Couple more optional questions

  • Did the decision bring any change to your life ?
  • Do you feel the decision stopped you from expressing something at some point ?

    I try to avoid it because it dilutes your actual point. They’re filler words, that are sometimes used for actual emphasis, but mostly just said out of habit and really don’t mean anything at all.

    Besides, if you rarely swear, it makes it even more powerful when you actually fucking mean it.

      Fuck no, they are powerful words that can convey emotion better than regular words, to the point where mods will ban you for hurting their feelings.

        When used sparingly, a concisely uttered tactical fuck can he used to lay waste to your enemies and their entire extended family.

        But, like, if you fucking just use it all the fucking time to punctuate your words without any fucking rhyme or reason, people will just think you’ve got nothing to actually fucking say.

        Besides, one can just use the word “very”

          This is it right here. Concerningly large swaths of people talk about swearing like this distinction–which is the whole discussion–doesn’t exist.
