Yeah, I don’t understand why this is downvoted either… do people not think women’s rights are in jeopardy? I mean, if they don’t live in the US maybe nothing has changed in their world so this doesn’t impact them. Being American, Roe v Wade being overturned is terrifying to me.

Ikr! Like everything is 10x more expensive nowadays

Should higher! We need this to survive!

Yep. In china, everything you do once you set foot out of ur home is recorded.

Affordable home is a myth.

I am severely asthmatic and if I have to walk through some employee's cigarette smoke to enter a business, I turn around and take my business elsewhere. Not worth it.

YES PLEASE!

a 'stupid tax' if ever there was one.

Just stayed in this thing, - hotel they are calling it. Didn't have to take the garbage out, strip the room, pay a "cleaning" fee or feed anyone's cat. Hope they catch on.

Say that again... I got distracted at "Att..."

I disagree. I come on boardpanda on a regular basis and I find my faith in humanity restored regularly

Let me guess, this is in the US?

I still buy DVDs/BluRays. I like actually owning the thing and being able to reliably access it for the next 20-50 years. Only series and movies I've rewatched at least once and want to watch again though.

Without cash our society would be far worse off

My local op shop has two buildings, one is the usual cheap things and cheap clothes and the other is the higher end stuff like vintage clothes or collectibles. It works well.

I've heard they've installed a revolving door at #10 Downing 😉

And the amount in savings accounts

Unless absolutely required, coming to office should be optional.

I live in a 24hr city, and I feel for those who work nights and struggle to do their shopping now.

I work overnights so all my shopping was done after work pre COVID . Now I get off a whole hour before they even open. I have a kid to get home to do I don’t even have the time to hang out and wait for them to open. I live in the middle of nowhere so i don’t often get a chance (or even hand the desire) to make a separate trip into town

24 Walmarts were the best for us late night owls. Covid f*cked this up across the land.

I think you can probably extend that to 24 hour stores in general :(

Yep, 2020 killed that for most 24 hour places

Cool. The less time that store can exploit their workers, the better.

I wish the entire chain would die! Screw Walmart!

I'm not exactly sure this is a problem. If you can order anything online, whenever you want, why would 24 hour brick and mortar stores not being a thing anymore be a problem? I'm not saying I want physical stores to go away completely (I very much do not), I just don't quite get why they need to be open 24 hours. Well...Walmart does sell pretty much everything, so I kind of get it, but I also don't really support Walmart (apart from buying 4 or 6 packages of 6 packs of Fruit of the Loom underwear there - they are good underwear and have some fun patterns, don't judge me! - and they're inexpensive and they last a long time, meaning I don't have to keep going back to Walmart all the time to buy more! They also have good sports bras, with no underwire! I only shop there because I cannot find Fruit of the Loom underwear anywhere else in a store in my city and I don't shop online, even if I did have a credit card).

Borrowing from Steven Wright, big chain stores will still be open 24 hours... just not in a row.

24 hours groceries at all! I LOVED shopping at Walmart or Kroger at 2am after finishing work or if I was really sick in the middle of the night, I could go get saltines and medicine. My BF bought saltines from the pharmacy the last time I had nausea, and they were stale out of the package, and HELLA expensive!

I DON'T miss the gang activity

I miss that. They never opened again after the pandemic. I loved being able to avoid people.

this one makes me sad

Stores need to have bullet proof glass, only admit buyers in that have a driver's license and have no records

Those 24 hour things have disappeared for a long time in my city. Oh, our city hall restricted venues, clubs etc to 1am

Eew walmart. Get rid of all of them!!!!

You can blame all the meth-heads shoplifting everything for this.

Yup, Sitcoms are fading in general. Or are already completely gone. At least good ones. Maybe because you can't have dark-humored, sarcastic content anymore. Imagine "Married with Children" going on air nowadays. My favorite Sitcom...

Yup, with the new law in 2024 these are a thing of the past in the EU. USB-C for any brand. Not just Apple.

not in africa, we have too many unemployed people. We need job creation.

Nope, I think real menus are a hill many will choose to die on.
