23 Things That Are Slowly Phasing Out In 2022 And Are Probably Going To Completely Disappear Social acceptance for cigarette smoking in public. Like the old-fashioned light-them-on-fire tobacco smokes.

I go all over for work, and it’s a noticeable event if someone smells like smoke. No buildings seem to have smoking areas anymore, even the butt cans are rare sightings. Can you even imagine someone lighting up *inside a restaurant*? People still do it, but they almost have to hide it, only smoking at home or in their cars or vaping while out and about. When you come out of a store and you smell cigarette smoke, it’s noticeable because it’s not always there. The difference from 10 years ago is huge. 20 years ago this would be unimaginable.

Look at all the different types of short media we have now, Facebook reels YouTube shorts, Instagram shorts, whatever else is out there including f*****g TikTok. I hate all of these. It's basically taking the whole idea of making content into the shortest form video. No one wants to watch 10 to 20 minute videos. You make an hour-long video you'll be lucky if you get 20 views. That's if you're not famous for it if you're famous you might see about 100,000 views.

Even when you aren't working, shifts are so long it feels like you're losing your whole day and your days off are the only chance you have to catch up on cleaning and doctor's appointments and maintaining your life that it's hard to find the time to do any leisure activities. Just watching TV or making a meal feels like such a time investment because there's so little time to waste.

23 Things That Are Slowly Phasing Out In 2022 And Are Probably Going To Completely Disappear Honestly? Cheap and neat finds at antique/thrift stores. Most places upcharge outrageous amounts for the items they get in, especially if it's a legitimate antique or unique item. On top of that, a lot of what's being sold now are nicknacks and decorative items that were made cheap at the time, and no one wants anymore.

I think we're also phasing out of the cheap product phase for everything, or at least slowing down. More and more people are choosing to repurpose their items or try and fix them, rather than just tossing and buying something new. Repurposing is even easier than ever thanks to the internet, it's no longer a struggle to figure out how to fix s**t and to buy missing parts and tools that you'd need to get the job done.

Where I'm from, you pay taxes on the blue book value of a car (or more if you paid a higher price) to the government for any used vehicles regarding of where you bought it from. Private sales have suffered ever since. It's bs

Part of the issue is that you can only get new cars from dealerships and because they have no real competition because of it, they can practically charge what they want. Plus you have to practically trade-in your old car in order to come close to affording a new car, so they can set a price to make more money from what they gave you.

DVDs (I'm going to include Blu-ray here as well) have been mentioned. Physical media for games and production S/w that one owns is disappearing as well. Depending on an unreliable Internet connection to prove ownership much less access to the software (and the user generated files) is a rip off. Mind you one could foresee this with Tax software in the '90s that made your income tax forms locked to the software.

So what you're saying is if you're ignorant of how humans relate inn your comments you're invisible. What the hell do you think woke EVEN means? It doesn't mean conform. It doesn't mean anything but that you understand basics human relations and social structures, basic concepts like rape is bad, white supremacy sucks, and it's bad to hate people cause they're gay are just a few examples.
