That seems like a really weird reference, was she talked about recently somewhere?

Edit: Like it seems they did a Britney on her...

The law at the time required full-blooded Indians, black adults, and children who were citizens of Indian Territory with significant property and money to be assigned "well-respected" white guardians.[15]Thus, as soon as Sarah began to receive this windfall, there was pressure to change her guardianship from her parents to a local white resident and family acquaintance named T.J. (or J.T.) Porter.

Easy there LBJ.

Oh . . . can’t. Got a . . thing.

I don't think saying "fuck" was the problem here.

Telling everyone to shut the fuck up is one thing. I think having so remedial a set of communication skills that you, having a position as dispensible as "intern", tell a person you don't know to suck your dick and balls in public is quite another. You can say huff my whole anus when you're a manager, and they need you around.

Depends, no professional setting I've ever worked in has blinked twice at people routinely swearing in the office / workshop.

I mean I still wouldn't get on a zoom meeting with the CEO and tell him to get fucked, but that sort of language between coworkers is totally normal in my experience and not considered an issue at all. If someone calls me a dumb cunt at work, its probably because I was being a dumb cunt. No hard feelings, tomorrow's a new day. Let's try to be a good cunt tomorrow.

The fun part is there's a difference between blasphemy, profanity, swearing, cursing and cussing! Learning the difference can save your professional career!

For example, most people would consider profanity to be completely mundane like invoking Jesus name in vain is profanity. Basically anything religious that doesn't directly go against God, but is God adjacent things.

Saying God damn it would be blasphemy. Blasphemy is just blaspheming against God etc etc.

Cursing would not be saying fuck, but instead it would be saying God damn you or I hope you go hungry. Anything that you wish ill upon another.

Cussing would be saying fuck. This is what most people think of when they think of strong language or pardon my French.

Swearing would be things such as kiss my ass. This is anytime you say something that could be an oath or a promise, but you're taking it in vain or with out the proper respect.

Generally speaking in Western society. Blasphemy profanity cursing and even most swearing are all completely acceptable, even in professional settings.

It's cussing that tend to be the most problematic. Since the former three are basically only in religious context or or otherwise fine if you don't include cussing. And unless you're in a professional religious setting, no one really cares.

Really what it boils down to is don't cuss learn to swear properly. It's a lot more fun!

Yes, I do get it, but also I don't see it as that big of a deal. But then again, I never really understood a lot of social conventions, and think many of them are pointless. Even if I still try to follow them when necessary because that's what expected

But if someone swears like that, I really couldn't care less, and I find it more funny than anything else (especially over-the-top exclamations like the tweets). I think we could use with softening up social conventions a bit

And also, people do curse at my work sometimes, and nobody really cares. But I live in Europe, so maybe it's different

Literally nobody cares besides people who want to suck the soul and passion out of humanity.
