minus-square@funkless_ecklink2•8 months agoI think the missing context is that when you write with majority negative phrasing, people assume your argument is against it. Consider: “You have to cover apples in sugar and put them in pastry, and then add custard to make me want to consider eating them!” This sounds like you hate apples, not that you like apple pie.
