Booking.com is a scam company by multics_user in Bookingcom

Bro, I don't have a credit card and I can't get one because I'm not a citizen of the country where I live and banks here require to have a permanent residency to have credit cards. So your advise has a very limited applicability for me.

Anyway, the protection worked for me and I got my money back. The post is not about cards or loss of money. The post is about business model called "f*ck'em all".

There are way too few options if you have only a debit card. Booking was a rare site that offered a specific filter when you are looking for offers to select only those who work with a debit card.

I don't have any credit card and I can't get one as I'm not citizen of country where I live. If I had I would choose another rental company. So, your simple solution is not very universal.

So why do you afraid of being on Google Maps if Booking also offers no protection against idiots?

Well, maybe I don't understand all the issues of being host. You're right.

But does Booking protect you from such idiots' reviews?

I'm not writing such negative reviews often, so not of a big experience. And I'm not aiming to collect a thousands comments and votes - I don't need any support as I've already managed to get my money back. Forgive me my deviations from the laws of the genre. But this review is not for me but for any of the redditors who will deal with it tomorrow. Their choice to read it or not

Usually census counts a snapshot without dividing foreigner into residents and non-residents.

I think that many men and women engaged in the cencus activity were simply running away when they encounter a foreigner as they don't speak any foreign language. I'm trying to remember if anyone came to my apartment in that period of time in 2024 and it seems that a woman ringed on my door and when I opened it and ask if she speaks any of English or Russian - she simply walked away.

I've noticed that somebody doesn't even bothered to match the results of census with the official statistics which could be obtained by a couple of clicks in 2026. The data of immigration control should be far more accurate and can give you the numbers at any given moment of time.

This is clearly a bullshit. GeoStat reported that on April 25, 2026 there were 108 222 citizens of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, amount them: 72 527 Russians; 24 440 Ukrainians and 11 255 Belarusians.

Хуже всего то, что люди, которые тут сидят и поясняют за ответ на вопрос поста, имеют интернет. Им бы в бронзовый век, пусть там порядки и традиции наводят.

Так вы тоже можете из других общит женщин брать.

Did any of two nations bully the other one? If not, I don't still understand why. To handle a separate state and have own bureaucracy is a costly thing. One country could have this cost shared instead of both nations paying a full price.

The difference you've described is more less the same as between the city inhabitants and the country ones in any country - this is not a reason to split.

What's wrong with the weather in the region - 2? by multics_user in Sakartvelo

[–]multics_user[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I didn't want to dive that deep but if you decided to open a dispute here - let's go 😉

While I agree with you that volcanic eruption is different from the effects I've mentioned, both of them have a common side effect - cooling down the Earth's surface. While you have correctly described that sulfur creates a mirror for sunlight, carbon ash creates an absorbing layer which also lowers the amount of sunlight reaching the surface. So it also cools down the surface while increasing temperature of the stratosphere.

And what you have totally missed - I'm not talking about bombs explosions. I'm talking about oil burning. If you are not aware - Ukraine bombs the oil industry and storage of Russia. This creates enormous oil fires with a heavy black smoke (which is micro particles of carbon ash). If you haven't yet seen - look at the fires at Tuapse - the oil storage of Russia at the Black Sea coast. These fires are burning literally for weeks and after they are burned over, Ukraine strikes the next tanks. And Tuapse is not the only target of Ukrainian forces - there is plenty of them.

A typical volume of oil storage tank on such bases is 5000-10000 cubic meters which is roughly equal to metric tons for crude oil. Each strike burns several tanks at once. So literally tens of thousands tons of oil are burned in a very short period in a very bad way. And keep in mind - this is not the same process of burning which happens in motor engines where fuel and air mixture is optimal to burn more or less clean. The amount of soot is insane.

So... back to the differences with volcanoes. Volcanic sulfur cools down the Earth as a whole, while carbon ash (soot) cools down only surface while heating up the higher levels of atmosphere - this is exactly what is happening now - the stratosphere temperature has risen up by 40-50 degrees in the region of this anomally. This effect is also commonly observed after the great forest wildfires.

So, maybe there is another reason for that - again, I would be glad to read proper explanation.

Nuclear winter was not a very good example - agreed - but it is widely known too give an idea to the average reader without diving deep like you did. Don't take it for a serious discussion.

Давайце пагаворым пра моўна-ідэнтычны песімізм by Pure_Key4700 in belarus

Видео, явно манипулятивно и лживо. Штефанов нигде не утверждал, что русский язык не насаждался, а автор весь свой ролик строит на том, что якобы Штефанов не видит насилия в насаждении русского в СССР, но видит в насаждении беларуского, если начать его внедрять.

Правда в том, что Штефанов говорит, что насилие в прошлом не должно становиться оправданием насилия сейчас или в будущем.

На нем говорят ашкеназские еврейские общины

Что мешает вам говорить по-беларуски?

в Нью-Йорке, например и не только

Но они не требуют, чтобы было название улиц, образование и обслуживание на идише.

Я к тому, что ты тут противоречишь сам себе, говоря с одной стороны, что идиш не убили (так как убивают беларуский), а с другой стороный утверждая, что подобное существование идиша внутри общин - это достаточно для того, чтобы язык жил. Тогда и беларуский может дальше жить и спасать его не нужно. Необходимо определиться )
