I grew up in a trailer park and was basically taught to cuss from walking age. I eventually put that away for most contexts in my professional world, but I let it out mainly just on Nostr or in front of my husband lol. You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl. If you don't like cuss words, I politely recommend that you go fuck yourself. But then, quite honestly, have a lovely evening. ;) People who can't handle cuss words, even in certain contexts like Nostr, amuse me. It's basically an advertisement that they're fucking soft and out of touch. I use those words even more now to make a point. It's inappropriate when someone can't rein in cuss words in a professional context. But I would argue that it's similarly inappropriate when an adult is too weak to hear cuss words in an unprofessional context. If they can't handle that, there's a lot of more real stuff that they won't be able to handle either. image

As an aside, this is why while I might have certain disagreements with Greg Foss, I ultimately like him. That's a hard fucking man right there. He has seen some shit and wants to fix some shit.

When our son was about three he had a toy truck and would say “Mama, mama, ‘is truck goes FUCKIN fast!!” Me: “Oh! You mean it goes REALLY REALLY fast!” He: “No! It goes FUCKIN fast” Me: “Ah, you mean it goes CRAZY fast!” He: “NO, ‘at’s NOT the same fing!! ‘Is truck goes FUCKIN fast!!” Crazy part is I literally have no idea where he learned that.. we didn’t start cussing in front of him till years later 😂

I follow you because you're real. My life has been, at your best, the same.
Did anyone else grin ear to muhtha fuken ear when she cussed? Well, if you didn’t, you should’ve
Freedom of speech is a fundamental right that allows individuals to express themselves, including using language that some may find offensive. While it's crucial to be mindful of professional settings, embracing diverse expressions, even in casual platforms like Nostr, highlights the importance of non-censorship. It's a reminder that the ability to tolerate differing forms of communication is a strength, reflecting a society open to diverse perspectives.
Smaller, more self-selected audience, at least for now. I don’t just want to repost Twitter stuff here. I like to talk about other stuff here. I want Nostr to grow. I use it as more of my aside thoughts.
This is great. DM work for you to setup a date that works?
First Option : Next Friday 6:30EST on Nostr Nest. Second Option : Friday December 8th 6:30EST on Nostr Nests. Otherwise, we would more than willing to step outside our regular scheduled program to make this show happen. 😍
On balance, I think it's a sign of weakness. It's good to have a suite of words that you exercise discipline in not saying. Yes, they can help vent pain or stress, but there are other ways to do this, that don't vocalise ones suffering in a manner that gets passed on to others. Hyper-sensitivity to words is not good. Nor is using language that is, in many cases, designed to get a rise out of others..
Interesting. I swore a lot in high school but decided more dignified language was better as I read the Bible more. I went to a football game yesterday and passed a mom on the phone walking with two kids around 5-8 and heard her use the D and F word, and was sad for those kids. I don’t think we need 5 year olds familiar with swear words. I haven’t sworn in several years now, maybe 5, and since 2010 maybe less then 10 out loud swear words. My goal is for my kids to never hear me swear. I heard my dad do it a fair bit, my mom rarely. Now, before I go getting attacked, I tolerate swear words both at work and with other random people, but the more someone swears, the less inclined I am to continue to hang out with them. I like to hang out with people that are intentional and trying to become better, people with self control, and people that respect others, and good language ticks all boxes to me. That said, i don’t mind biblical swears much (A, D, H word). I am a fan of Lyn, I’m a fan of Foss and he swears a lot. But does it make me cringe? Yes. Sometimes I want to share something with my wife but won’t due to language. Anyway, big fan Lyn, and at the same time a big fan of James chapter 3. Thoughts become words, words become actions. I found it much easier to not swear when I changed to music that doesn’t swear - that’s another reason I like Linkin Park, little to no swearing on albums but still hard rock. To me it’s all about being fully intentional and in control of my speech in a way that respects other people at all times. Or, let the content of the speech offend (differing opinion), but not the delivery (crude words)

"cause if I can't smoke and swear, I'm fucked"
I like to define my own professional context. I'd you can't handle me saying fuck, as long as it's not directed at you, then I don't wanna work with you.
I love it! I grew up in a very different, "churchy" environment, being taught that some words were "bad". Friends at school would hold their language back for my sake, and while I appreciated their efforts to be considerate, I also wished they hadn't done that to themselves. It never bothered me when other people used those words, and it still doesn't, but using them myself has always seemed... unnatural. 😅 Kinda like Shia LaBeouf's character in "I, Robot". Now as an adult, and a dad, I've taught my kids that certain words are "spicy", but not bad. Just as you wouldn't put cayenne pepper on a cookie, you wouldn't use certain strong, spicy words in ordinary conversation. But, there are times for spicy words.
