On the other, I’ve lived in buildings with AirBnBs and they’re a scourge. The owners and renters of short term rental properties are mostly (not all) awful - residents should be owning property, not spoiled rich landlords eating up space for tourists. Fuck AirBnB.
I also visited Spain last month and I’ve never felt so unwelcomed in my life while in Barcelona and would never go back, so I guess the anti-tourism is working 😂
Same thing happens to me with an Xbox controller plugged into my PC with a USB cable. If it goes to sleep, I need to restart the game to use it again. And sometimes it suddenly stops working and sends a constant “analog stick down” command until I unplug it (which means I can’t use it anymore lol)
