So I cussed at another person today...

Swearing actually comes from a different part of the brain than language. So sister euginia was wrong. If you curse its actually an outburst of emotion. Its got nothing to do with words and you can actually replace common swearwords with any words and use them in the same fashion. Hence why people just use less obscene versions and they still work for them.

...and she was even more wrong.

It seems that maybe swearing is actually a sign of greater intelligence

I'm not good at cursing. In 6th grade, Sister Euginia drilled into me "If you have curse, it just shows you're not intelligent enough to come up with the proper word to express yourself."

That kinda stuck with me. So, years later, this is literally how I sound when I try to curse:

That's sometimes how I sound when I'm working on a car only to discover a previous owner's creative engineering, and occasionally even factory engineering...

Next time just yell, "Stop touching my junk" and move away.

Got my own natural version of coke, been dealing with a thing called Hypomania and well yeah fun. Almost 2 weeks and the best sleep was 4 hours once. Lost prob like 10 pounds as it just causes my body anxiety and with that lack of appetite. I had to stop my edibles for my back cause i am so wired indica BARELY calms me. Fun thing is this thing can last months.

Wait a minute... Cocaine is extracted from Coca leaves using various methods, so what do you mean by your own natural version of coke?

I have to admit I start to lose my shit a little whenever anyone gets their fingers near my monitors or HDTV. I only occasionally run a plain duster across them otherwise I leave them alone and it's a system that has worked for me. Keep your grubby hands off my freakin' screens.

I also would freak out if some random stranger tried to touch my phone with covid-19 and the flu floating around.

I don't think I've had a situation where someone touched my shit uninvited. I'm guessing this guy has a mental issue of some kind?

I don't think that I've ever sworn at someone in anger as an adult.

And I'm pretty fucking sweary.

Done so many, many times. But I'm pretty sure it's never been in a situation when they could actually hear me.

Yeah i got the fun symptoms too. I am thinking vegas . Yeah i never heard of it but now i have. I got so fed up with backpain a few days ago ,i ate a entire 100mg kushkie punch indica pack and well amazingly that worked a bit to well. Put me on my ass for 3 damn days. Had half of one a few days before and that barely worked, usually for sleeping and my back i top out at like 40mg but typically do good on 10mg.

Yeah i am working on stuff and with it messing with my anxiety, i keep on losing weight it seems so i found one positive. I always look for the positives in a negative and well losing the weight is nice. Hard to work on machines as every other one triggers pain or aches. The diet i can work on and have been though. I do find myself walking a bunch to burn excess energy but my heart races like a marathon man with the slightest movements.

Friend of mine who did more coke then Tony Montana made a reference to her coke experience and me. So yeah that's why i had to comment. I never touched anything outside of beer or weed in my entire life. So if this is that "coke experience" is up for debate but i thought it was kind of funny to compare to. I thought i was being deliberately drugged i swear, till i did my research.

Well since he is a Chestnut Health System client and Chestnut Housing Resident as well, that would be a very reasonable assumption to make.

However do not even ask me what his mental issue as I don't even, and would not tell you what it is out of respect for his privecy as I highly value my own.
