0x01@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Airbnb will now show users the total cost of their stay right awayEnglish471·2 days ago5 years too late, hotels have been cheaper and better for a while now. All of these companies that touted revolutionizing industries have just become worse versions.
Netflix, airbnb, uber, etc all of them are worse for people than the things they replaced

Sometimes people do things they know are wrong. Beating one’s child is pretty goddamn obviously wrong.
The irony of your post is that it would apply well to the child who indeed should be taught instead of physically abused (punished).
But why should society let abusers decide what the abused learn when the lessons being imparted are almost always self-serving.
We all make mistakes, we are all human, but sometimes the mistakes we make should have consequences that prevent future errors. Drive drunk? You shouldn’t have a license or a car. Shoot up a school? You shouldn’t have a gun, be near schools, or really even be in general society. Beat your child? You shouldn’t be around children

Why run for president in 2024? To avoid jail. Why put tariffs on and off? To buy and sell stocks as the market bends to your tweets. Why act like a religious right wing weirdo? To have no personal accountability. Why pull out of nato? Because someone personally offended you. Why host political events at maralago? To make a quick buck renting out rooms. He’s so transparent it’s pitiful.
0x01@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•MAGA goes into full meltdown mode over SCOTUS ruling on deportations2·3 days agoI don’t think the judicial system has been very judicious since it’s become so politicized. With so many right leaning justices and straight up corruption in the courts I don’t respect their opinions anymore.
Perhaps it would be different for someone right leaning, but it’s my understanding that average people on the right distrust most government by default. The Republican mind and the libertarian mind are often similar.
All that to say I don’t think this is a valid trigger for introspection, and in fact I don’t think there is a single thing besides brown jesus christ himself coming down and rapturing their opposition that would cause even a second of pause.

For large groups I suppose airbnbs are more reasonable, though it’s honestly not that big of a difference in pricing for vacation rentals.
Housekeeping is easy, just put the little do not disturb sign up, they won’t bug you.
I don’t have an opinion on the other stuff though.
