Must have changed since I was a kid then, I had a bunk bed without guards and the summer camps I went to as a kid never had rails on the bunks

I've never understood why bunk beds don't come standard with guard rails.

Reply to comment by lactose_con_leche in TIL love is as strong as illegal drugs. When you fall in love the same part of your brain is stimulated as when you take mind-altering substances like cocaine. by Canes-Venaticii

Yes, this. I don't think I would describe the rush of feel good chemicals when falling in love as love at all. It's more like a biological attachment response. Love is a conscious choice that must be made every day, long after the initial high of attachment subsides.

Reply to TIL in response to infamously high suicide rates at Mapo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea, the bridge was adorned with suicide prevention messages and uplifting photos. These measures weren't enacted by the government, however, instead the entire project was financed by Samsung's life insurance division by evilclownattack

Reply to Has anyone picked up reading habits or have any specific rituals? by One-Coast8927

I generally read at night. I go to bed early with a cup of tea, get into some comfy jammies, and read for an hour or so before I go to sleep.

I used to have this thing for reading in a hot bath with a glass of whisky but I'm cutting out alcohol so don't do that anymore. I still read in the bath sometimes though.

Also I recently made a cozy little reading spot in my den so I've been reading more in the afternoon. I work from home so I'll take a couple of 20 minute breaks during the day, have a cup of tea and settle into my reading nook. 😊 it's the best on rainy days
