ah yes, the ole "studies have shown"

That's a sound argument, the people actually taking the time to read the book would probably be smarter than someone who didn't

I need to know the sample size of the study, how it was conducted, etc

cuz academia totally isnt corrupted

But also, artificially restricting your dialogue also restricts you conversational intelligence

peer reviewed academia is corrupted unfortunately

how does it restrict anything? you can still express anger without sounding like a sailor

Maybe it's because I'm an autistic retard, but I never got the concept of swearing. Why is is more acceptable to say you're having sex with someone rather than saying you're fucking them? Or more acceptable to say that you're using the rest room rather than say "I'm taking a shit"?

@Kinky Kitsune (Coomer) I was hoping that was an Epstein meme, and now I'm disappointed

https://youtu.be/U1pg49xB6VM this guy did the study

lol 161 views

Because by the time tedx was accepting actual science, everyone had already just started ignoring them

"too stupid to think of a better word" this guy must be trolling

skimming through the video, no study was actually provided, no sources, nothing

unless you want to give me a timestamp, it's not worth my time to sift through it

Disappointing, he is the one who ran the stuby tho. I linked the vid because I figured himself talking on the subject would include the study. Let me see if I can refind they original papers

from the video description: "Richard Stephens will present the numerous positive outcomes of swearing."

@Gustavus Adolphus is a pedo enabler

*outcomes*

ok that's hilarious

LOL

Quote from bottom of page 6: "These were 29 adults aged 18-25 years (mean age 21.0 years, SD 1.84) including 18 females."

29 adults

very convincing lol

also that is a very narrow age group

One might argue that "artificially restraining word choice" *improves* functional language.

What amemw

yes, particularly in the area of comedy

It's not like there are *that* many swears.

let's face it, swear words are funny

so family friendly comedians have to improvise

I think it's impressive

Even in generalized conversation for that matter.

@Laucivol Afternoon buddy!

Nah, still 'morning. @SufferBuddy XD

ya I'm pretty sure NPC was trolling, the study he sourced seems ridiculous

I've been working for 6 hours already. xD

10 more to go.
