What's something you used to do/see/say but don't anymore because you don't feel it's right?
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'm not as naive. There usually is no simple solution to complex problems and when someone suggest one it's almost always wrong by definition. It's a messy world and sometimes the right thing to do sounds counter-intuitive
"usually", "almost always" It seems like there is also generally no simple solution to the complex problem of finding solutions!
No point using the word "always" because even one counter-example then nullifies the whole argument
"almost always" is a bit different
The Problem of Induction!
It doesn't actually mean "always". It's hyperbole. Always.
I'm too autistic to not read it literally
This is a good one. Any political opinion I see starting with "if we just..." or "why don't they just..." I pretty much immediately disregard. If it were that simple, the problem would have already been solved.
I still think we should try our best!
Sure but let's try to find solutions that actually work instead of just doing something because it feels good
