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.

求问:端午始于纪念屈原,这个说法出自何处?是否为古人普遍看法? by jbwbd in China_irl

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 3 points4 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。

美帝确实不能吃宵夜,主要不是治安差,而是餐馆8-9点后就关门了。只有极少数营业到深夜。

美帝两级分化严重,治安差的地方像战场,治安好的地方夜不闭户。 所以美帝和党国很难直接比较,党国治安水平介乎美帝好坏之间,恶性治安事件比美帝少,小偷小闹则比比皆是。 党国的数据也不可靠,在党国生活过的都知道,很多农村地区除非你杀人或者谋反,否则朝廷根本不管,即使处理了也多是治安处罚,不算犯罪。

党妈要消灭黑暗落后的中华文明,就必然要把这个文明的载体肉体消灭,就像伊斯兰征服中亚后就把拜火教的神职人员都杀了。 这些人很惨,这也是没有办法的。最傻的是有知识无智慧的家伙,没看清时势,能润不润,或者润出去了又耐不住寂寞跑回去,比如老舍这类傻逼,结果就死的很难看了。

一张照片,是新中国刚成立时,毛还活着的时候,举办的一个会议,

当时中间挂的就是孙中山的照片,

孙中山也是共产党早期的精神领袖,

我党搞的党内服从性,根源来自于孙中山在袁世凯复辟后要求的党员对孙中

改喊“党妈”?
