What?

are you saying we shouldnt be allowing the Saudi's to use billions of gallons of water, to grow tons of alfalfa (one of the most water intensive crops there is) in the middle of the desert, in a drought, just so they can ship it all back home to saudi arabia to use as animal feed?

 

gamers nexus just dropped a 3 hour video where they talk to various companies involved in the consumer PC space, some of whom really open up about their costs and economics and how operating in america just isnt feasible under the current tariffs

Yes, criminals kidnap.

Governments black bag/disappear people.

Disappearing a person has far more darker undertones, too. kidnapping, at least theres a chance there might be a ransom.

I live in a neighborhood that regularly (as in, at least once, often more times a week) has people blasting concert grade speakers until like 4 in the morning, with revving cars, fireworks, gunshots, etc etc.

and thats from people who live there. no airbnbs.

Shitty people are shitty people. at least with an airbnb you have a chance at a break in the neighbors being dickheads.

Theres been only a couple times in my life where I considered an AirBnB over a motel/hotel.

Every time I ended up staying at the Hotel/Motel, because it ended up being cheaper.

I remember looking at an airbnb that was like 25 dollars a night, and went to check out.. and had to do a fucking comic book double take because the 25 dollars a night (was only needing it for one night) ended up being like 250 dollars thanks to bullshit cleaning fees and other exploitative, hidden bullshit.

So if that 25 dollar a night place is now being displayed as 250 dollars a night.. then I forsee AirBnB bookings plummeting.

the motel I ended up at instead was only 75 bucks all in, just as point of reference.

With technology and politics, always assume the worst.

i wager it has all the TV stuff gutted out, including the tuner.. Which admittedly is only a problem if you use OTA and not cable.

Damn you for making me feel old by realizing my computer monitor is bigger than my childhood CRT TV.
