The latter are generally called alpinists.

This still happens in my experience, I've picked up keys from friends and Airbnb hosts via a local business in the past few years.

Same. Stayed at an Airbnb in Copenhagen and we picked up and dropped off keys from the pizza shop across the street.

And over the course of our 6 week stay, we definitely ate at that pizza shop a few times!

Seems strange to me, I've never done anything of the sort and wouldn't consider it. The closest is maybe leaving things at school for another parent to pickup because they left them with my kid.

But there is usually a code with some app and all of the social aspects have been removed. It’s not much different than being a higher scale realtor key box.

Well, if a guest gives off a dangerous vibe, the clerk can make judgement call.

Well, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't but the idea that a local store owner wouldn't give me if I were to give off a "dangerous vibe" would be somewhat concerning. But maybe I have ancestry etc. where I just don't give off that vibe. More generally, I guess I'm just pretty used to lodging where a delayed flight doesn't mean I can't get in.

If the person had a history at denying the keys at random for no good reason, people wouldn't trust them with the keys anymore.

Anyway, it's way more likely that they would call the home owner instead of just denying. People are mostly reasonable.

People recently voted Trump into office.

the quote discounts that read:

I'm a paying customer, why tf should I care what the clerk thinks?

I paid the money, give me the key. Plus at no point did I pay them any money -- they're just, essentially, key escrow.

It's good marketing for them since being in and out of a pizza place means someone will likely buy a slice, but as a BnB customer IDGAF what they think outside of giving me that bloody key.

Are you sure? I've read a lot of this person's stuff over the years. A lot of it is quite earnest and in line with the message of this post.

Hum, yes, I'm sure. You're right that it is in line with his other articles, you're just missing the fact that a majority of his other articles are also quite obvious satire.

Google even and odd permutations to learn more :)

What a lovely independent discovery! The context is similar to the (un)solvability of the 15 puzzle.

Ahhh fascinating! :) Thank you for the pointer.

Would take way more than that for the average person. You can count the number of people who have done that as of now on one hand.

I don't know if you saw the "Kamela is for the/them" ads, but they stoke a much more general fear and hatred of trans people than the issues you are referring to. Those issues are picked because they are most popular amongst a broad swathe of the electorate, but they are couched in a deeper hate and distrust.

I probably did see them and just forgot about it because it's a political ad. I can tell you, living in a fairly red area, these are the only concerns I've heard from friends/family/people in my church and community. They don't _care_ what trans people do to themselves but have strong opinions on that they're being forced to not only accept but agree with that lifestyle.

It's an embedded DSL or "eDSL", see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language#Exter...

My body is also something I constantly work on yet I can't help but read this in Patrick Bateman's voice.

Yeah but it's easier to own two pairs of shoes than it is to own two cars.

If it wasn’t, would you buy casual shoes or cleats?

Condemnation from a lot of those names is a strong positive signal imo.
