    After a year of unemployment one may have their eyes opened to how truly awful the modern working conditions and hours are. They may even pick up a hobby, make non work friends and God forbid enjoy life outside of prepackaged holiday trips. In short, unemployment can be a mirror to unfair and insane employment conditions.





  • Interestingly, this list seems to be a close match with trending YouTube content. Perhaps there’s a discussion here about how social media and purpose engineered trends shape our hobbies (and even live purpose ig). Or maybe these topics just get lots of views naturally on account of them being good hobbies. Also, obviously no offense to op and their interests.


  • Like, do you actually know that? You’ve said so under different comments here and you sound confident in being right, but… Could you maybe point me to where you get the ‘bog Standart’ poli science definition from? And how this applies to the terms used in the study? I’m sceptical towards the use of (only) liberal vs conservative, but would believe your take if it could be more than a convenient opinion.





  • As far as logistics are concerned, we already have models for how many people can comfortably fit in say a theme park. Similar models exist for maximum population density in a city. If we were to use such models to estimate a maximum tourist capacity within a city, dependant on public space, transit and other infrastructure, we could find a very reasonable limit for tourist accomodations.

    Either way, the decision to impelment such limits should be a democratic one, for the whole city. Private companies don’t often care for the quality of life of the locals.

    Change in a city is just as important as preservation imo, as long as the change is driven by the locals not a foreign for-profit actor. After all, at some point there’s barely any of the original city left to visit.


  • Idk man. Sure I agree overtourism is an issue here in Europe, but this just reads like an ad for Airbnb. Sure Airbnb’s are more spread apart than hotels, but they’re still usually not owned by members of the smaller communities (afaik). They still syphon of income from an area, and help gentrify city centers. Maybe a real solution doesn’t involve another multinational huge company, instead focusing on small family businesses. A decentralized solution to spreading the impact of tourism, good as well as bad.
