LOL ... I wasn't offended by it. Often times reading a response as opposed to hearing it in person loses meaning and intent.

I like the Chris Pratt "kid swearing rules: Swearing is ok if Mom's not around. (Generally expanded to all Women and Girls.)
Also, cussing helps get through pain. That's a fact.

As it pertains to kids, on the rare occasion I heard my dad swear, I knew I was in deep trouble. It's like salt: if you use it sparingly it can be effective. Use it liberally and it corrosive and damaging. (Perhaps that's why they call it "salty" language?)
I generally don't curse... even when hanging out with the guys. Part of it is at a young age I used to work with kids (camp counselor, religous ed instructor, etc.) and cursing them out was a no no, even back then. I learned to hold my tounge. Think it but don't say it.
Currently I curse, of all places, at work. Strange I know. Not so much in the office, but in the shop or the field, I regress a bit. Filter comes off and my inner monolgouge becomes audiable.
In any event, I'm not easily offended. I've heard it all. Curse away if that's your thing.

Not that it's my thing. I feel like it's using words that were created and meant to be effective at getting a message across. Email our architect yesterday and just asked how the final plans are going, we just paid you $2k and are in a bit of urgency mode to get this moving. And maybe I read too much in his response, but I said I'm not pissed, but just wanted to communicate we're going on a trip for spring break and want this wrapped up.
I generally never swear AT people if that makes sense. I just use it in dialogue and writing. I use it frequently but words like hipster are more offensive to me when directed at me. There are others as well.

There is more scientific evidence to back that up than there is for the covid jabs.

Phrases I liberally use are like the following:
"Eat a sack of shit" or sometimes the modified "Eat a bag of dicks" and "Fuck your mom"
But since I've moved out of CA back to TX I don't think I've had to say that even one time the past 5 months.

I wonder if that's why swearing became taboo. Because swearing when you weren't in any stress, is like a false alarm, or crying Wolf when there is no threat.
That would be the only reason I can think of. because there are reserved swear words in every culture. Even some cultures with pretty tame swear words compared to our pallet of salty words. Cubans call someone a variation of Egg, that can also be interpreted as one testicle. huevón. Though they use it like calling someone an asshole or a jerk.

I just got told by a friend that's a girl she's going to "kick on my dick" via text. Lol. Typo on her end.
Got in a mini argument over running. I'm like our ligaments are generally the same. She's 110 and I'm 220. Who the fuck do you think is going to be more sore after running? Playing sports? Just walking? I am. She didn't want to buy it. I told her to throw two 45lbs plates in a backpack for 20 years and get back to me. Just giving her shit, but I'm right.

I am not offended by swearing
However, I assume the person to be 10-20 IQ points lower than if they would have made the same point without swearing.

I totally disagree depending on the circumstance of the discussion. Just saying "you're a fucking idiot" is not intelligent, so I agree there. But if you're into comedy they do it the best. Bill Burr has been recent influence and is very much like me. He's a pretty intelligent dude and swears constantly. The biggest individual podcaster in history Joe Rogan always swears. You don't make $100M being a dummy. Hell, Elon Musk swears somewhat frequently and he's throwing rockets into space and legit competes with legacy car makers.
I'd agree though that white trash, ghetto blacks, aren't helping how people perceive them by swearing. They would benefit to cut it back.

Actually I consider Comedians that can do a side splitting comedy set without using cuss words, far superior to any potty-mouthed comedian. Now I'm not talking about tame lame Dad jokes here. The best clean comedians, are excellent story tellers, the humor is in the delivery of their story. Rather than just dry anecdotal humor. You would have a hard time finding a mainstream HBO comedy special staple that is consistently funnier than James Gregory.

I'm an angry person, but it's weird, I never get in physical fights, I just swear a lot. I've deescalated multiple random fights between others in public settings. The only time in my adult life I put hands on someone it was tossing my SIL into a bookshelf on vacation. She was drunk and out of line. That's the nephew we took in and I let my emotions get the better of me. Being me, I knew she wasn't supposed to be out of state because of her probation so I chucked her. Basically she couldn't call the cops so I put her in her place.
Needless to say there's more respect now. She knows I can be just as crazy as she is. Plus I'm taking care of her kid. Show some fucking respect for christ sake. My wife is gone 60+ days a year. I'm this kids dad at this point. Do not mouth off at me. We're good now for the most part. She's just a binge drinker and those are the types that cause issues. If I'm in party mode it's two beers an hour if that. No shots. No mixed drinks. She should drink Michelob Ultra or some low calorie light beer. You get full and generally can't get drunk drunk if that makes sense.
Tangent aside, fuck her... lol. Not literally, though she is one of the two SIL's I'd fuck if I wasn't married to my wife.

The reason I like it is because it makes people squirm. I don't think it's appropriate in front of kids, but I still do it. Remember I'm not religious or generally care about people's feelings. I don't want to purposely mess with people, but I will use words I know mess with their head. We're soft as a society if I'm being honest. Calling people out for their shit and swearing is effective in my opinion.
For example, dude you're being a fucking idiot, knock it off. (not you 10#) That's substantially more effective than, hey, you're not being a nice person. At least that's my experience. With comedians they're literally calling out and making fun of the audience they're entertaining. I think being offensive if awesome. Not hurtful, but swear words are effective with that. Some are thin skinned and that shows a weakness in my opinion.

Not appropriate for kids, but I do swear in front of mine. Never got the dreaded call from the school and we know multiple parents that have about their kids swearing. So we're training them to use their swear words appropriately and at the right time. And I'm not joking when I say that. Our kids know the hammer comes down hard if they get in trouble.
With the fatherhood thread currently it had me intrigued. They're going to learn the words and quickly now with internet. I'm of the thought that I'd rather they know them and how and when it's okay to use the words.
Our car was egged in Duluth, MN. My then 9 year old son proceeded to scream "you mother fuckers" as loud as he could. My wife and I laughed. He wasn't wrong. With the fatherhood thread, pre-teen boys especially I'm in uncharted waters. I think I'm doing it right but I know change is coming. I think the dad sex (not with me) conversation is coming. I've known people with kids that impregnated a 13 year old. I want my kids to know that thing in your pants is a loaded gun that can change your life forever.
I don't know how I got to this point in my own post, but fuck it. Thoughts?
