re: Changes that you are noticing in society that seem to be flying under the radar

Men's clinic guarantee- if that test dose doesn't work in their office, your visit is free!

You can’t call sitting with legs crossed Indian Style at school anymore bc that’s racist. They call it criss cross apple sauce.

Where was GoFundMe when I came out of the hospital on January 6th, 2011 after 64 days, owing nearly $8K?

I still owed that after my insurance paid over $300K.
Bet they're glad I'm off their plan.

I put on a pair of jeans on the weekend and feel over dressed most of the time

This is probably the more obvious and might have been mentioned already, but there are two.


- There are a lot more people who are working from home or at least they are not having to go into the office every day.

But what surprises me is that it took a pandemic for this to happen especially considering how many jobs there are in which people could easily do from home.

To some degree I think a lot of places had the "its how we always did it" mentality and just refused to let their employees work from home, but then when the pandemic came places started to think "hmmm. maybe this can work. We can save money by not needing so much office space. We can save on utilities and even office supplies".

- Virtual dr appointments. I have to go to the dr every 3 months for a checkup. The appointment doesn't last more than 10 mins yet it could take up to 1.5 hrs spent on the appointment. Between the time to get there, then having to wait in the waiting room for a little while and when you are called in the back and they put you in a room you never know how long you have to wait. Before you know it, you have been there for 40 mins already, etc.. But since the pandemic I think I have had to go in twice.

Now I only have to go in twice a year and the other two times can be done virtual. And then there was a time when I was scheduled to go in and they sent me a message saying it could be done virtual. So you are not wasting time. You log in, fill out all the same questions they ask every time you go, the doctor calls in. 15 minutes and you are done.

It seems like even for professionals reporting into the office jeans have become the norm.

Other random observation: the overusage of the f-bomb on streaming service shows. Just finished The Stand on Paramount+ and at least two or three every episode. Probably five or six in the first episode of Yellowstone I just watched. I use that word too on occasion but it is becoming way too common.
