotel and impose lots of ridiculous rules and expectations of our guests?”

I don’t even look at AB&B anymore when I travel. It used to be a bargain, but between ruining local real estate markets and the general asshattery of most AB&B owners, I’ll just stick with hotels.

One time I shared an Airbnb to try to cut costs on a trip. I got there around 4pm and hated it so much that by noon the next day I had already booked a hotel.

I just do king suites now since they’re about the same price as a double but include free breakfast, a kitchenette, extra pullout couch, etc. Cheaper than an Airbnb with the same (or more) amenities.

Psionicsickness , in FBI Hired Social Media Surveillance Firm that Labeled Black Lives Matter Organizers “Threat Actors”

peaceful Black Lives Matter protest

Can stop reading right there.

@Dong64@lemmy.world avatar

Just wanted to clarify, I assume you’re being sarcastic? You believe every Black Lives Matter protest was a violent affair? Because that’s pretty verifiably false. Not to mention, not the crux of this article.

This article is about how the FBI lied in court about its social media monitoring capabilities. If you want to spout off unverified theories about how every protest was violent, you could make your own post/community. You could also try actually contributing to the discussion, but of course you don’t have to.

Bipta ,

I went to BLM protests and felt unsafe... because of the right wingers who approached me obviously hoping for violence.

BathtubJoe , in How America fell out of love with ice cream
@BathtubJoe@kbin.social avatar

I stopped eating most dairy (except cheese — love that shit) cause milkshakes, ice cream, etc started making me get congested.

No other symptoms, just congestion, and never with cheese. Oh well. At least I still have my cheese.

Capricorny90210 ,

I’ve never heard of anything like that. Did you go see a Dr?

BathtubJoe ,
@BathtubJoe@kbin.social avatar

Nah, I’ll mention it next time I go though. It doesn’t really bother me, I like ice cream but not enough to foot the doctor’s bill just for that.

matto , in Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleading

Why would you want NOT to see the total price anyway? That is so shady…

DannyMac , in What the Freakout Over Trans Women Breastfeeding Is Really About
@DannyMac@lemmy.world avatar

It is fantastic that a trans women can breastfeed. It clearly appears the public needs to be educated about this, but also people need to mind their own fucking business.

Turkey_Titty_city ,

the people in question view these types of a things as a violation of the natural order.

little_cow OP ,

yet they often don’t view taking testosterone to counter the effects of low-t as a violation of the natural order

markr ,

Nor do they get outraged about gender affirming surgery like breast augmentation as long as the person is cis.

DannyMac ,
@DannyMac@lemmy.world avatar

If they worry about adhering to natural order, many of those geniuses wouldn’t have made it to adulthood to worry about it in the first place. Just stroll through a really old cemetery and it will break your heart.

elbowdrop , in Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleading

I travel for work. Just stay at a Hampton Inn. Always coffee, breakfast, clean. Not to mention its usually close to whatever you want to go to. The garden Inn is good also, as well as holiday express. I don’t like double tree, even though they give you cookies.

Also Hamptons have a shuttle to theme parks in Orlando. Its really easy to wake up and eat breakfast then get driven to the park. Done need to worry about parking, where to get breakfast or how to get back.

It seems I went on a little rant. Oh well.

I’m a fan of the Holiday Inn Express. Always consistent.

And those cinnamon rolls too, so tasty.

marmo7ade ,

I’m not traveling for work. I’m traveling with my friends, for pleasure.

Last week a group of us went to Boston for the weekend. We got an Air BnB downtown. It was like a large apartment. It is far more pleasurable and easier for the group to be in that type of setting. We can socialize, make plans, and all leave at the same time as a group. This saves time.

The alternative of having each couple have their own hotel room is more expensive, less efficient, and less enjoyable.

I don’t care about Hampton Inn breakfast. I care about my mates.

That's gotta be a weird feeling, filling in for striking workers.

Yeah it’s gotta feel really weird not having a spine.

Absolutely astonishing, and yet entirely not surprising at all

On the other hand, reflexive contrarianism is, as the economist Adam Ozimek puts it, a “brain rotting drug.” Those who succumb to that drug “lose the ability to judge others they consider contrarian, become unable to tell good evidence from bad, a total unanchoring of belief that leads them to cling to low quality contrarian fads.”
