That phrase has to be the greatest invention sociopaths ever made.

Just saw it used in a TV series and although it has always rubbed me wrong, it dawned on me how perfidious a psyop phrase it actually is.

It's not an apology. It puts the onus on the listener. It's lazy.

An actual apology requires some work. Saying you're sorry, admitting it was your fault and promising to not do the same thing in the future. Bonus step, asking what you can do to make it right, if at all possible.

Haven't read the article but it was the first hit on Yandex. Going to post it anyway. Sorry if you feel it's crap. https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/the_three_parts_of_an_effective_apology

It is possible to have a biological father and a stepfather or adoptive father and have none of them be faggots.

Ok. You got me. It just sounded homo. So no-homo. Next time maybe a preemptive nohomo

While I said it was possible, I left the door open on this situation so we're in a state of superposition between homo and no-homo until observes this comment and a state is locked in.

Who's "everyone". Place is deserted. I'm only here because I'm expendable. They promised me eternal bliss, so how could I say no? (Eternal Bliss Donuts are my fave brand).

Who’s they?

You know, the ephemeral "They". It means something slightly different for all of us, even at different times.

Just to be precise, "They" is not equal to (((They))). I'm not partial to both.
