and making it easier to set up new businesses.

Send all the simplification you can to France, we need it. Badly.

I have trouble understanding what people are actually programming if it isn’t their job. Like, you go to your computer and start working on…what?

I've written some simple shell scripting to ease repetitive tasks, that's about it (like play random video/audio files in MPV media player, resize & convert images I post on my website, and so on). Does that count as programing? ;)

If they do that (it's your hypothesis) it could also be for a similar reason people ask AI to do the thinking and do the writing for them.

My main point (the second one was kind of ironic, something online don't play nice with alas I tend to forget about that) is still that it should be to anyone to decide what they should and should not do ;)

What laws, rules and regulations are they designed to circumvent?

Well, obviously, this to begin with:

My issue with AirBnB properties is that people buy places to rent via AirBnB which means that locals don’t have access to such places for living. I definitely feel there should be legislation that requires people to prove they live in the properties they list on AirBnB.

Which is a real major issue in my humble opinion. And then, those doing that not being submitted to the same taxes/rules/insurances requirement and so on than, say, traditional hotels and other places like that. As I was saying, it's built as a way to circumvent all of those and that should not be legal no matter how useful it may be.

trump wants relocation of manufacturing but how many Americans or Europeans want to work in a factory making 20 cent trinkets all day?

None, true that.

The thing is that most of those 'MAGA' or 'MEUGA' jobs will be automatized/robotized and even less people will be happy about not having a job at all than having a poorly paid one. But it's coming whether we want it or not. The only unknown is how fast?

I can try to answer your question, if you ask one.

I didn’t mean to come off as disagreeing with you

You did not, sorry if I made you think so ;)

My point was that I think there can be such a thing as a “perfect relationship”, as long as we have a realistic idea of what that entails.

The second part of your sentence make it so we can fully agree.

I definitely agree that the idea of a “perfect relationship” that a lot of media tries to sell us is completely unrealistic though.

It's so toxic. It was already a thing when I was a teen but it was nothing compared to what it has morphed into since the last 20-15 years or so. Today, I see so many young people not just completely lost, they're afraid to even try to live something, anything. More and more of them are also completely destroyed, crushed by that relentless bombardment of 'perfection' everywhere. Our society is killing humanity in its young, what kind of society is OK with doing that?

I'm not that old myself (in my 50s) but I'm old enough to not worry much about the impact of that trend on my own existence but I feel so sorry, and angry, for those younger generations as they have absolutely no idea what have been stolen from them. They have no idea what they're giving away in exchange of nothing but a mirage on a shiny screen.

A bit like with porn becoming the new normal way young people experiment with sex. I mean, I'm fine with people fapping at whatever they fancy but what's going on is more than just fapping. It's an over consumption of... human meat. And that over-consumption is depriving them of something much more precious. Making love was never about fucking someone or fantasizing about such or such anatomical detail or some fetish or another. Here again, I'm sad for them because they're the ones losing out. Badly... I was tempted to say "they're the one being screwed" but I thought maybe that would not be OK :p

Your english is great btw :)

Thx :)

+1 to Spain.

I don't care how simple and satisfying it's to use, Airbnb is devised as a way to circumvent laws, local rules and regulations and it should be ended in its actual form.

As long as we accept that no realistic relationship is completely without conflict, I would say that a “perfect relationship” involves being able to work through the issues that inevitably show up. It’s something you build together, not something you just have.

Isn't it what I just wrote? Real question (my English is lacking so...)
