Is there some kind of civilization-ending solar flare going on out there? My cable internet is dead and my phone is barely hanging onto 4G. End of the world, I tell you!

It was awesome.

I stood in the wind and rain watching my boy play U18 rugby for Calgary, winning over Mulletville.

Good luck…not an easy position no doubt.

Yes, but the median age on CP is like 41 so how will we protect the innocence of that demographic if we enable swearing?

I find it so weird and borderline creepy that we're so sensored. Words that are in half the songs I listen to, all the shows I watch, every movie I see and every book I read. I don't understand the logic. Not my site, so whatever, but it's really strange.

Isn't this site (and software) like 20+ years old? Makes sense that the software has built in swear filters. People were puritans back then.

20 years ago was a long time in the era of the internet.

I prefer no swearing and the swear filter as is. Discussions feel more civilized.

But you did get to swear. We just don’t see it all. Our minds know though. That’s good enough. By showing it, we would demean ourselves.

Don't worry, a change wouldn't force you to swear. It would just allow everyone to speak how they please.

the transition in goodfellas near the beginning, where they go from henry as a kid to a grown up at the airport is perfection. the music, the shot, its cinematic art.

I wish humans could walk away from puking as confidently and nonchalantly as cats do.
