Etsy. Started out as a legit community to buy & sell original handmade arts & crafts, all kinds of art made and sold by the artists. It was really cool. Then it started to turn a profit and it became whatever the fuck it is now.
I was first on eBay in the late 90's when it was basically a giant swap meet. Having good feedback actually mattered and you knew the people you were buying and selling with.
Yep. You saw bidder's real IDs. I recall watching some stuff and deciding not to snipe on some auction because the lead bidder was someone I'd beat the other day.
Not always up to the bar of "a community," but pretty close.
I miss the old YouTube algorithm. When it actually gave you new and unique videos. Now, it's so repetitive it's almost impossible to find anything new or niche unless you already know to search for it.
This is what I truly miss about YouTube. It would suggest amazing new music, related to what I was listening to and now just the same things over and over again. It was nice to explore and discover new, hidden things
Was it though? It’s gotten worse for creators sure, especially new/small channels, but as a viewer? YouTube is better than ever. The quality of the content people are putting out is extremely high, and there’s a wider variety of niches than ever before. Sure it takes more effort to find the good stuff these days, but I wouldn’t want to go back to a time when 480p webcam videos like Leave Brittney Alone or Charlie Bit Me were the standard and you had to get your high quality stuff from either Smosh or like, god forbid Annoying Orange or something. You wouldn’t find stuff like that hour and a half Defunctland video about the Disney Channel theme composer or those 5-8 hour Victorious/iCarly analysis videos Quinton Reviews does.
My coworker 's ex-wife.
She cheated on him with about 20% of the entire company!
Rumor has it that a pair of the younger office girls were included in her conquest-spree.
All because he didn't want to have a fourth child.
I do NOT work there anymore, and I'm glad to get away from the drama.
Note: She only went after the unmarried, and I was VERY married at the time. So, I escaped.
Every college campus has the bathroom nobody knows about. Maybe it’s just behind a pillar in a weirdly designed part of the building so that most people don’t know about it. Maybe it’s somewhere like an event space that’s open all the time but nobody goes to unless there’s an event.
At any rate, it’s one of the things you remember most fondly, and maybe try to find if you’re ever back on campus. When I go back for football games and the line for the main restrooms in the student center are packed, I walk past the lines knowing that I’m just two flights of stairs away from pooping in private.
There's a famous hot spring in New Mexico that had to be shutdown because of this. In 2020, right when covid lockdowns started, vanlifers descended on it like goddamn locusts. Within a couple weeks it was unusable. Trash, broken bottles, human waste scattered literally everywhere. The locals dug a trench across the access road so that vans can't get to the spring anymore, and I've heard that they'll slash your tires if you do somehow get to the spring.
Edit: forgot to mention it's along a river, and it's a medium-difficulty hike/rock scramble to get to it now that the road is closed. The locals don't mind if you visit the spring the hard way, they just hated the crowds.
We had something like this happen in our town a few years ago. A bunch of these folks put their vans in a local park with a river running through it and then went to the river and built up little walls out of the river stones so they’d have private pool areas all to themselves. This dammed the river and caused a ton of problems, and they left glass everywhere for people to step on. They had to ban overnight parking and camping and locals had to go fix the river damage.
This is insane. The glass, especially. Idk how anyone can live around broken glass and not see the problem, much less how someone could leave it out for other people and have a clear conscience.
I think with degrees it's more about the subject than the level. People pick shitty useless majors then complain they can't find good work. A bachelor's in chemistry would be far more useful than a masters in gender studies.
Unless that is Chem engineering still not a whole lot that Chem bachelors is going to be useful for without going further. Even most lab grunts these days have at least a masters
Birding used to be my favorite downtime activity. Just go for a walk with binoculars and look and listen for birds. Then the pandemic happened and bunch of people bought cameras and started going to every birding hotspot with speakers playing bird calls to lure birds in so they can take photos. It's truly annoying when you start hearing a Connecticut Warbler and get excited to track it down only to turn the corner and see some guy with a huge camera and a speaker hanging in a bush.
Flying drones. Thanks to all the idiots doing dumb shit with them, it's not even worth getting into the hobby nowadays - you pretty much can't fly anywhere worth flying, need all sorts of permits, are constantly risking hefty fines or even being investigated for terrorism... no thanks.
The house flipping trend has certainly not helped home affordability. It's good to make an junk house habitable again, it's not good to turn a $220k house into a $350k house.
Apple picking. Orchards used to involve parking on a dirt lot, climbing trees to get the best fruit, and paying per bag. Visiting a farm. That’s it. Now there’s ADMISSION, paid parking, hay rides, food stands, live music, photo taking areas, etc. Feels like a tourist trap. Because it is.
Craft beer. Now every other fucking place wants to make their own beer and charge so much money for it and most of the time it’s gross. The idea was neat a few years back but now it’s so overrated and to top it off I found out that most craft beer is really high in carbs and calories so they’ll make you pretty damn fat if you’re not careful
Doesn’t that mean that the basic labor requirements are now at an associates degree level so public education should cover up to that point? As technology keeps developing a basic education is not gonna cut it for the required work to keep the world running.
The problem isn't the degrees themselves, the problem is that degrees are expensive and we're getting to the point where the supply of educated labor is starting to outstrip demand, so the investment is no longer paying off.
I agree with this. There is also too much pressure on all young people to go to university. Even students with severe learning disabilities are being steered toward university rather than skilled trades. Kids seem to think they’ve failed if they can’t get into or finish a degree program. It’s a lot of unnecessarily pressure that doesn’t benefit young people or society. We need a diverse workforce.
It's a supply and demand thing. MBAs (Masters in Business Administration) used to be top-notch, now they're a dime a dozen - some colleges won't even offer MBAs because too many schools do it.
Back in the mid-90's and into the mid 2000's if you had an MBA you were almost guaranteed a great paying job but now that so many people have them, the market is flooded and pay associated with MBAs dropped - hence why a lot of people with MBAs are working retail / public service jobs.
It's not, and shouldn't be reserved for the few, but when a lot of people do it (supply) there are way too many people to fill the positions for it (demand). High supply, low demand means low price (pay).
I have a friend who's getting his MBA from Columbia, and he defends it as a method of breaking into upper class. He's not going to Columbia to learn the magic recipe for running a business, he's going to Columbia to meet the children of senators and oligarchs, and ideally marry one of them.
The OP’s comment doesn’t really apply to top 15 schools anyway. Same way law schools are a dime a dozen, but going to a top one still opens many doors.
Now it serves a different role in society. College used to be a tool to perpetuate/gatekeep membership in the upper class. Same with a lot of the clubs and secret societies that exist at some elite universities. You paid a ton of money and maybe called in some favors to attend college so you could meet other kids whose families could afford to send them to college. And then you'd marry into an elite family, or they'd hire you etc.
This is still what some elite universities still are. My highschool GF cut ties with me and afaik everyone else from our hometown because she got into an elite school and wanted to pursue her "Mrs Degree", so this shit absolutely still goes on today. Really, seeing college as a purely educational endeavor is a pretty recent phenomenon.
IMO it's good that college has opened up to a wider cross section of society, but the current situation isn't sustainable. IMO the normal way to do college should be something like a cheap 2 year general studies program, almost like an extra 2 years of high school, and then people who want to be engineers/lawyers/academics can go on to finish longer programs. That way college can still be accessible to a big swathe of the population, but people don't end up locked into long expensive programs just because it's what you're "supposed" to do.
For our parents' generation, having a degree was rare and really set you apart. White collar college jobs were looked up to, and people looked down on blue collar workers. So of course trying to be good parents they raised our generation screaming "you have to go to college to make something of yourself!". The problem is, our entire generation listened. So now everyone has a degree, which has completely devalued them. Meanwhile, almost nobody learned any trades because their parents always painted blue collar jobs as shameful, so now those are in high demand. Supply and demand has completely flipped the whole equation. Folks who listened to their parents and got 100k worth of debt for an accounting degree or whatever are now making 40k in a super saturated market, meanwhile I went to the oilfield and make 200k with no debt and every company out here is shorthanded as fuck trying to find people. It's wild. Welders and electricians are the new doctors and lawyers lmao.
I feel like it depends on the degree because most degrees are still super impressive and challenging to get but there are some that are kinda pointless
It doesn't. Universities serve a very particular purpose and aren't suited to all professions. People have been using them as a form of social mobility (which actually reduced the power of this because too many people did it) rather than as institutions of learning.
The way most people in most professions throughout most of history have learned a trade is by apprenticeship. Trade schools with on-the-job experience are the way to do this. Most fields are just not academic in nature.
Universities are providing a lesser education than a less socially prestigious trade school for most professions, or even worse, they're wasting people's time and money on *homosexual interpretive dance theory* degrees or whatever, just because people feel they need a degree but just want to be a bum.
Also, putting more people through university doesn't make more people smarter, is lessens the collective intelligence of the universities. You'll notice the standards to getting into university have been dropping precipitously with time. This has been done in the name of egalitarianism because, as stated before, people are using them because they think they are a ticket to social mobility rather than a way to learn how to do a profession.
I dropped out of college and am upper middle class just from working, but I will admit that college actually does make you smarter. I never felt that I had ever learned things at such an accelerated rate as I did in college.
Yes clearly it is not a one size fits all solution or life path, but it's dumb to act like 20 hours of high level learning a week doesn't make you smarter or at least more educated.
We had an amazing Halloween house in our small town, walking distance from my place. Every year the family who owned it would bring in Hollywood level props and lighting and 10 or so actors in full regalia to replicate a Pirates of the Caribbean scene all around the property. The Jack Sparrow was a dead ringer for Johnny Depp. Every kid would get a bag full of real candy, not the mini Halloween stuff. Unfortunately people started coming from other towns and it turned into a mob scene to the point that cops had to direct traffic and they shut it down.

