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.

I live in Germany. A fourth of men smoke. They started prohibiting smoking in public places and restaurants at some point and then stopped for some reason. The neighbour below me smokes like a chimney on his balcony and the smoke goes right through my windows. It's 37C during the day and I can't air my apartment out at night. It's disgusting.

My neighbours have protruding balcony, just beside my living room window. I swear there must be some chimney effect taking place when they smoke, because it seems like all the smell is sucked right into my living room.
