    I have begun entirely rejecting bullshit mantras that begin with “Sometimes”.

    “Sometimes” is dismissive self-justifying word salad. Give a confident, circumstances-based ideology, or shut the fuck up.

      Never really thought of the effect that “sometimes” has on a sentence, but now I see your point. God dammit, I think you’ve infected me with your knowledge. I hope the “sometimes” cop-out is not as wide spread as I fear…

        It’s 80% of the mantras of villains in fictional media. “Sometimes babies must be killed etc etc”.
