  • Some people can’t turn off their inner monologue?

    Apparently not. I struggled with that as a kid and I remember having some sleepless nights when my head would be yapping nonstop. Then one day I learned to stop it.

    But I mostly remember this in threads where people on either side of the inner monologue vs no inner monologue discussions discover the opposite exists. And so I’m like, what, you guys can’t just turn it on or off? I’ve concluded that we must be in the third group looking on, who can do either at will.

    Most places in the theocratic kleptocracy of Magastan, I assume; a few places (or circumstances) in the civilised world

    Places including IRL and online spaces. Anywhere, from businesses and public chats to online videos. Quite a lot of media we consume also needs to be swear-free and that rubs off. It’s no coincidence “unalive” and “grape” have become a thing on TikTok and elsewhere. There’s a surprising amount of censorship around us. And even if it’s not a written rule, it’s generally frowned upon to curse. I don’t know of a place that encourages cursing but an overwhelming number that discourage it.

    Using most of the word but censoring one of the letters, however, is so utterly stupid and hypocritical that it’s insulting both to the readers and the writer. You’re still using the word, just with an intentional typo. You’re not lying to anyone except yourself.

    Sure, but I’m not encouraging any of that.
