Imagine what we'll call them. taint? tanj? tasp! larry niven was a pretty garbage writer but once in a while he was had some social criticism & bite, like in a gift from earth, which takes place on a colony world where the crew descendants basically live forever by using the colonist descendants as organ donors (they convict them of crimes before, of course). but probably he cribbed from other writers

turns out easier tools was all that was stopping the general public from producing 00s deviantart slop on an even greater scale. there's a livejournal teen in all of us I love that the wall-e blobs weren't even meant as some "this is what happens if you don't exercise!" scold, they explain it's muscle atrophy from multiple generations in low g

He seemed alright with the job but I got the impression that he was seriously rethinking his choices. He almost certainly took a solid pay cut to do a job that’s way more exhausting so I do hope he went back to his old job eventually

They mostly have sensors that stop you from pressing too hard which is good. Didn't get that five years ago when I bought the previous one.

redleader posted:yeah, imagine doing easier, safer work for more money. dude's clearly insane Its less "fulfilling" than working with your hands, and you can pay bills with the warm fuzzy feelings you get from that. Just ignore the old heads in the trades who are bent and broken, in constant pain, cant afford healthcare or to retire, abuse drugs to keep working... Its real manly work.

It's funny to me that 30~ year old computer touchers think retirement will be an option in 30-40 years.

I bounce between jobs that require my physical body and ones that require my delicate typing fingers and I'm never happy wherever I'm at. in either case im hyper aware that I will never ever retire and I laugh when old timers talk about it as a reality for me.

I moved to a new place last year and make a little less hourly than as a DBA but my medical is all paid by employer so it’s closer than it looks it was definitely rough on my body, especially at first, going from sitting all day to standing/moving/lifting. I did lose about 25lbs of spare tire just by going to work and changing nothing else so that was cool. I’m in better shape at 40 than I was at 30

Getting paid computer toucher money and you die sooner? Sounds like a win win tbh and you can afford to build your own shop for the weekends as well

Physical labor and computer touching will both destroy your body eventually, just in completely different ways Do you want to grind your bones and joints into dust by age 51 or die of a metabolic or cardiovascular disorder at your desk by age 52? The choice is yours!

Tempora Mutantur posted:just loving work out Yeah literally this. It’s incredibly easy to work a computer toucher job and spend an hour at the gym three times a week or so. It’s much harder to work a physical labor job and avoid the long term effects of that
