Graffiti seen in Barcelona, Catalonia

From what I heard from my brother, he lives in Barcelona, they are banning bnbs and short term rentals. In order to combat this problem.
That's great for them. But I live in the capitalist nightmare that is the US. I'm one generation removed from being able to go back to Norway or Sweden. It's like being imprisoned in a hellscape at birth.

This is the bullshit that allows this kind of game. Hate the player, hate the game, and hate the observer with a dumb fuck outlook.
False. I try my best to win at whatever ruleset is in front of me. Its human nature and game theory.
The game of capitalism is absolute horseshit. You should hate it. Work to tear it down if you're up for it.
I took the cowardly - if you can't beat them join them - approach.
I'll bet my life will be better than yours given our choices though. So who's right?
-
That what the billionaire says when I tell them how bad their private jets and yachts are for the environment.
Not quite. There's no game there. That's just excess.
-
Be better.
That's the struggle every day, Pooptart. Every day; and in a system that doesn't want me to.

That's a pretty short term view you have there. Good luck.

Sorry, but I couldn't live with myself if I made my outcome better by hurting others.
And I'm a combat vet. I've learned through my mistakes what I'm willing to live with on my conscience. It's guided who I've become since then.
If you're willing to give up your morals, ethics and self-consciousness for money, then I'd like to get in an octagon to teach you the difference between me and you.

Then who are you? Do you even know who you are as a person if you don't have the ethics to make a stand? Do you just meh all over your morals? Just give up on everything you believe? Or is it that you don't have morals, and you're just making excuses?

We're in a game. There are fake rules. Fake borders. Fake laws. It's all made up. You can play, or not play. Try to tear it down, that's awesome.
Everyone playing a game should be trying to win though. Morals? Ethics? It's a game, don't you get it?

Short term? Do you own acres of land you're learning how to sustainably subsistence farm on?

What you're saying is akin to Jews that were selling out their peers in Nazi concentration camps. Because you're just playing the game you're in, right? That's not your fault, right? You're excusing doing horrible acts for personal survival. You're no better than any Nazi trying to excuse their horrible choices during the Nuremberg trials.

Weird way of asking for 5 stars, but ok. ^/s^

Airbnb used to be great.. I could rent out a spare room and make a bit of cash. Then the developers, and the people who weren't responsible enough to be landlords had to make houses that were all AirBnb.
Why don't these places vet Airbnbs instead of straight banning it. Owner occupied dwellings should get a pass.
I remember when it was about renting your place for a few days when you were traveling

I said hate the game didn't I? Stop concerning yourself with the cowards looking out for their own skin, and bring down the system then. What exactly are you doing about it?

So you're saying "what are you doing to stop me"? Because you literally said you're on the side of succumbing to fascism and giving up. My favorite idea of doing something about it is putting you in your red and white shorts and meeting you in the octagon as a show that selfish cunts can be beaten.

Oh yeah. Here I'm just a silly little installation wizard who contributes here attempting to be meaningful and provide conversation nuggets. In real life I'm playing that balancing act between ethics, my resources/influence, and trying to not burn out.
I've done plenty of things based off of morals without it being the "smart" or most personally beneficial decision. AirBnB just isn't one of those due to how much I can save and put towards local restaurants, bars, and tipping when I finally vacation. I also don't trust hotel corps to use my money ethically, and have used an AirBnB maybe once a year on average. I'm hoping I can have another actual vacation soon since it has been 4 years.
Also, I strongly believe that my responsibility is taking care of my wife and family first, then community/political contribution.
What about you? Where do you stay when traveling where there aren't friends or family?

If you stop the game, the player stops too. I'd think that's obvious.

I don't travel. Like, at all. The most I travel is the 20 miles it takes to get my kid from his mom's house. I don't need the luxury of burning CO2 and ruining the housing market to have a good time.

Change the game, then. If you were a real player, you'd have the influence or ability to end the game. You're just making excuses to keep going as normal.

You are a combat vet? And you are here criticizing people for renting and teaching about morals? Holy molly, people have weird values.
