That is just false. What an unjust claim.
The only words we need are 1 and 0—everything else is a concession to intelligibility.
All we need is 1. Unary forever.
careful, you don’t want to get a unary tract infection
Yup. It makes it hard and painful to

Are you just saying that or do you have something to back up the claim? Is it just and proper for you to decide this?

Imagine you’re at a restaurant. The waiter asks what you want to order.
“I want a glass of water,” leaves open the possibility of wanting other things. The waiter will wait for more information.
“I just want a glass of water,” indicates a desire for water exclusively. The waiter will serve you a glass of water and hand you the bill.
Two completely different meanings and outcomes, differentiated entirely by the word “just”.
There, I just told you two good ways to use the word.
“It costs ten dollars.”
A flat statement of fact, with no tone.
“It costs just ten dollars.”
Changes the tone of the sentence, adding the implication that ten is not a lot.
These are not the same sentence.
There’s a difference between justice and fairness. Justice isn’t always equal.
The internet points are even more meaningless on Lemmy. The up/down votes are not totaled as ‘your karma.’ You do not need to try to obfuscate your posts. Just let it go and move on.

Just wondering.
The polite padding does have meaning. It specifies the person is ONLY wondering and not also judging, or accussing, or assuming. That is to say, just is very explicitly specifying that wondering is to be understood as a pure wondering, in its most literal definition with any emotional or social or situational valences stripped.
“I just want to…”
Strip just and you remove a sense of exclusivity
“I want to…” Does not imply a lack of interest in other things
Exchange it in most cases though and you extend the exclusivity to a global sense
“I only/specifically/singularly want to…”
Gives a sense of unique universal purpose rather than a simple specific task of the moment
Your last paragraph concedes its usefulness 🤔
What is just? What is fair? What is right? What is good?
