Things you wish you could say

But that's what PC actually is! It used to be called Polite. Then people decided being polite and considering others feelings was something to put down, so they invented a label they could use with a sneer.

If you believe in the Golden Rule then you are PC and that's totally cool and the way we all should have been taught to behave.

There's plenty of ways to speak one's mind without being inconsiderate. It helps to have a good vocabulary and a creative mind, like you do. But the most essential ingredient is an empathetic heart, which you also have.

Thank you so much, Roses, you don't know what that means to me.

I don't think PC is anything like being polite.

P = Politically C = Correct
Some times that is just good manners - sometimes it is clap trap.
In case you can't tell I got the memo, spent the 1st 30yrs of my life trying it out - tore it up and have much more enjoyed the 2nd 30+yrs

If you watch videos or read statements where people mention PC, they are always putting someone else down. They never use the term while saying something polite.
It's used to deflect responsibility for objectionable speech onto the hearer rather than the speaker.
It's an artifice, created for manipulation.

Done. Don't say I didn't warn you. The original recipe is based on Molly Yeh's Challah bread recipe, but she would not recognize it now!

OMG we watch Molly Yeh every weekend, love her! Thank you

Very well put.

This is literally something I wish I could say, but I'm not eloquent enough to!

Wish I could say it's not almost 90° here already!

You're at "almost" ?

Care to swap?

Wish I could say that I reached my goal on my project, but I'm way behind. It also got a lot harder, which means I should put in more time, but the garden and other seasonal things are sucking up my time.

Depends. What's your humidity? Ours is "only" 63% right now but it's often 100%. With lightning, thunder, hail, high winds and, oh, yeah - the occasional tornado. Still wanna swap?
