‘Thrift shopping. Fifteen years ago, the prices were soooo cheap, and you could always find a gem. Now, they’re always crowded, and everything is overpriced; you might find something good once every two to three visits if you’re lucky.”

‘Streaming services. I miss the days of one single service: Netflix. Now every studio has its own service and holds their stuff away from services like Netflix and Hulu.

‘Direct consequence: too many subscriptions! At this point it’s more economical to buy stuff you want to watch.’

‘Then they fixed the machine after one loose lip led to another. Open lips snatch sips.’

‘You used to be one of only a few people around bidding on storage lockers.
