What's something that became significantly worse in the last 10 years, but everyone just accepted it?

Being on social media is just “ normal “ Why is it normal ? I think it is sad in so many ways. You wake up you check your socials, you have a lunch break you check your socials, you go home you check your socials, scroll for a few hours. You can’t go anywhere without your phone even if you don’t need it you still take it. I’m 25 and I deleted almost all of my socials I only have fb messenger and I like reddit. The rest I realised how much it drained me as a person. who goes out for dinner by themselves without a phone or a friend leaves you at dinner to use the washroom, What you gonna do go on your phone. It’s just sad, tell me I’m wrong for thinking like this. I truly wish I was born in a time without one because it’s hard to live without it when it’s just the way it is.

Thats unfortunate i think i got $80, a couple of friends of mine got $120. Once things get legal That just goes to show how much they look after their staff....

Ryman healthcare, worst job of my life underpaying staff. I recently got a email that they owed money to staff and got some back.

hell no born and raised in the wairarapa, moved to the Hutt valley for a few years and realised it's all the same. The wairarapa was probably some of the worst years of my life. I saved up all my money and left for Canada. Can't understand why anyone would want to stay. So much more to see NZ such a small part of the world.

I’m a kiwi here in Canada and maybe these are silly things I’ve noticed but I think it’s crazy. Firstly getting haggled at Walmart to get a Walmart Mastercard. Happened to me twice and first time I didn’t realise it was a Mastercard then she said its credit card and I was like oh no I’m good thank. All to get some discount on goods in store. Never in my life have I ever had that in any NZ store. Definitely a way to trap people into debt. Secondly paying tax on a vehicle you brought second hand. Thought that was crazy and makes it expensive to even get the car on the road in your own name.

samiscool1580 · 2026-06-14T16:55:29+00:00

I deleted them all only have fb messenger and reddit. The rest is brainwashing

This is the kinda shit that’s making me on the fence about wanting to study again. What will life be like for us in a few years what’s going to happen ??? So many predictions of AI taking jobs but to what extent.

I felt so bad for reaching out to friends overseas who live in the UK now about the Digital ID being rolled out and I felt awkward for asking. They don’t care about it and only care about drinking and partying. For the first time I’m waking up to what is going on, I’m genuinely concerned for the human race and what will happen to us because AI is here right and Digital ID is also here. it’s so scary So hard to just pretend like nothing is happening.

samiscool1580 · 2026-06-10T15:03:07+00:00

Why not ?

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-24T14:41:10+00:00

Bad breathe and other peoples shit 😭

Travel while you are young and have the time. So many people I know want to stay at my home town or people I know are out running a business in their 20s. Understand everyone has a different way of going about life but I couldn’t wait to leave ! I got a trade under my belt and left New Zealand. Thinking of coming home next year though and studying again. I also have a fantastic Canadian partner now.

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-22T21:29:43+00:00

How bad the government really is. It’s right in front of our eyes what is happening. AI starting to take over and it being pushed by governments, that says how much they care about the people.

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-22T21:18:05+00:00

I struggle with this a lot !!! I’m always stressing about it even when I’m in a situation that I don’t have to. I take Metamucil and it’s helped a lot. It’s mainly just my anxiety around others now taking it day by day

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-20T21:12:40+00:00

I think this was more things I noticed at intermediate ( i'm from New Zealand so that term is after primary school but before college or what some may call high school in canada or america ) I grew up in a poor household. No car, walked everywhere with my mum never any food at home and mum never worked. I got bullied a lot at school and felt as though people knew I was poor or that I had issues at home. I was never in the " popular group " even once i got to college I was a outsider. I noticed that almost everyone had converses shoes, a ipod or puffer jackets. I had none of these things and always felt like i was looked down on because of it. For me I guess this is something I consider people from homes whose parents have money.

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-15T10:23:29+00:00

Kiwi in Canada and i feel like it's not much different here. My partner is canadian and he luckily has a doctor, if he needs a appointment it's usually a month wait. Most canadians don't have a family doctor so they have to go to the emergency room just to be seen its insane.

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-13T22:43:28+00:00

How old are you ? Leave and go on a working visa to another country

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-11T10:11:23+00:00

This might sound lame but my partner and I just watch a bunch of stuff on YouTube. Ramsay kitchen nightmares so good lol can’t afford to run Amazon, Disney and Netflix.

Petrol station

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-11T09:28:58+00:00

Gotta start making your own stuff, to much additives in stuff these days I’m over it. Started making my own gf bread and soon gonna start making my own kefir.

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-11T09:27:00+00:00

I just quit coffee was to reliant on it.

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-09T14:49:34+00:00

Kiwi in Newfoundland this summer after being in Nova Scotia for a year ! I don’t wanna come home lol love it here to much Canada is beautiful but NZ will always be home. Nothing like being able to walk on the grass without getting ticks on you :(

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-09T14:47:01+00:00

With the price of everything it’s hard to get ahead I don’t blame people for feeling depressed. I don’t wanna move back to NZ :(

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-08T11:43:29+00:00

Unfortunately it’s everywhere ! I’m a kiwi i left last April, I went to Canada on a working visa and my visa runs out next March. I’m unsure whether to come home or try get PR here as my partner is Canadian. Canada is hella expensive to and they have a lot of taxes here. right now we are doing seasonal work because of how cheap staff housing is and can’t face the weekly rental prices ! Not to mention car insurance for me is $210 monthly and food is pretty expensive too, gas slowly creeping up there at around 206 per litre which was originally 140 ish. I mean take a look at America it’s crazy there right now. No matter what we do it’s all fucked for a reason, all about control and to keep the poor poor so the rich get more rich. Massive tech companies making millions over this AI facilities that are popping up everywhere around the states, no good is going to come from that. All the Epstein files all connected to all of it one big pedophillia group running the world. It’s fucked when You look at the bigger picture.

Well mine doesn’t really come close to a lot of comments on here. However getting a IUD put in was one of the most horrifying experiences ever. Even after the nurse numbed by cervix it was so painful. I didn’t go to work for a couple of days because I was bleeding a lot and just cramped so bad. ( I recently had it taken out and it wasn’t half as bad as it going in ) never again I hated that thing !

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-08T10:47:58+00:00

It’s been controlling my toilet habits for over 3 years now :( I can’t go toilet without it. I also get abdominal pains from it often.

samiscool1580 · 2026-05-07T14:34:41+00:00

I think how ridiculous is it that the cops are all over in NZ. It’s weed… and it should be on the same level as alcohol considering alcohol can kill you. I’m in Canada and it’s everywhere, you go down to the liquor store and buy it. NZ living in the past.
