Person x: Donald Trump is the greatest presidential candidate ever!

(A certainly unpopular opinion except in specific interpretations)

Person y: in a sense, that's true!

I just watched It Follows, which was pretty good but I kept having hosed up thoughts about where the plot either was going to go or should be going so in comparison the movie was quite tame compared to the things I was thinking.

Yeah, I felt like it was an amazing premise with so-so execution. Horror films!

in a sense is a viable shorthand for taking a statement that could reasonably be interpreted in ways different than intended and drawing attention to them

Perhaps this is lost on non native speakers

so how could 'thats true' be interpreted in ways different than intended? You mean, it could be interpreted as you actually thinking that its true, when you intended people to know that you dont actually think its true?

It also annoyed me how her arm was broken and in a cast, but after she got in the water and it was soft she was putting all of her weight on it when she was crawling to the edge of the pool.

I heard that weasel words might be useful for scum. Some argue that it is one of the best ways to avoid detection because, in a sense, it prevents you from committing on an issue. In my experience, this fact often seems true. I believe that wishy-washy language might be helpful in some instances.

Man, I posted in the last thread 374 times, and I showed up way late. I'm not going to end up a top contender, but I imagine I'll have plenty of useless posts going forward.

It is pretty easy to find any show streaming for free. I'm sure it's also available on Amazon.
