"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Articles linked in the story above:Go ahead. Drop that F-bomb. You’ll be happier for it. A new study finds that swearing can be good for you, according to the Daily Mail.
This is from the same research team that discovered swearing allows you to withstand pain for a longer period of time. The claim spread all over the web, leading the Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters” to try it out themselves. [see video in link]
That’s not all. A 2012 study, again done by a team of British researchers, showed that swearing at work can help you build better relationships, reported Business Insider.

Speaking of swearing, this made me laugh out loud several times!
What It's Like to Own a Tesla Model S
"It handles like a Ferrari that got porked by a luck dragon."
"I want an app that makes race car noises as I accelerate. And maybe, just maybe, unlockable achievements. You just went an entire year without honking the horn. Congrats on not being a dick!"
"Consumer Reports awarded the Model S 99 stars out of a possible 100. I am awarding my Model S 100 stars, two black holes, five supernovae, and an ever-expanding singularity of engorged Luck Dragons and wooo- shit -yeahs."
Because I'm a fan."
"Sometimes I just call it 'I'm in outer space, motherf***er" because that's my favorite thing to scream at other drivers whilst passing them on the freeway."
:rofllol

If the words are starred, it's because you need to protect your lily white ass from itself! lol

Yeah, the first sentence of each post is displayed on the Home Page with the link to the thread, and I figured I'd be a better, more responsible role model just in case a word that is normally starred out isn't when being displayed on the front page.
Back to being a f***in scurvy dog.
