As posters; we are better than this.
I used to work on Wall St with a bunch of total motherfuckers.
Always yapping about how great Mass was on Sunday, all the black tie charity shit they set up at Westchester Country Club. Come Monday, they had no problems fucking people over, including their own employees.
Great Catholics on Sunday. The other 6 days of the week, they were willing the fuck over their own mother for a fucking buck.
PHKR.
Motherfucking Apple Inc can't design a simple product that JUST WORKS.
I plug in my Pixel to a Win 10 PC? "Would you like to access the files on this device?"
I plug my Pixel into a Win 7 PC? "Would you like to navigate the files n this device?"
I plug my Pixel into a Mac?
Bueller?
Bueller?
OK, no big deal, right? Because I make my bones making Windows work, I just offload the files for my Pixel onto a USB thumb drive, formatted FAT32 and not NTFS because I am nothing if not ecosystem agnostic. Mac can't read the thumb drive.
I had to set up a fucking samba share across the network to get files out of the windows environment onto the Mac! A Mac running the version with a sand dune in the background so I know it's form the last 12 months, not 10 years ago. Can't fucking read a thumb drive!
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
I get home, need to get files off my wife's iPhone. An iPhone 7, should be perfectly serviceable, no? WRONG, I get a "You need a new software download to connect to this device."
Bitch no I don't I can plug this into a Windows box and navigate the file structure and get what I need. Why in god's name do I need new software to hit up a phone that's up. to. date.
I told my wife I will never buy her another apple product. The ones I have in my possession are all received via the means of Free, the only price at which I will consider using iOSux.
For fuck's sake Apple, plugging in a god damned thumb drive is something that even my 70yo+ boomer parents have learned to wrap their heads around. Why are you such fucking trash?
Don't even get me started on trying to browse the internet on an iPhone. I will NEVER buy an iPhone with my own money at this point. And I've migrated all my music back to Wim-Amp, movies to Plex, and I use Amazon music for any new purchases.
End Rant.
At least iMovie is a $1000 piece of software that I got for free on the free Mac I'm typing this on. Need it for the annual family video for the Xmas card.
...a kiss as you're leaving".
Poster is saying I am really right in my views.
but would argue that it is entirely called for there....especially after barely winning a game after being a 17 point favorite and having 3 turnovers in the red zone.
I'm not better than that and typed my swear words freely back there.
Yours truly,
Another copious RR swearer
At some point I believe posters are/were cautioned about entering the room.
Well, I do. So fuck him and fuck you too.
that’s cleaner than a bar of soap.
Absolutely fucking perfect.
Anything that disappeared after I posted it was the result of my own decision to delete it.
so congrats to us. Science provided it motherfucker.
There’s a time and place for sweating. Including on this bored. But common reliance on coarseness to express one’s self generally comes from ignorance and misplaced self-assuredness.
Of antecedent evidence potentially impacted by personal bias.
There have been over a dozen studies that have shown that people with higher IQs are significantly bigger swearers.
People who swear have also been shown to be more successful, not less, have significantly stronger language skills and higher vocabularies, are more likely to know a foreign language, tend to be better educated and have higher happiness levels.
Other studies have also found that people who swear more are more likely to be telling you the truth--potty mouths are more honest apparently.
Those studies likely aren't particularly useful in making conclusions about people that come from the same demographics. And all those studies are couched in "might" because they're not particularly robust and suffer from all sorts of problems in cross-checking factors. This seems like an odd topic to be emotionally invested in. Could some of those things be true? Sure. Maybe. But these studies are likely less useful in making conclusions than studies on nutrition science.
To say nothing of the fact that IQ is not a particularly compelling measure of the value of a person.
So many cultural factors need to be controlled for (including definingwhat a swear word is) is a fool's errand. But it makes people feel good about their lack of decorum. Good to know the Romper Room on game day is where all the smartest folks post.
The directness and candor displayed there a little much for your disposition?
You prefer your aggression to be a lot more passive?
Can’t stand not being able to play cop?
I'll make sure to leave all my kids and strollers at home!
being in favor of more profanity on the board to prove we aren’t mouth breathers since science says what your headline states.
Fuck yeah, coming again to save the motherfucking day yeah!
"No loud cussin' or yer out!"
of taking Ibuprophen prior to having my hips replaced. The medical term is Ibuprofanity.
caused his colorfully foul language.
directed at baby boomers.
I thought Potato House had won the revolution
Especially on Rock's House.
Bonus points if you curse Kelly and Swarbrick in the same post.
wait, sorry....what were we talking about?
Because I can’t remember who said that first or why
Probably about joining a conference or something
and giving that coach discretion upon what types of kids to get through admissions.
However, it is quite poor etiquette and a violation of board rules to include profanity in the Subject.
Shittin' rocks.
