But who cares? I ultimately don&#8217;t, so why would you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harvard did not directly conclude that people who curse are smarter, but  the research demonstrated that those people with an ability to use curse words effectively possess a higher verbal intelligence.  Accordingly, you gotta trust the science on this one &#8211; gotta find effective ways to say fuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook feels too much like 13th Grade, like some bizarre extension of high school, coupled with relatives that may or may not remember me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been digging Instagram.
