It was apparently in the ToS that they hold the right to run background checks on hosts and renters alike, when they choose to. Granted, it’s not an in-depth check, but any criminal records that are accessible to the public are accessible to them.

It’s funny - I’m often in charge of booking the stay for large family get togethers and trips, and I exclusively used AirBnb. However, after using their service for 6+ years, they ended up canceling a reservation I had had for months THE NIGHT BEFORE OUR TRIP. I didn’t even realize they had canceled on me til our plane had landed.
Turns out, they suddenly had a problem with a misdemeanor I had been charged with 8 years prior when I was 20 (minor possession of marijuana). They disabled my account and said I couldn’t rent through them anymore because of my criminal history. I reached out to them and offered an explanation, as well as reminding them that this was an old conviction of a minor drug possession. I don’t have a criminal record beyond that, and had been an avid customer of theirs for many years with raving reviews. They still denied me, and I’m still banned to this day. So yeah, they can go fuck themselves.
I agree that the idea of it is terrifying. I just feel like they executed it poorly in the movie. They somehow made it a little hokey.
Talk To Me. I would also say Sinister and The Conjuring are my favorites, and I also struggle to find scary movies that genuinely scare me. Watch this alone in the dark the first time. It is now my all-time favorite scary movie, and it’s fairly recent.
Castlevania Symphony of the Night.
My brother had a string quartet play one of the songs at his wedding. It was so beautiful.
I think the point of these movies are to inform the public of the brutality of war, and how shitty our government can be. It’s purpose is to shine a light on it, which I do think is pretty useful. Otherwise, most of us may not have known about it, and would have a very different/heavily filtered view of our government.
This is the kinda selfless attitude the world needs.
When I was first starting as a server at this one restaurant, I swear every other phrase out of my coworkers’ mouths when they saw me during the entire first 2 weeks was, “you having fun yet?”. And everytime, I’d give a half-assed smirk and say “oh you know it”. So dumb. That phrase still irritates the shit out of me to this day.
I think January 6 proved that they are more willing to take extreme measures. The tension has been noticeably increasing.
I wear a bra because I feel weird when my tits are bouncing freely in public, or when I know that others can see my nipples. I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with going braless, but I definitely have been conditioned to feel weird about it, and it’s hard to shake.
I have so many beautiful memories of playing BioShock. What a game. BioShock 2 was exciting, although not as good as the first one (to me), but very cool that I got to play as a Big Daddy. BioShock Infinite was just great - elements of the base game, but a genuinely fresh story that didn’t feel forced (ahem Bioshock 2…).
All that to say that this hurts to read. BioShock meant/means so much to me. I hate the current state of the gaming industry.
I think you’re right that this won’t change much in terms of how people vote, but I believe it will greatly increase the tension between MAGA Republicans and everyone else. It seems probable that there will be some form of violent outburst from them.
This helped me understand my brother a little more.
Fantastic game. One of the ones that has stuck with me through the years.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
I have a fair amount of freckles. I don’t come from or live in an area where it’s very common.
You’re a great dude, Margot Robbie.
As a Texan who has no pride in their state at all and is actively making plans to move to a different state, I strongly disagree.
