I took a trip out to the Rockies earlier this year, and booked an AirBnB. The listing was for the basement of a house where a lovely old retired couple lived. The basement was decorated and furnished beautifully, and we got to chat with the couple every now and then. They gave us recommendations to a farmer’s market which was pretty cool.

It was the first time I’ve ever booked an Airbnb that was true to its original mission. This is what AirBnb should be - renting out spare rooms - and not a turn-an-apartment-unit-into-a-hotel thing.

That’s not a shitpost, that’s a documentary of life for the past few years.

Thanks! All i can do is try to mention it where I can, and hopefully more people will see this.

This is the first time I’ve seen “gimp boy” being used this way.

Hi! Thanks for contributing. Do u mind explaining why this is malicious compliance? I’m not sure I get the link.

I hope the guy enjoyed the extra 30 seconds he saved by not listening to you that day.

Awesome! and thank you for caring enough to do this.

Doesn’t matter how you do it - if you can figure out how to automate it, good!

Yeah that’s true. It’s been a long time since it happened, but I remember she was also puzzled at the cashier’s behavior, so I’d love to think that she enjoyed it too!

The official reason for such rules are usually “we need a mix of vendors” or something like that.

The unofficial, true reason is usually that the organizer wants to be the only one selling water so they can sell it for $5.

Automation brings speed and consistency, but there’s a significant difference between consistency and accuracy.

I deal with automation vs manual input a fair bit also, this is really accurate.

As a rule of thumb, when one or two cases go wrong, it’s usually human error. If hundreds of cases go wrong at once, it’s probably automation run amok.

“the person who has been working here for a long time must be wrong, it can’t ever be the automated system!” - said no sane human being ever.

you’re welcome! I already see a few bits of OC, i’m hoping that eventually OC will outweigh reposts!

i’m sure many people can relate to teachers and bathroom permissions!
