    Can't concentrate in a open office. I'm made to be alert to the slightest change and see the bear first in the woods.

  • In my programming career (which started in the '90s) I went from private offices with doors to high-walled cubicles to low-walled cubicles to desks in an open office, and finally to an open office plan where you didn't even have your own assigned desk. The last two steps were working from home (yay) and getting laid off (not as yay).

    We also never evolved to wake up so early either, the more you think about modern life in regards to how we evolved, the weirder it gets.

    As far as I know Southern Europe does have a siesta culture. Northern Europe however does not, at least not the parts I have been.

    That is true. Spain and Italy for sure do

    I would guess part of it would be tied to the history of the industrial revolution starting jn England and Germany but probably not the whole story

    The reason that I am told is that it's just way to hot during the midday to do anything productive, so you just take a two hour break during the warmest part of the day. But there's probably more to it than just that.

    Chemically it’s also perfectly balanced - except our blood alcohol level tends to run low by about 0.05%.

    The problem is that the best jobs that don't destroy your body or pay living wages do involve the shit this meme in complaining about.

    Prove me wrong and post jobs that do not involve this shit, doesn't destroy your body, and pays well. That's right, you can't.

    They aren't fake lights. Even the lights you see in an animated movie are real lights in that they emit light on the screen.
