Barcelona will eliminate ALL tourist apartments in 2028 following local backlash: 10,000-plus licences will expire in huge blow for platforms like Airbnb
  • most places in the world require that you have a license for tourist renting. In theory, they inspect each unit before giving the license, to make sure it is safe. And in theory airbnb requires that license before allowing you to list on their site. If you don't have the license, you get fined, same as if you opened a store without stablishing a formal company

  • Majority of Japanese support government-run dating apps
  • at least in the government app you know they will not use dark patterns to make you feel miserable unless you pay. anybody that has paid for these apps know it is night and day, you get 2 matches in a week if you dont pay, or 100 in a hour if you pay

  • CW: New York Times report finds israel systematically rapes Palestinians, sometimes to death.
  • I mean, I read the response you replied to as "it not just biden, it is the system as a whole, and anyone that ever got close to being president".

    And I agree. every president you have, there is some unjust war you are involved. As americans get pissed with their president, the rest of the world just rolls their eyes and says "here they go again".

    genocides are gonna keep happening as long as you keep voting for these dumbasses in your primaries. And I can't see the situation changing anytime soon.

  • Pills (Take Two)
  • what happens if I glue pills to the box, are they one item now? and if they are sewn together? if if the box is shredded and reglued, do I gets shreds, shreds + glue or intact box? what If I recycle a new box from the fibers of the original and add the pills in it, can I duplicate the pills now?

  • Brazil counts cost of worst-ever floods with little hope of waters receding soon
  • in part yes, because it contributed to global warming. we are almost in winter and most of the country has summer temps. that mass of hot air encounters cold masses from the antarctic, causing heavy rain.

    Rain like this is atypical because it shouldn't be this hot in may

  • Nazi Propagandist Nick Fuentes Caught on Stream Watching Gay Porn
  • I'm yet to see a radical be against something and it not be because they hate themselves. Either they want others to suffer like them, or to struggle like they had to, or to not let the "unworthy" be more similar to them.

    • You can't be gay! - probably closeted gay
    • you can't work from home! - probably is a bad worker if noone is watching over them
    • You can't abort! - probably did it themselves and regretted or are the result of a failed attempt
    • You can't have x! - probably has x and doesn't want others to be equal to them
    • You can't use drugs! - probably uses drugs
  • Draw your own conculsions
  • by that logic, nobody would have sex while in high school. And japan would have basically no virgins, since they have the love hotels.

    btw, america needs those. very covenient, and with the housing prices and everyone living with their parents, very much in demand

  • Draw your own conculsions
  • aside from the social reasons, there is a general decline in testosterone over time in the population, probably due to estrogen-like compounds from plastic. So yeah, people are less horny. Doesn't mean they are not horny, just less.

  • If we took material like rock from space and got it back to Earth enough times, would Earth grow as a planet?
  • unless the meteor is a rogue moon, the mass gained/lost is negligible compared to other particles interacting with the atmosphere or radiating (in and out), processes which are constantly happening.

    for example, just the sun contributes some 200 tons every year (We also radiate out about the same mass that comes in). in 7.5 million years, that equals the asteroid that killed the dinossaurs (an event which happens way less often). So yeah, maybe the mass changes for a while, but even then, the dinossaur-killing asteroid is 0.000000000001% of earth's mass... If we had one meteor like that everyday for a billion years, we would get some 20% extra mass.

    (rough numbers I calculated just know, double check please)

  • Voyager 1 is sending data back to Earth for the first time in 5 months | CNN
  • The propulsion technology in itself hasn't changed much, so it is not like you put a new engine and suddenly it is 3x faster. The problem is not technology, it is money. almost all the speed comes from gravity assists (get close to a moon/planet and let it accelerate you as you get closer), so to squeeze extra, you need to pass closer to more planets, which requires more fuel for the adjustments. More fuel means the probe is heavier, harder to build, etc. Maybe miniaturization of other parts makes up for that extra weight, but still, to catch up with Voyager would take decades

  • Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it
  • You are missing the point. If somebody is gonna profit in any way from US citizens, the US oligarchs want their cut. If it was about controlling information, it would specifically mention about that and what is to be done about it. Making the company be US controlled increases the reach of government on it, yes, but it doesn't gaurantee or enforce it in any way. The thing it gaurantees is where the money will end up.

  • Russia's meat grinder soldiers - 50,000 confirmed dead
  • If you think Ukraine is in an offensive, you are very behind on the news. Russia has been slowly pushing Ukraine on all fronts and Ukraine has gained no ground in months. anything they got was already retaken by Russia. Ukraine is on the backfoot and being beaten back even worse after the ammo shortage
