You need to make an actual effort.

Remember the CRAAP test, everyone:

Currency (Is this information current? If not when was it updated?)

Relevance (Does it make sense to the topic you're working on? Does it not?)

Authority (Who wrote this article? What are their qualifications?)

Accuracy (Is this information accurate? Can you cross-reference with other articles or papers?)

Purpose (What was the author's purpose in writing this? Were they paid to write this piece?)

(Edit: formatting)

In adult-facing parts of the internet, including here, swears are typically used for an extra bit of "oomph" to spice up a sentence or make a point clear. (I know that there's an actual word for this but I can't think of it currently.) It's generally considered neutering that spice if you censor it; case in point is this meme. It just tends to look childish or dumb, especially if the word is just vaguely censored like this meme here again. At least Grawlixes ("$#@&!") have some mystery as to the word being said.

Calvin is, for lack of a better term, a little shit. Basically, his mom decided to become a stay-at-home parent since she was used to stress and frustration, which are things that a young child would also have in spades.
