    I am surprised no one yet has posted the infuriatingly worthless expression of affectless sympathy:

    thoughts and prayers

      As a nonnative speaker, the first time I heard the expression was on Bojack Horseman and it confused the hell out of me.

      I agree most of the time, but when I have to sign a sympathy card at work for someone i barely know, what the hell am i supposed to say?

      I can’t change the work culture so i just say something generic like that most of the time lol

      Btw I’m not even religious
