THINGS THAT ARE GETTING ‘OUT OF CONTROL’ THESE DAYS:
❑ Tipping Culture: Everyone agrees – but no one is doing anything about it. Why should you tip for counter service – or tip a self-checkout machine? (And when did the minimum tip become 25%)
❑ Subscriptions for everything: Remember when you didn’t have to give all your personal info just to watch a football game or visit a website? (And you didn’t have to pay every month to use a stinking piece of software?)
❑ Too many apps: Everything requires one these days. Good deals at stores, event tickets, parking…even a simple meal out, sometimes.
❑ Too many ads: No one is safe. They take up half the screen, or you have to watch a video before moving on to the thing you went there for. (And you probably went there to buy a subscription!)
❑ The Marvel Universe: Too many movies and constant TV shows turned the MCU into a convoluted mess. Do you even try to keep up anymore? (I don’t think even Tony Stark could…)
❑ Blinding LED headlights: You can tell it’s a new car because your retinas are burning. Is this safe?
❑ Artificial Intelligence: It’s becoming frighteningly common and pretty much unavoidable. (In a few years, AI will probably be asking if people are getting out of control!)
❑ New slang: At one point, words like “cool” or “awesome” were radical, but at least those are legitimate words. “Bussin’” and “rizz” and “cheugy” just sound cheugy to me…
❑ Movie remakes and sequels: See “Marvel Universe”, above…
❑ Entry-level job requirements: Why would they ask that you have a degree or 2 for an entry-level job that pays next to nothing? (Because they can?)
❑ Sensational news: If every story is “breaking” and “sensational”, then none are. Please make your clickbait matter!
