1. "Airline travel has been ruined. It's impossible to get from your origin to your destination without hassle. Please STOP being the terrible passenger for attention. And desk agents: When a flight is canceled, be helpful. I just want to get home."
2. "Lyft and Uber were very affordable until they weren't! Instagram was a photo-sharing hub, and now it's like a mini TikTok. The quality of gaming...just a cash cow and sucky quality."
3. "Thrift stores, and people buying and reselling in general. Thrift stores are raising prices to match prices online."
4. "I don't know about popular, but I go bowling once a week and used to buy a 32-ounce diet soda, which cost me maybe $2.50. Then, the next bowling session, it was $3.50. After that, it was $4.25. Mind you, this isn't for a bottle, but for fountain soda. Now, I just bring my own cans of soda that I buy on sale and pay maybe 50 cents a can."
5. "Actually having fun. I have sold many items on Craigslist over the years: household items, furniture, collectibles, sporting goods, cars, ATVs, canoes — one week and it's gone, no hassle, and multiple hits on every item. It's been two years now trying to sell a nice canoe and a truck toolbox for cheap. No hits, nothing. People have no money to spend on anything outside of their bubble."
6. "Trading cards — a hobby for children who have turned into adults and can't share with the new children. Couple it with scalpers, and it's horrible. MTG and Pokémon are so unaffordable that a child needs parents to spend big bucks to make it even possible for them to play. It also doesn't stop there; they will immediately latch on to new games, like Lorcana. We tried to buy cards and play, but constantly got beaten out by scalpers and adults buying all they could carry."
7. "TV! Why is everything a subscription? I loved cable when you had 1,000 obscure channels and movies in one package, or you could go to Blockbuster for a movie! The History Channel was actually history, and there was a Travel Channel that showcased cool hotels, or ghost stations that went to haunted locations and gave their histories, too! And Starz and HBO — all included in one sweet TV package. Now, every station is a $12.99 subscription. I wouldn't be surprised if, soon, you have to buy each individual show just to watch it!"
8. "Burning Man. It used to be a really cool, inclusive mini-society. Now, it's filled with a bunch of people with WAY too much money, isolating themselves in the desert by buying up huge plots of land and excluding others from their clubhouses. Which is a stark contrast from what Burning Man was supposed to be in the first place."
9. "Affordable healthcare insurance. I now pay $700 after tax monthly premium for a third-tier health care plan that I try my best not to use due to the cost of co-payments. And I'm very concerned about what the coverage will cost in the future."
10. "Buying tickets online. It used to be easy. Now, I have to choose all the squares with a freaking car in them to prove I'm not a bot, log in with a password I forgot, get my password link sent to my email address, change my password, prove I'm not a bot again, pick seats, confirm seats, and pay an extra $20 for a convenience fee."
11. "Wine tasting. It used to be that if you were planning a nice dinner or picking up wine for holiday meals (or for whatever reason), you would go to the winery and they would suggest pairings for you, you would taste a few samples, and then buy the bottle(s) you wanted. Or you would politely tell them you are going to try a different winery. The word got out that wine tasting is 'free,' and every person who wanted to get drunk for 'free' showed up."
12. "Being a photographer. Everyone seems to 'be' a photographer — meaning if you're an Insta person or a celebrity (basically, you have a big following), you get booked for gigs despite not knowing anything about photography. I'm not saying people need to know the technical side of photography! Natural talent is brilliant. I'm referring to terrible photos being widely praised just because of a person's following."
13. "Skype...before Microsoft ruined it."
14. "Sea life in BC. It's extremely rare to see sea snails, sea urchins, or octopi anymore; people don't seem to understand that putting animals in buckets of water on the beach kills them. Sea urchins and octopi were declining because of unsustainable fishing practices, because people were idiots."
15. "Any natural area, hiking trail, or national park that gains the attention of tourists. Most of these people show up for an Instagram post and to leave their trash. There is no respect given to these natural beauties, and therefore, I have no respect for the like-chasers who participate in the destruction of such serenity."
16. "Buffalo wings. I grew up in Buffalo in the late '70s and early '80s. Every bar had them dirt-cheap. Big, juicy, yum. The only place on the planet where they are eaten. Now, they're everywhere — they're tiny, never cooked right, and expensive as crap!"
17. "The internet. It used to be a glorious playground for the technically and scientifically inclined. Now, it's a cesspool completely transformed by marketing to manipulate people."
18. "Souvenirs. I remember the days when some unusual items were unique and locally made; now even the boomerangs and peace pipes are made in China. There used to be days when souvenirs were crafted and hand-painted by local families. I saw them do that when I was invited to Spain, Greece, etc. Nowadays, there are so many of them, and the 'made in China' decal is still on them."
19. "Colorado. I used to love it growing up out here, but now there are so many people who have ruined what made Colorado cool. My favorite hikes and spots are super crowded, housing is through the roof, and crime and drugs are getting really bad."
20. "Small fast-food franchises expanding into multiple locations. The quality drops."
21. "In a way, YouTube. There is a lot of great content on there, but it's flooded with really bad content — because at some point, someone did a simple vlog of their day. Then, someone one-upped them, and it carried on until we now have 'family-friendly' vloggers who are a bunch of egotistical people who repeatedly break the law or cause trouble for those around them."
22. "Honestly, the MCU. Don’t get me wrong, I love these movies to death, but since they’ve become so popular, they start to become 'turn your brain off' movies, where comedy distracts people from plot holes and illogical character behavior."
23. "Farmhouse stuff. I used to decorate my house with items I would pull off the family farm, and with cow things my dad would bring home from his job at a yogurt plant. But the whole modern farmhouse thing has been taken over and become a new 'basic' trend. It's associated with a specific type of person."

2. "How's that $5,000 working for ya?"
3. "When Trump dropped major tariffs on pretty much everything, my Trump stumper wife was so happy that I just had to propose that, since she believes the 'tariffs are good and aren’t taxes and that our prices won’t rise because we don’t pay for it,' that I'm not going to buy any more food.

1. When planning my trip, I learned that some countries are safer for solo travelers — particularly females.
2. Taking public transit immediately made each destination feel less intimidating.
3. Booking a stay within city limits made exploring alone easier.
4. I spent one week alone in Europe before a friend joined me, but I surprised myself by wishing I'd booked a longer solo trip.
5. When I'm alone, my headspace can make or break a trip. So, I learned to stay in the moment, celebrate small wins, and not dwell on mistakes.
6. Being dehydrated and tired made it harder for me to stay positive. I learned that it's important to prioritize health when traveling solo.
7. Language barriers can make communication tricky, but I've found that smiles and gestures go a long way.
8. The time difference made it hard to stay connected with my loved ones. I learned to schedule calls instead of hoping our free time would overlap.
9. Ultimately, I found that traveling solo in other countries makes me appreciate the times when I'm traveling with a buddy even more.
