My wife was addressing me foul language every day. Turns out she was reading a magazine called Women Swear Daily.

Well I hope you punched her in the face like a good husband would.

I just did a loud snort-laugh combo in the (quiet) library and everyone looked at me.

What’s wrong with merely having a conversation?

Actually I think it is more like he is a reliable narrator, and everyone else misinterprets it.

I mean read his OP, sounds like playful relationship shit.

I find the very concept of this bizarre, what are these filters you speak of? You realize young people have no concept of filters or privacy right?🙂

There is no need for the smiley face. That would imply that you actually believe young people in fact DO have filters. I do not think that is true.

I have an in-law that posts every sordid detail of her quite messy home life on Facebook. I don’t know why she thinks everyone needs to know that, but everyone gets to hear it anyway. If she isn’t getting enough attention, she posts cryptic remarks such as “Fuck this” (the entirety of her post) and waits for someone to ask her what’s wrong, so then she can post MORE personal dirty laundry on the public washline.
