      It’s kinda fun

      I like it that

      I love it when

      It’s funny that

      It’s interesting that

      insufferably smug liberals can’t seem to communicate without those fucking sentence starters.

              It’s common, yes, and it’s grating to me. It’s grating to me because it’s generally used to mask emotional tone in a very tiresome “I’m totally not mad about whatever I’m about to say” smuglord way.

                  • Honestly I do this one so often myself ohnoes

                    I have a tendency of seeing my conversations like a dialogue tree where I see all the ways what I’m saying could be confusing or upsetting so I’m constantly like softening/qualifying what I’m saying. It’s an attempt to ensure the exact meaning I’m trying to convey gets communicated without causing a distraction though upsetting people, but I’m not sure it works. I’ve been trying to notice these tics more to avoid the extra word count but obviously it’s still a struggle lol

                    I’m trying to wrap my brain around this and struggling. I use it as a garnish to make whatever I’m about to say more empathetic, especially if it’s going to sound harsh without a little window dressing. I don’t understand how you can possibly sprinkle it into virtually every sentence. but I’m also someone who rewrites entire comments if I’ve backed myself into a corner and have to reuse a word so I probably just have very different kinds of neuroses.

                  It’s almost like you’re a bot or lack comprehension skills.

                  ORC isn’t stealing food or toiletries. ORC is organized and systematic theft of merchandise for resell. Cosmetics, laundry detergent, razors, electronics, etc.

                  You telling me if we paid everyone more they wouldn’t steal an entire end cap of fragrance? Get a grip

      you think socialist and communist movements have re-education plans because its a fun use of time and resources? it is a requirement if there is to be any lasting progress
