When a person curses, it's a direct indication that they are thinking on a lower, more reactive, more emotional level.


The site owner has another site with some pretty good linux/bash tutorials. Props where it's deserved.

Generally I don't like this kinda faux-intellectual and antagonistic writing. Reading this makes me pull out technical jargon or fancy words from my vocabulary like weeds. They use the term coomer which I haven't seen in years. They mentioned an undergrad in econ somewhere, maybe that's what give the boon of confidence?

Anyone else think they may have become sorta like this if things were different? I think that may have happened to me if I was less caring of others... and more hateful of others instead of hateful of myself (still working on that!)


Something interesting is the casual usage of psychology as an explanation, usually where the reason why someone or some people do a thing is because of a keen insight of the writer, where, what people self-report is untrue and what is inferred is true.

They also talk about conspiracy a ton for some reason.

The kinds of thinking really go all around, it really confuses me as how said folk manage to create a coherent understanding. The easy answer is maybe they don't, and I might be inclined to agree, I'd like to try and have a dialogue to see how their brains work.

    These types tend to think that statements like "cursing is giving in to animalistic instincts" are self evident truths of the universe - essentially claiming that only animals have emotional responses to anything, and that humans are special in their ability to view things impartially. These same people also get very defensive when you call them a fucking idiot, and then mad when you call out their "animalistic instincts".

      Yea where do you draw the line.

      Curses aren't all about strong emotions and all words about strong emotions aren't curses.

      I'd love to hear the author square that you can't say anything that is a result of animalistic instincts and why its ok to tell somebody you love them.
