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.

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.

Listen to interviews of him in the 80s, 2000s, and 2016. His vocabulary and coherence had dropped significantly before his first term. It hasn't gotten better.

Actually, due to some mod shenanigans, they tried to close the community to move it to a less trans-friendly instance, where the use of neopronouns would not be enforced. The community said no and formed a new community on their original instance, got new mods, hookers, and blackjack.
