Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
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.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

I don't curse because I don't like to. But when I do people know something is up and change behavior quick. I like to think my lack of cursing gives undue weight to my cursing.
Think Ned Flanders cursing, you just know something is wrong.
This is the best reason to not needlessly curse. Because once you do, shit's serious
It's kind of the other way around for me. If I get all formal about explaining a situation to someone they know they fucked up big time. If I just say "hey fix this shit" they know that A: it's not that big of a deal and B: I think they're intelligent enough to know what "this shit" is on their own.
I like the opposite: you know it’s serious because I stopped.
