  • Smoking is becoming less and less normal, since it's been outed for the disgusting, unhealthy, polluting, cancer-causing, pointless, and smelly habit that it is.

  • Something once normal, being able to make a joke without hyper-offended losers jumping down your throat.

    • Messaging sucks too! i hate how i can't convey tone or anything, makes it harder to pull off some jokes without people reading into wrong or thinking its serious.

    Looking at someone, then assuming what gender they are based on how they look.

    Slavery used to be normal. Still is, in many parts of the world.

      But it isn't legal anywhere. I can't believe it was once legal.

  • I wasn't alive back then, but I have a feeling people and conversions were more sincere in the earlier decades of the 1900s. The advent of technology has corrupted the way people communicate. People I click with inevitably ask me for a Facebook and that's really just a turn off for me. Looking at a face in person during a conversion is really beneficial, so is developing bonds through effort. I hope it goes back to that or to at least meet like minded people.

    People sitting there, not on their phones-absence of cell phones completely. It really was different.

      At one point, people had in person conversation time measured in minutes or hours and seconds on (not cell) phone. Now it's seconds in person and minutes and hours via cell phone.

  • Human Sex Trafficking. You don’t often see it, but the fact that 4.8 million people are forced into sexual exploitation (according to the International Labor Organization) and 24.9 million people trapped in forced labor via human sec trafficking, which would mean that it’s actually quite common. It is also the fastest growing crime (Department of defense) as well as the most lucrative, pulling in 99-billion dollars a year. Prosecution of the trafickers (the people kidnapping and selling people into slavery) remains very low, and the conviction even lower.

    Human Sex Trafficking can happen in any city, county, state, country, and continent. It’s so huge, widespread and global, it make America’s black slavery in the past look like a joke.

    So basically, it’s suprisingly normal even if you thought it wasn’t.

      We need Liam Neeson to sort this shit out! Lol

      On a serious note though I completely agree, it's a huge problem and a lot of people seem to sweep it under the rug. It's very difficult to catch those responsible but it isn't impossible. More funds to go to investigating stuff would be great.

    Bring someone to the airport, walking with them to the gate to see them off. Or picking someone up at the airport and meeting them at their gate.

    Child marriage, You know in some countries during the colonial era. Old creepy guys marrying girls some as young as 10 years old. Thats so wrong. I even heard of it still going on in places like India and other eastern contries to today date.

        I live in NY so its a thing of the past. I quit smoking but I still think this state is becoming a socialist empire. I'm considering moving next door to Vermont.

    Smoking cigarettes maybe! Back in the 50s and 60s it was considered “cool” and “normal” to do!! Now people look down on you and think you’re crazy if you light up cigarettes!!

    An entrenched class system in which a few people were objectively better and worth more than others simply by birth IE surfdom, cast etc

    ^^^ do you feel better about yourself that you don’t have a phone, are more edgy than a razor blade, and have no social filter for whatever funny joke you spew from your pie hole?
