"Write out what you have to say, and then delete the last sentence" is also a valid translation and solid advice when corresponding over a written medium.

I don't like the idea that people should write stuff to get upvotes. The goal should be communicating your honest thoughts, not trying to please a crowd.
It's not really about the karma-farming aspect of things or pleasing a crowd. It's about, in general, making a statement that's otherwise agreeable and then, often pointlessly, following it up with something backhanded, needlessly obnoxious, mean spirited, racist/xenophobic, or otherwise "not good". You know, basic tactfulness.
A fairly tame example:
Thanks for the invitation, I look forward to learning all about your traditions. I always said you were one of the good ones.
Lol, exactly that.
Don't let my wife see this. She's terrified of becoming nose blind to the smells of our house because our cats were young in our first residence and did piss on things. I have a really bad sense of smell so I'm not much help on that subject.
Fortunately she's befriended someone who doesn't wrinkle their nose when they enter the house, but seems willing to honestly (and kindly) answer when asked.
We have so many literally industrial air fresheners in our house (they came from the now shuttered factory where her parents worked). I wish she didn't have to worry about the smell so much ... The cats still sometimes protest-pee if their litterboxes haven't been cleaned but they've generally mellowed out a lot and our techniques for handling the smell have improved for when there is an issue.
If I could reassure her that our home isn't unpleasant, it would be so wonderful.
immediate edit: I tried hard to make this not sound critical of her. I'm not upset with her for being worried, I just wish she weren't suffering through it. If at any point I sounded angry at her, please know I love her and want her to be happy in her own home.
This is a real thing...

means "Write out what you have to say, and then delete the last sentence"?
Sorry my phone is not letting me write properly in Japanese for some reason.......
Well what if my thesis is actually that whoever I'm replying to is an asshole but I want to soften them up first.
This is a good showcase on why, even if you win, gambling will still drain you. There's plenty of stories of people who hit the jackpot immediately wasting it all hoping for a second jackpot.
which is something i will never understand, because my immediate reaction would be "fucking sweet i'm gonna go find someone who will make me a pizza the size of an entire dinner table, and keep doing so every day the rest of my life"
Maybe the purpose is the effort of digging, rather than what's underground.
That one and the Clamavi de Profundis version are both great. I also like To Erebor by Wind Rose.

In hindsight, life do be like that sometimes
