Sometimes bitter people seem to live forever, but the bitterness etched on their faces always makes them look older.

I'm not sure I get what you're saying? You're a guy and can't stop yourself from staring at other guys' chests?

It's absolutely cultural, like so many sexual taboos, but it is a pretty common cultural norm.

Guys in general like breasts and, until going topless is normalized, those who do will get looks. It's awkward, I'm sure. Perhaps we need a topless pride parade so no one is singled out and we can jumpstart the change in social norms.

My favorite Disney princess.

Back to the false dichotomy. You can start over at the top again without me.

Did WWII end before Hitler died? He seemed to think so given the gaping hole he put in his own head. I honestly think if Trump were to die tomorrow, very little would change. I think if he was assassinated you would see a response that would make the one to 9/11 look tame. If he'd been put in jail after Jan 6, maybe the direction of things would have changed, but I expect things will get a lot worse before they get better. As a non-American, my fervent hope is they eat themselves like a cancer and don't spread to the rest of the world. In the meantime, I'll watch my own backyard and do what little I can to stem the tide where I live.

Yes, but not nearly the biggest problem around, nor do I think his death is going to stem the tide. So, did the death of this dangerous person improve the world any more than killing a mosquito does? Or was it a tiny bump on the road to American fascism?

Being soft and not dehumanizing are two different things. The fact you can't tell the difference doesn't change that. I'm willing to do hard things to dangerous people. I don't need to trick myself that they aren't people in order to do that.

Dehumanizing people is a trait of fascism. It makes it easy to commit all kinds of atrocities because they aren't really people. Why would you want that for yourself or others?

Dehumanization is for fascists.

Edited due to the ambiguity of the English language. Dehumanization is what fascists do. If you want to be more like fascists, don't let me hold you back. If you think you can only fight evil if it isn't human, then acknowledge your weakness and do something about it.

Yeah, those are valid points. I've seen some people go out of their way to let someone else know if they figured out the secret recipe, and I can see not wanting to share with people like that.

I've never understood the idea of secret recipes, except maybe for a business. You found a really great way to make something, and it's more important to you that it's associated with you than that more people get to enjoy it? Bizarre.

What has 5 background settings, 36 actors, and 1 plot?

A Hallmark movie.

When has Trump use a word as big as disincentivize in the last 15 years? His media representative needs to up their game.

So is removing the post.

Well, oven lights are notoriously dim, little better than a night light (which also used to be incandescent).

The incandescent bulb in my oven is 4W.

Wealthy or young professionals who can make a significant amount more money in America vs. Canada, which is generally the same thing.
