    There is a reason why most of my advice is phrased "If you are concerned about X...you may want to consider doing Y." It's not because I just love using a bunch of extra words.

            Keep the potato chip, though; chips are delicious

                  @evacide more of a belief in causation of events 😉

                    @lawyersgunsnmoney @evacide apparently a lot of people use words as if they’re part of some secret code rather than having standard meanings. I suppose it’s like “virtue signaling”, but applying that sort of indirect interpretation to absolutely everything. I think that’s how some people end up making completely absurd arguments in court; they think if they say the right “signals” the court will rule in their favor. I can’t imagine living that way