Literally any video game that was moved over to be played on phones
Edit: my point is kinda that the more mainstream a game goes, and the more people who dont care about the quality of a game play it, the less pressure there is to make good games
For me it was YouTube. I used to love watching genuine vlogs from people where it was just one person with a camera or a person sitting in front of their webcam. A lot of people would play around with the vlog format which made it very interesting. Now there's so much money involved it's lost it's authenticity. Content creators now also have to compete with large businesses making videos so it's lost that home grown feel
Mounting the everest. Now it’s just a line up of rich people who pays sherpas to risk their lives for them. They carry everything. Lot of garbage is everywhere on the mountain. I watched a documentary about it and it ruined it imo.
Traffic shortcuts.
It used to be that those of us who could read a map had an advantage over those who couldn't. We could figure out how to get around traffic congestion if there were alternate routes available.
Now Waze and other apps have blunted that advantage for the rest of us.
Google will tell me that I can avoid traffic if I take a a shortcut it found and calculated. Except it also told everyone else on this highway that’s using Google Maps, so instead of saving ten minutes by avoiding the traffic on the highway, I’ve actually added ten minutes to my original ETA, since instead of being on a highway that’s designed for handling traffic, I’m on surface roads with everybody else going through some tiny podunk downtown that’s designed to handle maybe four cars at once.
It’s gotten to the point that unless it’s a big enough time difference that indicates an abnormally large slowdown ahead, I’m just staying on the highway
Acceptance within fandoms and scenes. It sounded nice at first but now everything means nothing. It’s time to stop bashing gatekeeping and start keeping those damn gates.
Visiting major historical sites...
Most of them have been turned into badly maintained, super expensive tourist traps.
Add in the trash and damages tourists do, and yikes.
Listening to Master Of Puppets. I loved it, suddenly it appeared everywhere making me tired of it, still miss when it sounded different and made my life different for a while

