4.3/10.0 but only because I thought of it first and you didn’t read my mind.

Except for the minority of people who do want to ban guns.
Hi.
How about a thread for how politics in TV shows affects our culture?
Only if the TV show is set in a Cantina.
We love and fetishize our guns too much to ever actually be rational about them, unfortunately.
I used to take benadryl every night to sleep also, and it turned me into a real crab apple. Hated everything and everybody.
Hmm…
Ha exactly what I thought, assuming you thought what I thought. Then again you and all your friends like the PT so we have nothing in common.
I’m not married, so at least it’s not a premonition of my death.
You’re not married yet, so maybe it’s a premonition of your marriage and then death.
We have one.
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.
Guys, it’s star trek. You’re acting like it’s about TLJ.
9.67/10.00
Amazing.
I guess my question is ‘who decides what staring at someone is?’ Could someone conceivably get in trouble for staring at something behind someone else? What if someone’s just staring into space, but someone else thinks they’re being stared at?
Come on.
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.
all day.
five seconds ≠ all day
You continue to miss the point.

Yeah, Trump does not care about this. He’ll offer some unsolicited prayer and then do nothing.
An unsolicited prayer? He doesn’t say anything unless it’s an immigrant or a non-white.
Five seconds spent staring at someone is an eternity if they know you’re looking. I don’t know what else to say.
Everyone gets that, but I don’t like making a rule out of it.
No one made a rule about it. I’m not sure why you keep saying this.
At least five shot dead at a newspaper. Just wonderful.

No, I’d just make people I don’t like disappear.
So the whole planet?

You guys are amazing. I’d like you to go out and actually do this shit and see what happens and see how far your posturing gets you then.
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.
