Steaks
Concerts.
In the 90s youd go to the record store that had a ticket kiosk. Tickets were 10 to 20 dollars, youd get a printed ticket.
Now it just sucks. Venues add fees, ticketmaster fees double the price, printing fees, sometimes you cant even get the digital ticket until the day of and hope nithing goes wrong.
It all just sucks now.
I go down to my local dive bar and watch some local guys play rock and blues…for tips.
Kids wanted 5 guys, wife + 2 kids.
2 hot dogs, 1 burger and 3 orders of fries and drinks, (i skipped a fucking burger because I saw the price) $70
Never even considered going back.
Thought Mytical kitchen just did a price check per ingredients and while they’re expensive AF, they’re not screwing you as bad as mcdonalds.

Beef, Pork, Bacon, anything in a box.
McDonalds. It used to at least be cheap. Now it’s both expensive and still tastes bad.
The main thing I’ve stopped buying is the lies.
Any streaming service.
It’s not even about the money specifically, if that’s what it actually cost or if it was going to a good place. It’s the greed of constantly trying to find that line on how hard they can squeeze and at what price point people will keep taking it.
Way too many things to go in to here. Starting with foods lets start with beef steak. I can buy a weeks worth of food for the price of a few decent steaks.
The Chinese buffet. 8.95 for lunch 12.95 dinner. Now 20 bucks at minimum.
Korean karaoke. 20 bucks an hour now 50 an hour or whatever they make up at the time.
Hard drives. I have a movie hobby and that takes a lot of storage and well, storage now is 3-5 times more expensive than not two years ago and I can’t afford it anymore.
But on the flip side, people can now finally nudify my daughter, so that is totally worth it!
Fuck everything about AI.
DNC excuses.
Canned beans. I love some bean medley but at $3 a can… guess I can’t even have beans.
I’ve not stopped but heavily worked to cut fast food out of my daily meal plan. The cost of most burgers out there I can buy buns, ingredients, and meat to cook myself to how I like it. It’ll be juicier, thicker, and tastier as well.
It’s been more than 10 years it feels like since you could just buy a raspberry pi for a little side project.
Now you better have a good use for it, since it’s a good chunk of money.
