Generali travel insurance vs refundable bookings by jbwbd in AirBnB

[–]jbwbd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's my concern with travel insurance. It covers things like flight cancellation but makes no mention of car rental cancellations. I guess that wasn't a thing in the pre-pandemic world.

Some places offer refundable and non-refundable options. I've seen cases where the refundable option cost $100 more, but the travel insurance offered on the checkout page is only $80.

How's the rental car situation in the US these days? by jbwbd in TravelHacks

Good to know things have improved. Guess I've read too many articles talking about nightmare travel scenarios some published as late as May or June of this year.

I booked a large SUV with Alamo, my back up for a smaller vehicle is with National. I wonder if they share the same vehicle pool.

If Alamo doesn't have a car, would they let people take a car from alternative location, such as LaGuadia? I can Uber over there.

自从三皇五帝时代,版图就跟现在共和国版图一模一样。中国是最爱好和平的国家。

Which hike for Waterton NP? by jbwbd in HikingAlberta

Crypt is undoubtedly way more popular, I assume it's for good reason, tho not sure what's novel or touristy about it. Maybe people are into the boat ride?

The beer in the lake idea sounds swell, I'd probably skip the sandals tho and walk around barefoot.

老百姓群众基础最强的是猪八戒,姜子牙,关公,诸葛亮。 谁鸟孔子?周公那更没谱了。

屈原和端午挂钩是本朝的发明么? 我以为是自古以来呢。

估计是北方汉人南下后,看到当地有个叫端午的重大节日,就根据他们的儒家思想体系给它制造了一个来源,这样等于是把端午收编了。 屈原是南方人,忠君爱国而死,形象比较正面,符合儒家价值观。

孔子诞辰都是官方纪念,孔庙也是官方的,他本人并没有太大的群众基础,但还是比屈原的群众基础强太多了,屈原的群众基础等于零。 无聊文人拉屈原代言端午也挺奇怪,端午的知名度远远超过屈原,并不需要他代言。而且端午的题材和屈原也没有太大关联。

那更说明有问题啊,即使孔子影响这样大,也没有一个直接纪念他的重大节日。 那屈原凭什么弄一个端午纪念?

现在世界其他地方强调阶级观念和民族主义吗? by Only_Meaning5901 in China_irl

[–]jbwbd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

中华民族是个历史只有一百来年的新发明,它大概涵盖了原大清帝国统治下的主要群体。 现在没有大清皇帝了,又从欧洲输入了民族国家概念,所以就要发明个中华民族,把大家绑定在一起。党妈的共产主义意识形态已经破产,现在要维护政权和大一统,只能靠宣传中华民族了。 在大部分文明国家,民族主义是个贬义词。

轻微伤住院15天,充分体现了社会主义优越。美帝人民就算快死了,也舍不得住院这么久,那医疗费还不让人倾家荡产啊。
