To be honest, WFH for me means that if they need me to fill an hour in extra or so per day, then that’s kind of already costed in with travel times.

I’ve pulled 14 hour shifts covering for PTO or sick days and it really doesn’t feel even half as exhausting as a normal in-office 8 hours.

I dunno man, they’re really happy with the work life balance and the C-suites are happy with their productivity.

It’s funny even our sales and logistics departments are wfh, and the only people I ever see on the off chance I need to load a tape rack or something is security and building maintenance.

And we’ve been RIDICULOUSLY profitable all through covid. In fact covid only served to show the remaining staff how productive WFH is.

We are making so much money rn that they don’t even CARE about property costs and they leave the lights and AC on 24/7 for maybe 2 people in the entire site, and our 3 satellite sites are just as empty.

Sure there may be some A type salesbro personalities that need to be around others to work effectively, the largely spectrum oriented development community needs no such frippery.

I work at one of the top ten data processors in the world.

ALL of our devs have been WFH since 2014 and produce better work now than ever.

And now you’re a blocked fucking idiot as well.

Most people don’t bother looking into it other than what they read on blogs or see on youtube. There’s a LOT of nutritional misinfo going around. Thats what happens when social media values reach and clout over accuracy and meaning.

fucking idiot…

Of course it is a fuckdamn lemm.ee user making this mess in the comments.

Defederate them now please. it is long been beyond time.

You really shouldn’t go by just gut instinct when it comes to scientific evidence, just saying…

The answer is simple: females in most species have a larger nutritional debt from reproduction. Making sure your partner eats is just good survival tactics.

You joke but it really is.

We are seeing the fallout of 2 world wars killing off so many fathers that the tradition of passing down male wisdom was broken, and was replaced by the ‘hollywood’ vision of masculinity, which is toxic af. Just look at how accepted slapping women was on film in the 40s-70s.

The modern chantard incel stereotype is a direct result of boys growing up with few positive male role models in their close circles and none of them having the generational wisdom of their great grandfathers to pass down.

Unfortunately, most people concerned with gender equality are so focused on dismantling the patriarchy that no one has a solid plan for re-establishing the positive male role model tradition.

All of the social signs are there, China experienced this problem several times during the Warring States period and identified the root as ‘bare branches’, men with no prospect for a marriage or future that would form bands of criminals that would go around raping and pillaging.

We are starting to see that a bit now with all of the white male mass shootings, and rape has always been a mostly invisible problem in our culture.

And it’s going to get much, much worse unless we can find a way to re-establish the value of the wholesome male role model. And if you see who the male role models the youngest generation are choosing (Logan Paul is a great example) you’ll be just as pessimistic about our immediate future as I am.

And for the longest time, mac and cheese was a luxury dish, and lobster was considered prisoner food.

It’s kind of amusing to see the eating trends of the wealthy.

At one point peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were rich food too, because they were able to afford the berries to make jam, or had land to grow them.

Nowadays it is some of the cheapest lunch you can make.

I think meat is going that route now, and in 15-20 years the only people who will be able to afford real meat will be the wealthy.

That’s not super accurate, there were still public lands for hunting and chickens and goats were eaten regularly by non-nobles.

That said, it wasn’t common to have meat at every meal.

Also: feast days, and there were a fucktonne of them (more than the pitiful handful we get nowadays) and were almost always catered lavishly by their local lord as a show of wealth.

I’m not saying life was ‘better’ then, just that we have a lot of misconceptions about historic periods, usually influenced by movies and other entertainment media.

The Doctrine of Signs, haha good memories.

Just as an aside: It has its roots in the ancient greek philosophers and was considered for centuries to be the pinnacle of rational thought. I mean, it wasn’t, but for literally more than a thousand years it has been a form of mental masturbation amongst the oldschool academic elite.

Got a lot of shelf fungus prescribed as ear medication lol

Hence why everyone being clear to say ‘raw liver’, which was traditionally eaten fresh from the kill as a prize.

That’s discounting the cultural plant knowledge that those hunter gatherers had.

100k years of ‘Don’t eat that, it kill Grog remember?’ can lead up to a pretty extensive safe list of wild plants as well as a bunch of useful healing herbs.

We’ve long since forgotten most of it, having not needed it since agriculture.

Livers were prized parts of the animal for hunts, we knew the value of organ meat before.

Just now everyone is like ‘ick, organ meat’…

That said, I don’t know if I trust modern livers, they are the toxin dump of the body and while I’d happily eat liver before the industrial revolution, I’m not sure its safe to eat now considering how we treat our farmlands.

Food wise? Oh that’s easy.

Fats and salts, before agriculture and animal domestication, were hard to get a significant amount of in our diets, and the plants we foraged were usually much lower in starch and higher in fiber. Our bodies are geared to focus on these nutrient sources, so starches fats and salts taste really, really good.

Agriculture short circuited that focus as we produced and cultivated plants that were starchier, sugarier, and animals in general tripped our ‘mmmm delicious’ buttons much better than their uncultivated ancestors.

So basically it’s REALLY easy in our modern diets to get WAY too much starch, salt, and fat because our appetites are geared by millions of years of evolution but we have only been agricultural for a hundred thousand years at the very most and our biology hasn’t caught up.

So we take in a LOT more of the ‘good stuff’ that our body wants, and too much of anything is not good.

Hence the modern obesity epidemic and the rise of type 2 diabetes.

People like to whine it is a personal willpower problem, but it really isn’t.

It’s a food supply problem. 60% of the space in our grocery stores is just made up of various nutritionally empty configurations of starch, fat, and salt.

In higher circles, wealth is considered a measure of competence.

It is a core tenet of capitalism: “Well if he’s such a bad businessman, why is he so rich?”

One of the ways they hide their incompetence is buying the talents of other, actually skilled people.

Another is ostentatious displays of wealth to impress other members of the owner class of your absolute flushness of cash and calmness of mind to keep faith in whatever your schemes are this week to stay relevant

Billionaires should not exist, and a trillionaire is simple an abomination
