The same thing happened when Airbnb started as “you got a spare room? why not rent it out to a visitor for a few nights? you get some extra cash and they get a nice place to stay while they visit the city” and it immediately turned into “I’m gonna buy up every available unit in this condo building downtown and rent them out short term, contributing to massive rent increases, severe housing shortages, loud inconsiderate assholes treating places where people are supposed to live like cheap no-restriction hotels, and then bitch and moan when Airbnb gets banned from my building before just continuing on anyway”
this map has been going around and the pedant within me felt the need to make a more historically accurate version
Thoughts: - Haha - Wait, China has definitely lost a war against Vietnamese rice farmers, why aren’t they… - Oh wait, I see, they’ve been left as blank, along with others who have lost wars in Vietnam. - Wait…? Did I miss the day the in history where we covered the Mongolian-Vietnamese war? - Also, wouldn’t the Mongolians have won?
I need to print me out a list of everything they own so I don’t buy it when I go to the store
I gotchu, and anyone else who were curious:
Thank you!!
“due to levels”
not “inclusion”. “levels” are when it matters.
Yes because that’s how safe limits work. You have an upper limit, above that the levels are too high (but still probably not dangerous until you get 4 times higher or something)
You generally need a certain amount of dangerous stuff just to get something to work (ie BPA in flexible plastics). Either removing it makes the product worse (again, BPA) or is impossible (like arsenic in apples). Sometimes you just have to reduce it to a safelimit
