    No no, you see. Its okay and normal to destroy your body for other peoples profit.

    The problem here is you enjoying yourself and experience happiness. Personal happiness is a sin in capitalism, because it might lead to thoughts of improving your situation, and thats the last thing anyone wants. Just think of what it could do to the shareholders!

    /s because I know some dim bulb will take this seriously otherwise.

        its on point, but if I dont /s then someone will come in and think I’m actually arguing in favor of ruining your body for capitalism.

        cause every time I’ve ever made a super obvious post, I always get some dimbulb response without the /s

      No no, you see. Its okay and normal to destroy your body for the glorious state.

      The problem here is you enjoying yourself and experience happiness. Personal happiness is a sin in communism, because it might lead to thoughts of freedom and self-improvement, and thats the last thing the government wants. Just think of what it could do to the production!

      /s because I know capitalism sucks, but communism sucks as well.

        Why would any government oppose people’s thoughts of freedom and self-improvement, when that’s specifically the goal of Communism to encourage, as opposed to Capitalism?

          Because Communist governments see any opposition to communism as a threat to their power, so they do not tolerate dissidence even if they claim to tolerate dissidence. It’s just another example of the paradox of tolerance.

    Let me air out two unrelated but similar things that annoyed the shit out of me back in the day.

    Your parents then: “That floor mat thingy (referring to the Power Pad) doesn’t count as exercise because it’s still Nintendo. You need to go outside!!!”

    Adults now: Middle school phys-ed classes consisting of playing Dance Dance Revolution apparently somehow now “counts” as real exercise.

    And,

    Your parents then: “The problem with you kids is you spend all day in front of that tube, watching those stupid movies and playing video games all day instead of reading books. It’s stunting your ability to differentiate fantasy from reality!!!”

    Your parents now: Instantly believe every damn fool thing they see on Facebook, even and especially when it is clearly horseshit.

    So yeah. I can totally believe that some moron would unironically believe that staring at a screen containing an office application is somehow automatically more “wholesome” than staring at a screen displaying any other content for the same amount of time.

    Are we all working the same job? Just spending 8 hours inputing data, filtering and moving columns in excel?

          Good God please use xlookup. We have some old school people that still use vlookup and refuse to convert their ranges to tables, it drives me crazy.

          I still use index/match for multiple lookup returns (or is it sumifs I can’t remember?) But I do a lot of work in BI and it’s much more intuitive for me in DAX/M.

  • Bad posture and form will mess you up in either. If it hurts to sit in an ergo chair the way you’re meant to with your hands at the right position on the mouse and keyboard: you’ve already been doing it wrong for a while.

      I will also argue that general workout will help a lot with pain. I used ti get sorre after some time and after getting a couple dumbells and working out the parts of my body that would hurt/get sore I rarelly ever have problems nowdays.

    I’m more likely to take a break with work. Unfortunately that break often entails sitting in the same chair, watching YouTube on the same screen.
