Confucius - You're Wise If You Give in When You're Wrong


Airbnb will now show the total cost of a stay, including all fees before taxes, in search results and on the listing page. This change is part of a broader shift towards more transparent pricing on the platform and is intended to make it easier for guests to compare options and budget accordingly.

Apparently, this is how hosts were able to rake in more - but making their listings appear cheap, and then adding on.. Poor us.

A Woman (Girl) Did This - Always The Ones You Least Expect

If you read this, or listened to it in the audiobook, would you guess it was a woman (19 year old)?

They smashed a hole through a locked closet door, and found the passport, cash, credit card and grandmother's jewelry I had hidden inside. They took my camera, my iPod, an old laptop, and my external backup drive filled with photos, journals... my entire life. They found my birth certificate and social security card, which I believe they photocopied - using the printer/copier I kindly left out for my guests’ use. They rifled through all my drawers, wore my shoes and clothes, and left my clothing crumpled up in a pile of wet, mildewing towels on the closet floor. They found my coupons for Bed Bath & Beyond and used the discount, along with my Mastercard, to shop online.  Despite the heat wave, they used my fireplace and multiple Duraflame logs to reduce mounds of stuff (my stuff??) to ash – including, I believe, the missing set of guest sheets I left carefully folded for their comfort. Yet they were stupid and careless enough to leave the flue closed; dirty gray ash now covered every surface inside.
