@BayesForDays but microsoft excel is a video game, it has an esports world championship and everything

Politicians noted the mass shooter was an email addict and spent 10 hour days in meetings and crafting Microsoft Outlook work emails.

@BayesForDays Correlation <> Causation ;)

@BayesForDays the key difference here is doing excel for 8 hours makes money for corporations, while playing video games for three hours does not.

@BayesForDays As a game tester working 8 hours shifts, I would like The Spectator Index to sent the results of their studies to my boss!!

@BayesForDays hm when you put your arm in a bandage and the mousepad on the seat and the keyboard on your legs and put your legs up and not in a sitting position all the time, it works. ^^

@BayesForDays I'd like to note that if you do ask and research fairly sendentary professions (like translators for exemple) directly you do see a lot of "this is a problem", especially since the addition of the internet which made those jobs even more sedentary.

@BayesForDays 👆 @eris2cats

@BayesForDays @threedaymonk oh come *on* I just downloaded Fallout 4 PS5 and I have 8 hours of Excel to do first

@BayesForDays Yeah, duh...

@BayesForDays damn... what if i play Excel like video games? ;-)

@BayesForDays As someone who does Excel quite a lot... No. Definitely causes me wrist pain.

There's a reason it's illegal in the USA to work for more 6 hours without a half-hour lunch break. "Six to six" was what the first (and only) general strike in the USA accomplished back in 1835, limiting the hours of workers to less than 24/7 and guaranteeing breaks. And only a large amount of people had to be shot to death by your employer to get that granted. So if you're worked for 8 hours straight without a meal break, that's very illegal, and you can report your company to the government who might even take action against them, and you'll be laid off immediately of course.

...

Or you could get together with your coworkers to form a union that can get somewhat shielded from strategic layoffs, except your bosses are still in control, so they'll have the power to spy on you, bribe snitches, and try to catch you unionizing, then immediately lay you off, or shoot you. Orrr you could do something other than capitalism. Then they'll definitely shoot at you, but you won't be held down to make it easy for them to aim.

@BayesForDays happy to hear microsoft excel isn't affected, as it's my favorite video game

@BayesForDays Me, playing Satisfactory, and doing both at same time...

@BayesForDays Four out of pediatricians recommend Pall Mall cigarettes while swilling Popov vodka and shaming you about that one joint a week you smoke.
