College became the standard, and now, it doesn’t make you stand out from your peers.
Companies like to see a master’s or another sort of certification beyond a bachelor’s degree.”

It was easy to learn, made for great exercise, and the equipment was inexpensive.

“Specific dog breeds.
This is an ongoing issue.
RabidGoTfans adopted huskies, then surrendered them to shelters when they couldn’t care for them!
Now, I’m hearing about people with French bulldogs getting attacked and their dogs stolen!
If you want a canine companion, JUST GO TO A SHELTER!!!”

I mean, liking cartoons and collecting action figures or owning some plushies is fine.

You bought three!”

I remember the early days of Myspace when social sites were just starting.
We actually used the sites to online grid with friends.
Nowadays, social media/networking sites like Facebook, Instagram, X, etc.
are toxic, politically divided cesspools where people only care about likes and followers.”

“Thrifting, especially clothes.
Big secondhand platforms are buying smaller ones and are running sales like fast-fashion websites.
Once people caught on to Depop, they started making a living skimming the best stuff.

“A Nightmare Before Christmas.
However, seeing Jack Skellington everywhere, ALL THE TIME, is just too much.
Some people treat that movie like a religion, and it just totally ruined it for me.”

“Subscriptions for every damn thing, so you basically own nothing anymore.
Annual subscription; must renew.
Annual subscription; must renew.
Monthly subscription; must renew…with caveats!
Pay for a cheaper plan with ads or a more expensive one without!
What’s the point?!”

With the rise of things like Etsy, you’re able to’t just craft anymore.
I don’t want to sell things; I want to enjoy the peace of making something by hand.
Crafting is allowed to exist as a way to relax!”

Just bring me some authentic, delicious tacos and the house tequila, kindly!”

We’re most likely already behind on our curriculum.”

24.“Camping.
I’ve camped my whole life, and I love it.
I truly encourage others to do so.
Then, camping and RVing became insanely popular in 2020.
Not to mention, the prices have doubled because these people want campground resorts with perfect WiFi.”

When I was younger, I thought everyone should travel more.
If youre a parent, you gotta plan ahead and book seats adjacent to your children.
Its not OK to book cheap seats and then harass people to trade seats.
Carry-on luggage goes above your seat.
You dont throw it in the first-class bins and walk to the back of the plane.
Its not ok to rush ahead of people in the rows ahead of you when deplaning.
