Andrew Tate Could Walk Free Soon, Hero Bouncer Stops Tragedy, TWICE Nazi Scandal, and Today’s News

You’re not going to be at the Twice concert by yourself…cause I’m going to be right there with you.

You know you’re life is rough, when going back to high school is a happy place… I genuinely feel for this woman

Staying at an Airbnb in Nashville was the worst “hotel” experience I’ve ever had. The host was this old lady who stayed in the other room and made us feel like we were constantly breaking rules as a houseguest, when we were in fact paying through the nose for one bedroom for the weekend. We left the place clean and she still charged us cleaning fees because we left hair (we didn’t have a vacuum after combing). I’ve never used an Airbnb since — they’re expensive and give you no privacy.

Manny is a real hero. He sprung into action without any worry about his own safety. We need more people like Manny

How has there been so little oversight over something like organ donation?? I’m glad the current admin is doing something about it.

My family and I stayed in an Airbnb recently; we are a big family with neurodivergent (and loud, stimmy) kids and we were traveling with my in laws, and wanted the space where we wouldn’t bother anyone. But it was literally infested with rats. Never again. I will literally write one of those “sorry my kids are super loud sometimes” letters with some chocolate and Starbucks gift cards for neighbors in a hotel rather than risk being in a janky house like that!

Phil: Bouncers fought the devil and won
Me: Sounds like something out of Florida
Phil: Of course, this happened in Florida.
Me: Called it!

Writing this comment whilst still watching but you nailed it… Airbnb issue isn’t the cost of the listings but the cost of the service fees and cleaning charges that are causing me to find alternatives and trying to book directly or even back to hotels.

The abortion language is something I talk to my family and friends about. I have a pacemaker-like device in my abdomen. If I get pregnant and my organs start moving as they do, it is almost a guarantee they will get entangled in my wires; leading to a life or death situation. In my state I would need to wait until that moment, somewhere in the second or third trimester to get medical help. Not to mention the psychological damage from growing and bonding with this thing you can never have, just waiting for the ball to drop.

I never expected to hear Twice and Nazi in the same sentence

An appartment building with illegal airbnbs burned down in Old Montreal last week. Five people are missing and two bodies were recovered so far. One of the victims was staying at a unit operated despite the ban in the area. The unit was not up to code; it had no windows, no way to escape. The 18-year-old girl was staying there with friends and died in the fire after making two calls to 911 to report that she was trapped in the apartment. Airbnb needs to take some accountability and prevent units being rented in cities where a ban is in place. We don’t have enough inspectors to crack down on every unit. It’s putting a huge strain on city resources, and Airbnb’s inaction is supporting illegal activity.

Google’s AI chatbot immediately coming out hard against it’s monopolistic practices is the most surreal “out of the mouths of babes” I can imagine.

I hope that women gets the help she needs. Honestly as somebody with anxiety and who struggles to cope with surprises and change its so scary out there.

The one time I opted for an Airbnb over a hotel was my wedding night. We were charged a cleaning fee even after leaving it spotless, and it had BEDBUGS! Which left my husband and I needing to wrap all our luggage in trash bags in the hope we weren’t bringing them home with us. They refused to issue a refund. Never risked staying in one again. Hotels may still get bedbugs but at least they’ll give you your money back.

Thoughts on the TWICE incident: I live in China and people in East Asia use English words like how we use Chinese words on tattoos to look cool. They really don’t even consider what the words mean or the message, like how people who get tattoos of Chinese words don’t consider how ridiculous it would be to have a tattoo saying “dragon” or “power” in English on your body.

I often see people, children even, wearing shirts with swear words or pot leaves without event realizing it. Grandmas even with words like “bad b**ch” on their clothes. So I can totally see how this Kpop singer could accidentally wear something like that.

Ask any ex-pat in East Asia and they’ll tell you the same.

As someone who has been living in South Korea since 2011 and spent almost as much time working in and around the K-entertainment industry, I think I can shed some light on the whole TWICE/Chaeyoung incident. Firstly, in general Koreans don’t really concern themselves with too many world affairs that don’t immediately concern them, just like I’m sure a lot of you don’t really know what’s going on in Korea atm or much of it’s history besides what you seen on the surface or in popculture. So it’s fair to say the Chaeyoung and the stylist had absolutely no clue who QAnon or even Sid Vicious is. The are countless discount tshirt/clothing stores here that sell random ass printed shirts and some of the “Engrish” and people just buy them without knowing what it means. The “swastika” is very common here in Buddhist temples long before it was appropriated by evil European fascists. The symbol most Koreans attribute as evil from WW2 is actually the Japanese “Rising Sun” flag since a lot of their history revolves around that and not what happened in Europe. Overall, I think this was just a harmless accident with no ill will that got blown out of proportion.
