We need an "ftfy bot" that puts the censored words back in full. These scribbled and other self-corrected words are so annoying.

I agree, but I thought it was funny enough to share anyway.

But how can we know what the censored words are supposed to be? They're censored after all...

So - I asked about this and my friend said something something algorithms. If there's a cuss word in it - it doesn't spread... But if you censor it, it will spread.

I know nothing about algorithms, but seemed plausible to me.

I agress however, it is pretty stupid.

Adults are fucked, I'd rather act like a toddler.

Would not!

Mom, Flying Squid is being a turd and they are on my half of the back seat.

Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!

See?

Toddlers have it made.Someone cooks for you, you can shit yourself and you don't have to pay taxes.

You could always travel back in time and mary some unlucky christian girl that than is socially obligated do all these things for you because she has no political or social rights of her own while you're unemployed, because the factory closed down so you go out drinking all night with your "buddies" and have unconsented sex with your wife if and when you eventually manage to drag your wasted self homewards through the gutter.

Shit, this was meant for my adult stepson. Sorry.

If I make a bot and send this message to millions of random numbers, I wonder how many will be like "you're right, but who are you?"
