Oh, for sure. I don’t doubt that airbnb has been aggressive in pushing the business model toward full-on hotel replacement, but that doesn’t mean us plebs don’t deserve a service that facilitates staying for cheap in verified non-creepers’ homes.

Because we live in a society with laws, jackass. I pay property taxes and I expect hoteliers and other property owners to pay theirs too, according to the law.

I doubt their major malfunction is no sex. Once these men eventually find partners, they will go right to being abusive.

Way to blame the shitty behavior of men on women. What about serial killers’ fathers? Any stats on how many days a week they played catch in the backyard?

Is this real? Is your wife aware that you fetishize her as a walking stereotype of a vaguely defined homogeneous “latina” culture? And did you make your burner account and choose that handle specifically to write this comment?

I kind of hope they don’t find out about this industry, for the sake of the sex workers.

I found this part frustrating because I’m a hot girl (was even hotter 5-10 years ago) and I’ve definitely banged my fair share of unattractive dudes, with few regrets. The only people actively seeking out “10/10" sex partners are these loser dudes who have allowed their low self esteem to hijack their ability to calm…

Absolutely. It’s tempting to think that virtual reality porn and sex dolls could get us around this problem as a society, but these men aren’t just looking for sexual gratification, they’re looking to dominate the women in their fantasies. Their involuntary celibacy isn’t the problem that causes some of them to be…

I wish it were easier to sniff this out in the listings. When I’m traveling with my partner, we stay in airbnbs where you rent out the spare bedroom in someone’s place. It’s usually the cheaper way to go, and I don’t have to hate myself for supporting untaxed vacation rentals of properties no one actually lives in.…

Can’t even imagine how horrifying that would be for that woman. There’s one guy I used to date who, after I broke things off with him, started showing up at my apartment, banging on my door, sobbing and shouting through the door that he just wanted to talk. He ended up moving away and marrying someone else (:-[) and…

This seems like a good policy, and I’ve heard of similar ones being created in other cities (though not sure of the details). When airbnb was relatively new, it was marketed as a way to make some side money renting out your spare room, or your house while you were out of town, or to stay in a local home while…

But what about whoever and whomever?

My guess (not terribly well thought out, I’m tired of the news whirlwind these days) is that this was done to protect Cohen from the charges he’s facing in an effort to prevent him from squealing to Mueller. It makes sense for Hannity to want to get in on this effort, since Cohen obviously has dirt on him too.

Not trying to trash either option, it’s just that it’s common for people to overhype home births as the obviously superior option, one that is healthier, will save you money, will be a more emotionally fulfilling experience, will yield a better baby, etc., and I think it sets people up for disappointment and…

I love these kinds of places when I’m traveling because they’re cheap and fast, often have falafel, and are a good alternative to fast food places. But you have to know what you’re getting into when you order from them.

You’re the one who said foul language and leaping to judge someone (which you did without even bothering to gender them properly) is a class problem, not me. Deal with it, asshole.

I think it’s a combination.

Well, I agree that Yelp shouldn’t be giving businesses customers’ personal info, but in this particular case the restaurant would have had her phone number and address already from when she made the delivery order.

I wouldn’t feel an ounce of guilt if I killed someone who broke into my home to attack me. But the thing is that if I had a gun in the house I’d end likely up using it on myself, not an intruder, so I will never be getting one.
