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

I like "I'm sorry you're retarded and wrong but there is nothing I can do about that."

That's better! Reminds me of all the bosses I ever had (And my two dads).

Did everyone just gloss over you said you have two dads. What is this faggot shit.

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

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).
