      I’d take it with a pinch of salt:

      Linguists in Australia recently analyzed the Global Web-Based English Corpus (GloWbE), a massive database containing over 1.9 billion words from 1.8 million web pages across 340,000 websites in 20 English-speaking countries.

      Depends on the workplace. At my engineering workplace I regularly hear someone yell “fuck!” or “shit!” when something goes awry. At all my blue collar jobs people cussed like sailors just as long as customers weren’t in earshot.

    it’s only swearing if someone finds it offensive.

    shit for brains authority figures would rather i call them poop for brains. doesn’t really matter that i’m saying there’s 8 pounds of defecate rattling around in their skulls. it matters that i said a no-no word from before the Norman invasion of england in 1066

    That bunch of wankpuffins wouldn’t know proper swearing if it bit them in the bell end. It’s all just motherfucker this and asshole that. The scrote septics have no artistry to their swearing.

      The scrote septics have no artistry to their swearing

      we’ve spent the last several decades or more killing artistry, creativity, imagination-- anything that involves doing something different than what we’re told to do day in, day out by our owners. shareholders. even what should be the top of the pyramid for creativity–hollywood–is fucking garbage anymore. it’s all remakes of shit that’s already been done. sometimes already done multiple times. and the population laps it up like hogs at the trough

      i fucking hate this place

        You ever sit down at home, after a long day of getting shit done and being responsible with work or family, and want to jump into 2 hours of something else entirely new? Or do you do like so many of us and scroll through a streaming catalogue and aspirationally look at the new shows and movies, finding lots of things to watch but nothing that strikes you as being the right thing to watch? Do you ever settle for something good that you know and promise yourself that you will watch something new later? That’s why sequels do so well.

        People are tired and just want to see something comfortable that they know. Lay off sequels. Fix society, make us all not tired, and you will see more new shit.

          i never said remakes were the problem. i never even mentioned sequels. yes, the society that feeds on this garbage is fucked. i’m still going to criticize the garbage, even if it’s just a symptom and not the problem

      My bet is that the rantallion that authored this pile of fetulent drivel only looked for language an American would recognise.
