I am glad about smoking bans. used to hate smoke even as a child. Who remembers they even used to have ashtrays in mcdonalds, all the parents smoking away inside while their kids played. And as a young adult, coming home from nightclubs stinking of smoke, having to shower and wash my hair right away. just horrid.

The old chud lady in town that spent her whole day driving around to different stores to hassle minority retail workers died! 
Imagine being so miserable this is what you spend your time doing. Rest in piss loser
Smoking indoors in pubs, bars and restaurants
Smoking around kids too.
maybe it's because i'm better at curating what news reaches me now, but i haven't heard of a 'blockchain' in a while. Apologies to anyone who was also trying to forget that word, and rest in piss """web3"""
99% of crypto bros have moved on to being AI bros
I haven't heard anything about NFTs lately either 
I miss the blockchain and crypto, it was much funnier and less useful for reactionary propaganda than AI
Henry Kissinger :)
drinking, especially socially/ "happy hour" etc.
10-15 years ago at my last employer it was an expectation because of all the olds and their genx collaborators normalizing alcoholism and self medicating for social anxiety.
as more and more millenials entered the scene and simply stopped attending these events or shifted venues... i dunno, it's just better all around. less creepy bullshit and no duis.
Sitcoms.
Why not watch a Sitcom^TM^? We have:
-
wacky misadventures of boring suburban elites. This is our Landed Gentry class everyone!
-
Bumbling dad who does nothing to help his family but is the designated “leader” anyway.
-
Random neighbor Bumbling Dad Protagonist beefs over who’s the coolest
-
Patronizing sushi episode where the family is scared shitless and finds out brown people aren’t THAT bad after all…but it’s not their fault you browns are just so aberrant to The Normals^TM^
-
Bigotry being treated as cute and relatable even if it’s being criticized.
-
Here have a reminder that what was once seen as “normal” is now rich people problems
-
Very Special Episode where a gay character is introduced. Quick! Recycle the sushi episode’s lesson!
Bazingo. Now laugh.
dogshit left on the ground. used to be everywhere, now it's super rare.
People basing their entire identity/personality around hating the prime minister of Canada.
They absolutely tried to make "fuck carney" a thing. I saw flags for a little while but i don't think it hits a hard as "fuck Trudeau" where the u in fuck is a little maple leaf. Tons of people still have those ones on there but i haven't seen a single one about carney in a while
The conservatives are happy with him from what ive seen (since carney is self admittedly more consercative than doug ford)
My understanding is that til tok was forceably taken over by Zionists with the intention to deprecate it because of how successfully it was being used to agitate against Israel.
Less conspiratorially, It might just be that your new account algo isnt trained the same as your old one. That happened to me on other socials when I left and tried to go back.
Everything I can think of, I am not sure if it is real improvement or not. Like I was thinking of how there aren't these news stories about black or other people being murdered by cops all the time. But is it an actual improvement or just a change in what information reaches me?
