pizza sucks

A lot of people have been apologizing to me lately, I can’t say I really understand why. They apologize, give speeches, and speak words. Why is everyone apologizing? Why do they care if they hurt me or people? Do they want to feel better? Why am I supposed to absolve people of their regret?

Does this happen to everyone else? Do people constantly apologize to you? Are you Canadian? What does it mean to be ‘sorry’ in 2020... Please share your experiences and guilt. What do apologies mean to you. This is a thread to consider the concept of an apology. ‘sorry not sorry’.

i'm just sick of all the s**t OP. as a matter of principle i will no longer say the "sorry" word to show the world canadians can "Stand On Guard For Thee" and get rude with the best of them. apologising is for the birds.

They want you to consent by accepting an apology.

In theory an apology is an acknowledgement that you know you did wrong and will work to make amends and prevent it from happening again.

In reality it means that you got caught and you wish you hadn't, and while you don't regret what you did and will probably do it again, you wish the other party wasn't being such a bitch about it.

There has to be a "look" when they say it. A little eyebrow tilt. Kinda hard to describe tbh. Some people are good at faking it so be careful

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

I find it is a good policy to apologize a lot

perhaps even an amount incommensurate to how often I gently caress up

I say sorry in real life all the time because I know dealing with me is a trying experience and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

On the internet though? :dealwithit:

Not a good policy though, the more you apologize the more people think you are a total fuckup. Just barrel ahead and crush the belligerents thru sheer willpower, it's the only way

I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.
