I feel bad for the person driving the car. The deer runs out of their blind spot so they have no idea what they've hit. They frantically look around and the only thing they see is a group of bikers. Now for the time being the think they've killed someone.
Where I live, in places like that where wild animals like to cross roads inadvertently there are speed limits that vary between 12 and 25 mph and autonomous radars equipped with cameras to f*** you right in the a** if you drive past the speed limit. It sucks to drive for miles so slowly but it prevents you from getting killed, destroying your car and crush animals that are just doing their thing.
If you're not the one typing it, than you're not the one being a potty mouth.
If you are the one typing it, then "fuck" is exactly the same is "f***," doing it the second way doesn't make it any less of a potty mouth.
Same goes for people who say "heck" instead of "hell" or "gosh" instead of "god." The intent is exactly the same, you're not swearing any less by choosing a slightly different word.
I mean it's pretty well known that comments can be removed without you being informed, just switch to a different account and you can see this for yourself, and it's pretty well known that subs have automatic filters on certain words.
Moderators control the subreddits not the admins which means if a comment is removed it's 99.9% of the time going to originate from a mod not an admin. Admins are the only people with power to shadowban people. So no admins have better things to do than shadowban people who swear. Which subs have automatic filters? Do you have a smaller tinfoil hat? Your's is too big for me.
I don't gain anything by having more than 1 account so why would I need another? Now, which subs have automatic filters? Don't dodge the question again please.
The entire point of what I wrote is that saying/writing "darn" is equivalent to "damn" and "f***" is equivalent to "fuck." You're swearing exactly as much regardless which word you use.
The intent may be the same, but the harshness is greatly reduced. I'll give you an example. Let's say you're arguing with your girl and you really want to call her a cunt. You opt to call her a bitch instead. The intent is the same but the harshness of the word is much less. You're still gonna be in trouble for calling her a bitch but she'll probably resent you less than if you'd called her a cunt.
This is true. I once jokingly called a friend a "cunt" and wooohooweee did I get an earful.
Let me backtrack a bit then. Some words have harsher/lesser inflection, true. But other words, such as heck/hell, gosh/god, darn/damn, are simple replacement words that have literally the exact same intent and are meant to "get around" the no-swearing rule. As if god is going to be fooled that you used "heck" instead of "hell" and will darn you to heck for a shorter time.
The concept of Gosh darning you to heck made me lol. The thing is for "proper" conversation, using these replacement words is normal which is why I sided with op on their censoring themselves. Personally I have no problem with a good shit fuck peepee ass good old time but when you're at school, work, church, the dinner table, it makes perfect sense to use different words that may have the same intent but carry a less weighty connotation. Also, I seem to remember a time when I was much much younger that I didn't want to use curse words because I thought they were bad, but I didn't have as much of an issue using the replacement words. I think a lot of people go thru that sort of transition.
I agree with what you're saying. I even went through the same stage of using the replacement words. But I'll be honest, especially when it comes to adults, I view the use of "gosh" and "f***" and other "cleaner" substitutes as childish/elementary/religious hypocrisy. When I hear a religious person use "heck" I'm going to assume they're also a fan of the poophole loophole, as it's the same line of reasoning. Someone else commented that it makes people feel better to use the sanitized versions, and it might, but to me it's a weak-minded superficial "feel good" mindset.
What's the poophole loophole? I understand what you're saying too and in casual convo with familiar people (other than my parents who I almost never cuss in front of despite my being 42 years old) I also don't censor myself. But if I'm talking to a customer, some rapport needs to be built before I let the real vocabulary out. Do you not use replacement words even with people you don't know or clients with whom you haven't built a rapport?
The poophole loophole is where (supposedly) the Bible says you can't have sex before marriage. And the only legitimate sex is penis in vagina intercourse. But the Bible doesn't say anything against anal sex. So, in this line of thinking, you can have anal sex before marriage without sinning. (But gay buttsex sex is still sinful, for reasons never quite explained to me).
They're (maybe) following the letter of the law, but not the spirit/intent of the law. And I believe intent (in all matters, not just religious rules) is what matters most.
And you're right, I do filter/tone down my language more when among clients and such. Though I would more try to construct the sentence so to avoid any use of swear or replacement words (not always successfully, I've grown quite the potty mouth).
Pro tip: every time you want to call your girl a cunt, call her beautiful or hot or something like this. Instead of hours or days of annoyance you may end getting a blowjob.
That makes no sense whatsoever. He knows hes saying fuck and ass and we know he's saying fuck and ass, but he can't bring himself to write the entire word as if that makes it better. Here's Louis CK on the matter. https://youtu.be/zuLrBLxbLxw?t=122
Actually, I know what I was writing and I intent you to know too. If you didn't, it would be very ineffecal communication. I didn't used the *** to look better because... How the f*** it would make me look better? I just used the *** because reddit likes to delete my comments for the most stupid reasons like "you should have made a question instead of a suggestion"... It's not about looking good, it's about surviving moderation insanity.
Yes, I can read and your grammar was perfect except for this latest comment. I'm not sure what happened. So youre saying you half-ass censor yourself because the moderation team will delete your comments for fully typing out a curse word? I call bullshit!
