What's something you used to do/see/say but don't anymore because you don't feel it's right? (lemmy.world)

Me personally? I've become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women's expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I've matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I've come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of 'humor' really is, and I regret it deeply.

Whenever I start saying "Easy Peasey..." there's always a slightly too long pause before I say "... lemon squeezey "

Enjoying anything. Everything is terrible. How dare I...? But seriously. Everything is terrible.

Can't think of too many, quite honestly. I don't buy into most of the bullshit these days. Moving the goalpost all the time doesn't change the underlying issues and yet that is all most people want to do - make a meaningless gesture to make them feel all warm and fuzzy inside even though nothing has changed.
