Your yearly reminder that “l learn through suffering” can be translated into Latin as “Disco Inferno”

      Infact we should go out of our way to swear because it’s the fucking advertising companies that pedal the ad friendly, PG internet and if you don’t support that, you’re harming their ability to advertise by swearing.

    • I used to curse when I taught physics, and the students never once flinched. I was “monitored” by a supervisor who said it was highly unprofessional and disrespectful to cuss during lectures… So I quit.

      You’re going to insult my intelligence because I use an empathetic “this is fucking important” instead of a foot stomp? Nah bro.

        Had an english teacher in college use the F word to great effect. He didnt drop it until several lectures in, and made sure to point out how effective it can be if it’s not overused.
