Every day, some annoyance begs the question, “How is this still a thing?” From superfluous charges attached to normal transactions to absolutely predatory social media stars, there is a long list of norms that are way beyond their expiration date. So the new year is a good time to sit down and take stock.
Someone asked the internet “What should die in 2024?” and folks shared all the things that need to remain in the past. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote your favorite examples, and share what you hope is going to finally die out this year in the comments section below.

I used to work for this pharma company and one summer they celebrated the release of two drugs and did a huge annual meeting bringing all employees from across the USA to California.

Especially when their bonuses reflect the company’s profits which are a direct result of their employees hard work.

Those bonuses might account for the equivalent salaries of a couple hundred people....part of running a company is finding the most productive and cost efficient way of doing things, so it's less about them getting a fat bonus and more about the fact that despite that fat bonus their operating costs have still decreased by 5/10/20x.

anyone working a full time job should be able to afford housing, food, utilities, transportation, clothing, healthcare, vacations, self care, entertainment,/fun, family functions AND be able to put some back for savings as well as retirement, with some left over. 40 hours for fast food workers is the same amount of time as anyone else's 40 hours. No one should have to work multiple jobs just to be able to live. Also if you're being asked to tip (regardless of the type of establishment), there's a 99.999989% chance that the employees are not getting minimum wage. Just like servers, bartenders, and hosts. Because corporations want you to not only pay for the goods but pay the employees too.
Chris Borei 1 year ago
You say "Also if you're being asked to tip (regardless of the type of establishment), there's a 99.999989% chance that the employees are not getting minimum wage.".... first, that is not true. Fast food workers are not waitstaff and must be paid an hourly rate at least minimum wage by federal law and in today's day and time, there are very few fast food restaurants paying employees only federal minimum wage. Secondly, even waitstaff are actually guaranteed full minimum wage by federal law. Yes their actual hourly rate is lower, but if the tips they collect plus their wage dies not equal the federal n minimum wage, then the employer must make up the difference. This is federal law.

It’s the business’ way of avoiding raising their employees’ pay.

Honestly, I don't get most pranks anyway, even from long before the internet. I cannot see how it is funny to frighten or humiliate someone, in the hope that they will actually lose their temper. The only sort of prank that entertains me is the one where people are just confused, like the time I gave DH a box of chocolates and every night I refilled nearly all he had eaten from a spare box (it had got partly melted in the sun, hence I had to buy another one before his birthday). Seeing him sit there one day and ask 'what is going on with my chocolates, I am sure I've eaten some of them already' and just look perplexed was hilarious.

Private companies investing in single family housing.
Alexandra 1 year ago
Housing should primarily be in the hands of the state, not private companies. Everyone needs to live somewhere and for a society it's better to have it's members live in a home rather than on the streets with all the other problems attached to it. Private companies can play a role in the higher segments of housing, but everyone should be able to live under a roof.

Or being low wage and having 25% of your take home pay stolen by medical wage garnishments. Yes, I call it 'stolen' and I'll die on that hill. Those who make $7.25 an hour get every cent above 29 hours stolen from them. Let me explain why I use 'stolen'. I can see garnishing due to unpaid credit cards cuz that's done on purpose. One doesn't need to use/max out cards when they can't afford them. But getting ill, needing hospitalization? That can not be helped. So the poor worker who is barely getting by with normal take home now has 25% stolen for months to years upon years. Get a 2nd job and they take 25% of that too. And no one can afford ch7 bankruptcy since that's $1400+ needing to be paid in full before it can be discharged. Poor people get severely punished for daring to get sick/injured. It's not right and it's not fair.

I am a psychologist. If you were diagnosed some time ago, you may not be familiar with a “level”. The current DSM-V criteria include levels of severity for the social-communication and for the repetitive behavior criteria, based on the level of support a person needs related to such.
chora pisces 1 year ago
I only partially agree, yes people should talk to a professional and prevent false diagnosis, and some people lie to get attention. But there are people who aren't able to get a proper diagnosis. This can be the result of a variety of variables in each individual person's life. I, for example, am currently not "officially" diagnosed because my autism was undetectable due to my heightened angsiety during the time of my exam. I am unfiagnosed despite all of the many proffessionals I was ABLE to talk to agreeing that I have autism. And I am one of a lucky few examples that was ABLE to talk to my parents, ABLE to talk to my doctor, and ABLE to afford those types of appointments. Women are harder to diagnose because mental illness isn't studied nearly as much in us. So yes, people should be cautious to diagnose themselves, as well as be cautious of believing people online who self-diagnose, but sometimes that isn't an option.
Tyranamar Seuss 1 year ago
I'm curious. Why the desire to have that particular label? You had an exam and it was negative. Even if you do have some mild traits. What does having this "diagnosis" provide. You don't need to be autistic to have permission to have whatever quirks you have. And getting the diagnosis doesn't help you with medication. Is there a specific type of therapy you're hoping to get by having this label? I just don't understand why people get so invested in having a particular MH diagnosis.

