The following article‚ New York Democrat Running For Congress Wishes Death On MAGA‚ Gets Shredded‚ was first published on Conservative Firing Line. I have said repeatedly that Democrats want nothing more than to see former President Donald Trump‚ his family‚ and supporters‚ dead.  On Saturday‚ Nate McMurray‚ a Democrat running for the House from New York‚ posted a tweet proving that very statement. “Slava Ukraine Die MAGA die. You lose‚” he wrote. Slava Ukraine Die MAGA die. … Continue reading New York Democrat Running For Congress Wishes Death On MAGA‚ Gets Shredded ...

Shannyn Weiler‚ a Utah-based interior designer‚ has caused a debate on TikTok after she urged people to use caution when displaying family photos in the home. The discussion started a debate over whether a home should be decorated for visitors or the family itself and if having a “shrine” dedicated to family members is tasteful.The video began with a stitch from a designer passionately saying that one should “never’ display “personal photos” in the living room.“So family photos can become a problem when they become what I refer to as the shrine‚” Weiler begins the video. She shared an example from her life‚ to make the case why family photos should be hung judiciously.“I got married when I was 21‚” she shares. “We were both in school‚ absolutely broke‚ we had $50 to buy a couch‚ so imagine what type of couch that was. We went to go decorate our first apartment and lo and behold‚ there’s no money for decoration. So we do what most newlyweds do‚ we use our wedding photos‚ because we’re so cute and we’re so in love and we just love our wedding day. Everywhere in our apartment was wedding photos… it felt like what I call ‘the shrine.’”“It’s very real. This also happens if you have one baby‚ and you might have baby photos taken and it’s the shrine to the one kid‚” she continues. “This also happens if you have one grandkid.” @shannynweiler Interior design art tips Art decor interior design Interior design 2024 art prints Interior design art trends 2024 interior design trends #hometips #homedecor #wallart #decortips #walldecor #interiordesign Weiler believes that people should hang artwork or photography about more than one subject.“They can’t just be on every wall with one subject‚” she says. “We need to mix it up. There needs to be a mirror in the space. We need some Etsy art prints or something like that. We just need to mix it together to get rid of that shrine feel.”The post bothered many who love having pictures of their family around the house. The vast majority of commenters were people who love having family photos strewn about their homes&;quot;The house is for us not company‚&;quot; Sarah Murdock‚ the most popular commenter‚ wrote. &;quot;I’d rather have pics of my kids and our life up than prints of random flowers and art‚&;quot; Ty Harman added.&;quot;I grew up in an interior design magazine and HATED that my mom never displayed any photos of my family. Felt like she cared more about material things‚&;quot; Alexandra DiGiovanni wrote.Others noted that people decorate their homes for themselves‚ not for guests.&;quot;OR we do what we want with the homes WE live in‚ not guests‚&;quot; Ergot wrote. &;quot;I like myself‚ I don't have a problem seeing myself everywhere. After all‚ I paid the bills‚&;quot; Gege Chic added.Some people agreed with the interior decorator and said that having too many family photos in a house looks tacky.&;quot;YES. Photographs of ourselves in my own house feel so weird to me. Narcissistic kind of Jamiecakes wrote. &;quot;I don't have a single photo of a person in my house. I think they look tacky‚&;quot; C wrote. &;quot;One friend's house comes to mind for me‚ it was tacky (for me) to see nothing but wedding pics. Like‚ do you have other interests&;#63; Just my opinion but also‚ they’re divorced now. Mixing in art helps‚&;quot; _sigred added.Even though the post received a pretty sizable backlash‚ Weiler’s opinion is widely accepted in design circles. “To us‚ having too many portraits of yourself on display in your home is kind of like having a tattoo of yourself on your own body. It can come off as vain and tacky‚” Sarah Han writes at Apartment Therapy.After her thoughts on family photos went viral‚ Weiler posted a follow-up video where she shared an example of a student changing their mind about home decor.“Sometimes in design‚ we hear the design ideas and go‚ 'Mmm nope‚ that's not for me.' Sometimes‚ we try those ideas and we still say‚ 'Nope‚ that's not for me.' But occasionally we try things and we go‚ 'Okay‚ I do kind of like that‚’” Weiler concluded her video. @shannynweiler reply to @Shannyn #homedecor #interiordesign #hometips #interiordesigntrends2024 #wall art This article originally appeared on 2.9.24

