I love WFH. Been doing it before covid. It's the only way to work.

Are we paying these people to wank now?

More Americans than ever are doing their jobs remotely, and its safe to say that working from home differs from a typical day at the office in more ways than one. (Pajamas as work attire, kids infiltrating Zoom calls, piles of laundry in the backgroundlets just say that mastering your computers mute and video off button is a required skill.) But one of the perks of a WFH setup is the flexibility it provides, and some folks are taking advantage of said flexibility in some pretty, um, exciting ways.

According to a recent study, Americans are making more time for self-pleasure since the rise of remote workand theyre not doing it after hours. The 2,008 person survey found that a whopping 49 percent of Americans are masturbating on the clock, with 40 percent of respondents admitting to masturbating more frequently since they started working from home and 20 percent of respondents confessing to masturbating whilst simultaneously performing a work task. (Impressive!)

In other words, theres a good chance your coworkers are getting off between Zoom calls and its anyones guess whether Brittany actually had a doctors appointment or just made a date with her vibrator. But does this revelation warrant finger wagging, or is it actually a positive development? We spoke to neuroscientist and sexual researcher Nicole Prause to get her take on the scandalous stats, and it turns out that a little on the clock self-pleasure might be good for morale, and work performance too.

News to no one: Masturbation has several health benefits, regardless of what time of day you get the job done. For starters, the expert tells us that sexual arousal is associated with opioid release, which may reduce pain experience. The aforementioned opioid release is also known to stimulate dopamine production, a feel good hormone that reduces anxiety and boosts mood. Masturbating can also help strengthen your pelvic floor and improve immune function.

So yes, masturbation is both pleasurable and relaxing, but what about the potential benefits of doing it on the clock? Per the survey data, 74 percent of men and 61 percent of women who masturbate during the workday do so for the most obvious reason of alltheyre horny. And heres where it gets interesting: Because getting riled up on the job can negatively affect a persons ability to focus, finding a healthy release for all that sexual energy could actually boost productivity. Prause confirms: Sexual arousal uses memory resources. If you are distracted by sexual thoughts that are taking attention away from your work, masturbation may reduce later sexual thoughts and allow you to focus on your intended work.

Bottom line: More of us are masturbating during work hours and thats good news for our moodand potentially our careers, too.

Just saw it, it was a pretty feel good movie.

Jesus.

That terrifies me as someone who has had my depression get to the point of thinking of ways to "get the job done."

Neena Pacholke has sadly passed away.

The popular Wake Up Wisconsin at News 9 anchor took her own life at the age of 27, TMZ reported.

The news comes after ex Kyle Haase reportedly called off their wedding.

He [Kyle] told me he hates me and will feel like a million bucks once I am out of his life, she reportedly wrote.

I love you Kyle. I always have and always will. Despite how much you ruined me, I always had hope. Im so sorry to do this to you but I cant handle any of this pain anymore, she allegedly wrote to her ex.

According to the police report, police were called by Kyle to do a welfare check because of Neenas concerning texts.

Police arrived, and heard a noise and the sound of something falling. Once they had entered, Neena had reportedly already shot herself in the head with a handgun. They found a receipt showing she bought the weapon 90 minutes before killing herself.

My current girlfriend told me this somewhat early on.

Let's just say I'm okay with that.

The Food and Drug Administration announced new rules Wednesday for nutrition labels that can go on the front of food packages to indicate that they are healthy.

Under the proposal, manufacturers can label their products healthy if they contain a meaningful amount of food from at least one of the food groups or subgroups (such as fruit, vegetable or dairy) recommended by the dietary guidelines. They must also adhere to specific limits for certain nutrients, such as saturated fat, sodium and added sugars. For example, a cereal would need to contain three-quarters of an ounce of whole grains and no more than 1 gram of saturated fat, 230 milligrams of sodium and 2.5 grams of added sugars per serving for a food manufacturer to use the word healthy on the label.

The labels are aimed at helping consumers more easily navigate nutrition labels and make better choices at the grocery store. The proposed rule would align the definition of the healthy claim with current nutrition science, the updated Nutrition Facts label and the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the FDA said.

The agency also is developing a symbol that companies can voluntarily use to label food products that meet federal guidelines for the term healthy.

The announcement cameahead of Wednesdays White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health. The conference wasthe first of its kind since 1969, when a summit hosted by the administration of President Richard M. Nixon led to major expansions of food stamps, school lunches and other programs that have been credited with reducing hunger nationally and providing a critical safety net during the pandemic.

Once finalized, the FDAs new system will quickly and easily communicate nutrition information through tools such as star ratings or traffic light schemes to promote equitable access to nutrition information and healthier choices, the White House said in a statement this week. The system can also prompt industry to reformulate their products to be healthier, it said, by adding more vegetables or whole grains or developing new products to meet the updated definition.

The stakes are high.

Six in 10 American adults have chronic lifestyle-related diseases, often stemming from obesity and poor diet, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC says these diseases are the leading cause of death and disability and a leading driver in the nations $4.1 trillion of annual health-care costs.

And the obesity epidemic is not moving in the right direction: Studies show that obesity, especially among children, rose significantly during the pandemic,with the greatest change among children ages 5 to 11, who gained an average of more than five pounds. Before the pandemic, about 36 percent of 5- to 11-year-olds were considered overweight or obese; during the pandemic,that increased to 45.7 percent.

Groups such as the Center for Science in the Public Interest have long petitioned the FDA to adopt mandatory, standardized and evidence-based front-of-package labeling. Front-of-package nutrition labeling, they say, will reach more consumers than the Nutrition Facts on the backs of packages, helping them quickly choose more-beneficial foods and spurring companies to reformulate products in a more healthful direction. According to nutrition experts, Americans generally consume too much sodium, added sugars and saturated fat in their packaged foods, so to be able to quickly identify foods that are high or low in those nutrients would be a significant public health benefit.

The Biden administration has endorsed the FDAs efforts to crack down on sodium intake, strengthening the agencys announcement last year that it would have food companies and restaurants reduce sodium in the foods they make by about 12 percent over the next 2 years. In a parallel effort, the administration suggests the FDA reduce Americans sugar consumption by including potential voluntary targets for food manufacturers sugar content.

I see a lot of it coming from the gymshark fitness influencers who post that shit year round, like staying at 6% bodyfat every day of the year is feasible. Total joke

I mean... okay, but I don't see what's so hard about turning a thing around.

The Biden administration is proposing that nutrition labels go on the front of food packages rather than the back. It's part of a strategy to end hunger and diet-related diseases in America in eight years some 40 pages of ideas to try to make the nation healthier.

The White House unveiled the plan ahead of a conference on hunger, nutrition and health being held in Washington on Wednesday the first of its kind since 1969, when a similar effort sparked programs like food stamps.

The strategy includes expanding nutrition assistance programs and launching more programs to cover medically tailored meals. But it's unclear how quickly most of the ideas could become reality, since many recommendations hinge on support from a divided Congress and changes to regulations.

The administration wants to expand existing food security programs to more people. This includes ideas like:

Expanding school meals to all students
Making it easier for more kids to get food during the summer months, when school is out
Allowing people who were formerly incarcerated or in college to receive food stamps.

These ideas would require legislation to pass Congress.

I would have, but it was sold out.

"Look, its not that hard. All you need to do is lift weights six days a week, stop drinking alcohol, dont eat anything after 7pm, dont eat any carbs or sugar at all, in fact just dont eat anything you like, get the personal trainer from Magic Mike, sleep nine hours a night, run three miles a day, and have a studio pay for the whole thing over a six to seven month span,
