  • I don’t think that swear words and swearing are part of some regional culture, I think they’re part of culture at a universal level. Or even multiversal if you’re into that…

    And they are normalized, have been from the start. It’s the attempt at excluding them that’s been struggling on and off.

    Hell, I still remember old ladies frightening children with priests cutting off their tongues for swearing, which is all kinds of fucked up in itself. But that was “normal” for them at the time.

    I’d think that kind of behaviour would mess up communication styles more than someone using a vulgarity as an exclamation point.


  • You also need a third, unbiased source, then cross-reference the information gathered from all sides and build a reasonable conclusion.

    But if that’s too much work, then join the side that benefits you. After all…

    ~ Genghis Khan"

    Or the abridged version:

    “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”

    ~ Conan the Barbarian, as copy-pasted from random website





  • They are, but your therapist might have a contract obliging them to recommend it for the purpose of obtaining large amounts of money. Being a therapist only pays well if your patients are rich fucks with daddy issues.

    Also, there’s a small chance that even though your fears are on point, your therapist might consider it better for you mentally to keep calm and get bent than to maintain a constant state of fear and anxiety. I hear the latter is bad for the heart.
