Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

When I curse, maybe 98% of the time the reason is just making something I say funnier (or trying to make anyway).
Maybe 3% of the time when I curse because there's something awful going on, I use the f-word.
I need to be reeeallly pissed to slip that one out!
.
EDIT:
I once heard about a research. Two guys had their hand put in ice. The other one swore lots, the other one less often.
They learned that the person who curses less often gets to release more stress through cursing than the other.
What about the other -1% of the time?
Confusing, eh?
98 out of 100 curses would be to make something more funny.
Now take that 2 that are left. From THAT 2% left, I use the f-word maybe in 3 out of 100 cases 😁
.
So, in the end, the chance of an f-word would be something closer to 0,06% (if I did my math correctly)
Yeah, you did the math right.
But I'm MURICAN 💪🦅🍔🇺🇸🔫🎆🏈🚛 so it's 0.06%