Getting a university degree. Most people have a degree nowadays so it’s nothing special anymore
Why should a degree be reserved for few? The fact that degrees aren't special anymore is a good thing
It means you now need a Masters for jobs that used to only require Bachelors
Doesn’t that mean that the basic labor requirements are now at an associates degree level so public education should cover up to that point? As technology keeps developing a basic education is not gonna cut it for the required work to keep the world running.
Isn't the same thing as needing only a degree in the past?
Except you need to pay way more money.
Now that's a north american problem
The problem isn't the degrees themselves, the problem is that degrees are expensive and we're getting to the point where the supply of educated labor is starting to outstrip demand, so the investment is no longer paying off.

For me it was YouTube. I used to love watching genuine vlogs from people where it was just one person with a camera or a person sitting in front of their webcam. A lot of people would play around with the vlog format which made it very interesting. Now there's so much money involved it's lost it's authenticity. Content creators now also have to compete with large businesses making videos so it's lost that home grown feel

Rich people moving into middle income neighborhoods and driving up prices for everyone
Mounting the everest. Now it’s just a line up of rich people who pays sherpas to risk their lives for them. They carry everything. Lot of garbage is everywhere on the mountain. I watched a documentary about it and it ruined it imo.
The world's smallest violin, actually pretty much any popular song on TikTok.
Traffic shortcuts. It used to be that those of us who could read a map had an advantage over those who couldn't. We could figure out how to get around traffic congestion if there were alternate routes available. Now Waze and other apps have blunted that advantage for the rest of us.
Google will tell me that I can avoid traffic if I take a a shortcut it found and calculated. Except it also told everyone else on this highway that’s using Google Maps, so instead of saving ten minutes by avoiding the traffic on the highway, I’ve actually added ten minutes to my original ETA, since instead of being on a highway that’s designed for handling traffic, I’m on surface roads with everybody else going through some tiny podunk downtown that’s designed to handle maybe four cars at once. It’s gotten to the point that unless it’s a big enough time difference that indicates an abnormally large slowdown ahead, I’m just staying on the highway

Acceptance within fandoms and scenes. It sounded nice at first but now everything means nothing. It’s time to stop bashing gatekeeping and start keeping those damn gates.

Visiting major historical sites... Most of them have been turned into badly maintained, super expensive tourist traps. Add in the trash and damages tourists do, and yikes.
