There is a subtle (maybe) but important difference that you're eliding. A gay person advocates to be allowed to live their life with exactly as many rights as others, not for you to become gay. Saying that it's morally unacceptabl

> vegetable oils are hydrogenated As a general statement about vegetable oils, that is super false. You can tell because the oils are liquid at room temperature and hydrogenated oils aren't. Maybe you meant vegetable shortenings?

Logi Options Daemon uses 4% CPU on a 2017 15" MacBook Pro while my MX Master 2S is moving. I wonder wtf it's doing the whole time.
