I’m almost a 100% misanthrope at this point, which next to no expectations of good behavior from my fellow man, and even I am amazed at how little the American people care about the massacre that just happened.

While I may be a snowflake because I don’t want you guys rapestaring at your female coworkers, I did post about that earlier.

man, staring at someone and looking at the direction someone’s in is very clearly and very noticeably different.

How would you quantify that legally?

Who is talking about legal definitions? Wasn’t this 5-second-rule just part of a guideline to provide a rule of thumb? Why is everyone talking like this is a proposal for an actual law?

It wasn’t even a rule. But that’s what happens when you rely on a right wing site reporting on a story in an UK tabloid.

I’m pretty sure TLJ has had about as much hate as the Prequels.

I’d love to know how you can be pretty sure about that.

With my age group at least, I’m fairly certain it does. Most people I talk to don’t mind the prequels and dislike TLJ.

Ever heard of the concept of small sample size or anecdotal evidence?

Your scientifically credible evidence for backing your position consists of…?

Come on man. My position is that you can’t make a statistically relevant data set from talking to your friends. What position do you think I was presenting?

Uh, the opposite one (prequels bad, TLJ good)?

While I do hold that personal opinion, I said nothing about how the general population feels. So sorry, you’re wrong, that was not the position I was presenting. “Ever heard of the concept of small sample size or anecdotal evidence?” presents the position that you can’t make a statistically relevant data set from talking to your friends, as I said before.

When I was first dating my now wife, we used to go to something called a mall to people watch. We’d sit up on the upper level and watch people down below to see what they were doing, what stores they stopped at, the weird things they were wearing, etc. It was a nice way to spend no money while having some fun conversation and learning about each other.

I think it’s hilarious that anyone would equate this with staring at the secretary all day.

It’s not much different if you really think about the concepts. Both are incredibly weird and “creepy” if you want to misuse that word. Either way you’re looking at some innocent person who is minding his own business. It’s just that in one situation you’re on the upper level looking down and mocking the clothes of people on the lower level and in the other you’re in a corporate shithole looking at a poor secretary that wished she’d chosen a less demeaning career. In reality, however, it’s actually true that watching people can be creepy, and other times it isn’t creepy. What if you just looked at the secretary for five seconds, and not all day? What about six? What about 4.99 seconds? What if you looked at her for five seconds with a normal expression on your face while someone else looked at her for three and a half seconds with a really threatening look on his face? How about everyone minds their own damn business while simultaneously not freaking the fuck out when some person looks at them? How about that?

This is ridiculous.

I don’t condone staring, but setting fascist a time-limit is dehumanizing and insulting, and I’d quit whatever company imposed such an arbitrary restriction on me.

Ok but they didn’t do that. And five seconds is a loooooooooong time to stare at someone. They’re making a point - don’t be a creep. And clearly they need to make that point because some people somehow don’t get it. As evidence, I present this thread.