Kids‚ man. I'm not sure of the scientific way audacity is distributed‚ but kids have a lot of it and somehow make it cute. That audacity overload is especially interesting when you're the default parent—you know‚ the parent kids go to for literally everything as if there's not another fully capable adult in the house. Chances are if your children haven't sought you out while you were taking a shower so you could open up a pack of fruit snacks‚ then you're not the default parental unit. One parent captured exactly what it's like to be the default parent and shared it to TikTok‚ where the video has over 4 million views. Toniann Marchese went on a quick grocery run and *gasp* did not inform her children. Don't you fret‚ they're modern kids who know how to use modern means to get much-needed answers when mom is nowhere to be found. They went outside and rang the doorbell.Back when we were children‚ this would've done nothing but make the dogs bark‚ but for Marchese's kids‚ who are 3 and 6 years old‚ it's as good as a phone call. You may be questioning why this mom left her two young children home alone. She didn't. Their father was home‚ likely wondering why the children were playing so quietly. But. He. Was. Right. There. And the kids still bypassed him to talk to their mom through the Ring doorbell camera. It was pressing business‚ after all. &;quot;My tablet is dead‚&;quot; the 3-year-old said.The kids ignored Marchese's questions about where their dad was and continued to complain about their tablets. The entire situation is enough to make any default parent chuckle and maybe sob a little. Watch the urgent doorbell call below: @tinyann22 Moms can never get a minute of peace lol #momsoftiktok #momlife #ring #camera #kidsoftiktok And if you're skeptical that dad was within shouting distance‚ the mom of two uploaded a part two where dad comes into the frame. @tinyann22 Replying to @iustmerlp part 2… daddy was found&;#33; Lol #kidsoftiktok #momsoftiktok #parentsoftiktok #fyp #ring #prioritiesfirst This article originally appeared on 3.22.23

Airbnb defines its notorious cleaning fee as a “one-time charge” set by the host that helps them arrange anything from carpet shampoo to replenishing supplies to hiring an outside cleaning service—all in the name of ensuring guests have a “clean and tidy space.” But as many frustrated Airbnb customers will tell you‚ this feature is viewed as more of a nuisance than a convenience. According to NerdWallet‚ the general price for a cleaning fee is around $75‚ but can vary greatly between listings‚ with some units having cleaning fees that are higher than the nightly rate (all while sometimes still being asked to do certain chores before checking out). And often none of these fees show up in the total price until right before the booking confirmation‚ leaving many travelers feeling confused and taken advantage of.However‚ some hosts are opting to build cleaning fees into the overall price of their listings‚ mimicking the strategy of traditional hotels.Rachel Boice runs two Airbnb properties in Georgia with her husband Parker—one being this fancy glass plane tiny house (seen below) that promises a perfect glamping experience. @rachelrboice Welcome to The Tiny Glass House 🤎 #airbnbfinds #exploregeorgia #travelbucketlist #tinyhouse #glampingnotcamping #atlantageorgia #fyp ♬ Aesthetic - Tollan Kim Like most Airbnb hosts‚ the Boice’s listing showed a nightly rate and separate cleaning fee. According to her interview with Insider‚ the original prices broke down to $89 nightly‚ and $40 for the cleaning fee. But after noticing the negative response the separate fee got from potential customers‚ Rachel told Insider that she began charging a nightly rate that included the cleaning fee‚ totaling to $129 a night.It’s a marketing strategy that more and more hosts are attempting in order to generate more bookings (people do love feeling like they’re getting a great deal) but Boice argued that the trend will also become more mainstream since the current Airbnb model “doesn’t feel honest.” &;quot;We stay in Airbnbs a lot. I pretty much always pay a cleaning fee‚&;quot; Boice told Insider. &;quot;You're like: 'Why am I paying all of this money&;#63; This should just be built in for the cost.'&;quot; Since combining costs‚ Rachel began noticing another unexpected perk beyond customer satisfaction: guests actually left her property cleaner than before they were charged a cleaning fee. Her hypothesis was that they assumed she would be handling the cleaning herself.&;quot;I guess they're thinking‚ 'I'm not paying someone to clean this‚ so I'll leave it clean‚'&;quot; she said.This discovery echoes a similar anecdote given by another Airbnb host‚ who told NerdWallet guests who knew they were paying a cleaning fee would “sometimes leave the place looking like it’s been lived in and uncleaned for months.” So‚ it appears to be that being more transparent and lumping all fees into one overall price makes for a happier (and more considerate) customer.These days‚ it’s hard to not be embittered by deceptive junk fees‚ which can seem to appear anywhere without warning—surprise overdraft charges‚ surcharges on credit cards‚ the never convenience “convenience charge” when purchasing event tickets. Junk fees are so rampant that certain measures are being taken to try to eliminate them outright in favor of more honest business approaches.Speaking of a more honest approach—as of December 2022‚ AirBnb began updating its app and website so that guests can see a full price breakdown that shows a nightly rate‚ a cleaning fee‚ Airbnb service fee‚ discounts‚ and taxes before confirming their booking.Guests can also activate a toggle function before searching for a destination‚ so that full prices will appear in search results—avoiding unwanted financial surprises.This article originally appeared on 11.08.23