The biggest problem I see with "cancel culture", and most social media based "incidents", are those that jump on the bandwagon without any vetting. For the most part, citizens have no accurate knowledge of the accused or the accusers, and just react. "Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't seem to exist on social media. That being said, those whose words or actions have proven to be poisonous deserve all the "cancel" they get.

Cancel culture is about stopping people working because they have different views from you. It's not about physical violence. It's more about not employing someone, or buying from them, because they don't agree with the trendy ideology of the mob.

Super mario brothers was released for the NES in 1985, having taken two years and $800,000 to develop it sold for $50. Adjusted for inflation, that is a modern day price of $151. Compare that to modern games. AAA titles routinely cost hundreds of millions, and have a development time of 5-8 years. Red dead redemption 2 cost $565 million dollars over 8 years....and launched for $60. It took four times as long to make, costing 706 times as much....only to have a sale price that's equivalent of 39% of what we were paying 30 odd years before. Provided that people actually buy the thing during the initial launch window.....and current data puts those numbers at about 25% of total sales. Most are waiting until prices drop to by 50% or more. Perhaps part of the problem is that modern society is a bit spoilt, doesn't have any semblance of perspective and expects too damn much in return for almost nothing.

Bed bugs
AMaureen Dance 1 year ago
Or longer. They were a knnow thig when I was a kid in the 60's. I didn't see them, but the adults would always say at bedtime "Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite."

I’m 63, and up to about 20 years ago, I thought bedbugs were made up critters for fairytales and children’s rhymes. “Sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite” is something my parents used to say to me when I was little. But noone ever told me they were real. The reason being that they were basically unknown where I live when I was younger. Then again, we were eradicating diseases through mass vaccinations back then too. Oh, how stupid some of us have become, to have opened the door to a return to pre-vaccine levels of easily avoidable diseases, cause a few very stupid and very loud a******s spouting utter B******T and convincing the weak minded and gullible—-and STUPID—-amongst us that science and vaccines are bad but prayers and crystals will keep you and your children healthy. What the actual f**k?

They have found bed bug carcasses in ancient places, we will never be rid of them. And it's not a sign of filth or neglect or squalor, my mother picked them up on a grayhound bus from Arizona to Texas and it took 6 MONTHS to get rid of them completely. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. And only 2\3 of humans react to the bites, so theoretically you could be getting bit every night and not know it til they multiply enough to become obvious Edit: also they only bite people, and are a strictly people problem, so until all the people go away...

Reaction videos.

If its done right. The reactor crediting the video (and linking the og video) being genuine reactions (not faked) and not being mean (knowing the difference btwn being critical and just plain rude)
Jesha 1 year ago
I've seen some adorable ones of musicians being exposed to new things, like a rap artist hearing Weird Al for the first time and being absolutely blown away by his wordplay and ability to spit REALLY fast. He heard Amish Paradise and kept having to pause because he was doubled over cackling with pure delight. He was engaging with it artistically, which I think is the difference.

I like reaction videos. Just need to find the good channels. Watching people discover new music is a very nice thing to watch. I have also discovered bands I had not heard of before through these channels. Plus some like The Charismatic Voice explain how singers are doing what they do.

I enjoy watching people react to music they've never heard before. You learn who the good thoughtful reactors are and follow them and skip the rest who are only in it for the clicks to drive revenue.

The scam of inflation.

THIS inflation is absolutely a scam. Corporations are making record profits by using the excuse of supply chain issues that no longer exist.
Load More Replies... Limey 1 year ago
What we are experiencing now isn’t true inflation. It is price hiking by corporations to raise costs while not raising pay so they can make record profits. It FEELS like inflation, but the cause is entirely different. It is manufactured, deliberate and (for its creators) working.

Our HOA allows our board member who like to 'decorate' the property to put up large colorful ceramic pots all over the place. Then the plants die, and it fills with water and breeds mosquitoes - we've never seen so many around our complex in the past. But HOA won't do anything about it. The Benson in Renton, WA

BP is on this list for me in 2024. I have loved it for some years, but 2023 has been close to depressing reading the comments section. It used to reliably be a beautiful, supportive community that encouraged diverse views while not tolerating hate. There's happier places to be. Wishing you all well.

I started coming here in 2023. The first thing I noticed was how left leaning BP is and how any opposing view is brutally attacked. The second thing I noticed was how blatantly anti-American many of the posts are. The third thing I noticed was the propensity for male bashing. Yet I continue coming here mostly because it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
