not sure what the argument against adjustable desks is. there's legitimate science showing they are better for you. sounds a little like sour grapes to me, OP

no but they should invent a squat desk where u squat as you type although that would arguably actually benefit u as opposed to standing up 8 hours a day like a complete dork

getting a standing desk is 9 times out of 10 is a stupid futile attempt to fix problems with your pathetically atrophied body without actually doing any exercise of any kind
