I’ve been having so much trouble sleeping lately. I’ll lie down to go to sleep at 11:30, then find myself still awake at 12:30 and start stressing about how tired I’m going to be in the morning, which in turn causes me to lose more sleep. I’m not even that stressed about life and my bed is super comfy, I don’t know why I’m struggling to fall asleep.

I used to do that quite often when I was younger. It might not be related, but if you drink soda or energy drinks, try reducing the amount. Or even just sugary snacks.

There are bits of truth in everyone’s posts on the 5 second rule (some more than others, granted).

5 seconds of just staring at someone is a long time but if it were a rule it could be abused or lead to misunderstanding.

Mostly I agree with Jay and mfm that we live in a messed up culture that finds this kind of standard reasonable.

I think many people are increasingly rule-bound in their thinking and that’s a problem.

If any of you have sons, consider helping them show interest in girls in ways other than staring at them. It’s a thin line between bashful and creep.

I think it’s sad that we live in a messed up culture that still encourages victim blaming.

oh ffs. Now because I think 5 seconds is to short a time, I’m victim blaming and/or encouraging victim blaming.

was that post about you?

I have been staring at this thread for about 60 seconds in pure agony.

three pages ago it was revealed (to no-ones surprise) that of course netflix HR did not create a rule about how long you can stare at someone.

The irony is, i am sure the statement came about like this.

HR: “… and remember that staring at someone can be construed as harassment, we want to have a friendly and welcoming workplace.”
Man 1: “but i look around the office all the time, and like to see what is going on, when does it become too long?”
HR: (I can’t believe i have to explain this) “A good rule of thumb is probably 5 seconds, if you are looking at someone, but not engaging with them in any other way, then anything longer than 5 seconds is probably going to make the other person uncomfortable”

JEDIT: puggo posted at the same time.

Make sure to cut the can opener into thin slices or it won’t develop its full flavour.

Do you include the plastidip grips? I can never decide. I can always separate them and put them in the freezer until fondue night.

The grips are the best parts!

Can’t get enough of my shrimp and grips.
