Can't help but think this is a consequence of social media. People have dramatically unrealistic expectations on what life should be like.

1. Rent an airbnb for a period of time. 2. Tenant reaches out to host and asks to stay longer (or vice versa) 3. They agree to a deal outside airbnb that works better for both of them.

- no rules have to be followed

Yes, absolutely

Anyone who has moved or bought a house outside of commuting distance in the past 2 years is never going back. I know I'm not.

The obvious follow up I was expecting that wasn’t in the article was “do people who exercise have less stress response to stimuli?”.

They talk about a “caloric balance sheet” so this makes sense to me.

I used to think this was true, until I got older and realized just how bad I am at writing, and how not everything is just math and science.

If you or anyone else is interested in this topic I strongly suggest the book Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian Junger.

That book really made me think pretty hard about this stuff. It's also a short 180 pages.

> He said that projection is based in part on improvements to Lime scooters' longevity, which in 2019 went from from six months to about 14 months.

That still seems like an incredibly short amount of time.
