What’s your most controversial opinion?

I tend to see this in a similar vein as the phrase "no offence, but"...

That it's a heads-up that their honesty is likely to hurt. Just as their words are about to offend. So, it's not that they're not usually honest, but that they normally put more tact into their words.

Or maybe I'm just naive.

I use the phrase too. And mostly as you do.

It still irritates me TBH
But I often annoy myself

Side note, you put that into words particularly nicely

I start out those conversations with, “I’m not sure how to say this without sounding like an asshole, so…”

It's often the best way to be! No misunderstandings to waste time on. Rip off the bandaid and mop up the blood.

Erm. Maybe I'm a bit harsher than you...

Hey, men commenting on women's titty pics on here: do you really think it's a compliment to say that all breasts are perfect in their own way? I know you're just trying to curry favor and cast as wide a net as possible in the hopes that one of the gals will answer one of your PMs, but if all breasts are perfect, that also means they're all average, so...

Just sayin'.

It’s weird when people start a sentence “I’ll be honest…”

Does that mean it’s such a rarity that it has to be announced?

It's up there with, "with all due respect". People think that after they say that, they can be as much of an asshole as they want. Then it's, "Hey, I SAID with all due respect!"

With all due respect these guys are just trying to get someone to respond. I think they just throw out a “compliment” hoping someone bites.
It’s the super generic comments and the overly sexual ones that get me. Usually I just figure they don’t have much experience interacting with women and bless their hearts it’s not going to start now.

That's a very generous way to look at it, PG, and I would expect nothing less from you.

So I probably shouldn't mention all the comments like, "Only thing missing in that picture is my (hand, mouth, penis)! " or "You want some help with that? ".

Don’t even get me started on “I’m not being condescending but…”

And there’s the ones who try to sound like a dom/master but somehow sound like they failed the audition for the arch villain in a B movie.

Footnote: there is method in the madness. I used to be on the anonymous confession site Whisper (does that still exist?) and once as an experiment posted something like “It’s hard to find an obedient woman” and got inundated with offers and pics. Unfortunately I just can’t keep up the Lex Luther thing very long.

Medically assisted suicide should be legal for anyone for any reason provided they meet two qualifications:

1. They are at least 18 years old.

2. They are in touch with reality and understand what death is and that death is permanent.

Got long covid? PTSD? Going bald and can't get a date? Think the planet is doomed and just want off early? All valid reasons, here's your suicide pill.

It's perverse that we force people to continue existing when they don't want to.

Spam (The canned meat product) isn't all that bad. Compared to bacon and eggs, spam and eggs would do in a pinch!

I sometimes cut Spam into small cubes and fry it up with potatoes and onions for a side hash with eggs.

Okay! Well! First, while I agree with your sentiment, there's nothing preventing someone from ending it all illegally. So no one is actually being forced to live. Second, I REALLY hope you're not speaking from a position of considering it yourself.

Peaceful illegal methods are difficult to come by. People shouldn't have to use a painful, unreliable method to end their lives when prescription drugs exist that can do the job painlessly.

I am an active member of a pro-suicide forum and have planned my death for years now. I don't have a set date, but when the time comes my method is already prepared and nearby.

You can also shred it on a grater and mix it in with hashbrowns

I do agree. Whilst I understand the genuine concerns on the subject, I think people have a fear that is disproportionate to the reality of the situation.

Re: Spam.

I don't like the texture, with the little weird bits in it. But baloney? Hell, yeah.

Dad would buy a log of baloney and cut inch-thick slices and pan fry them. Good shit.
