I enjoyed looking at this on my small screen while listening to something playing on my big screen.

Yes, because doing accounting on paper is the same as reading a book. And listening to your boss is the same as listening to your friends.

And rope bondage play with the wife is the same as tying down loads of sheet metal on the back of delivery truck.

What?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I knew I should've talked to HR when I was told to "load her up" by my boss!

As a psychiatric nurse, during my work day I watch my screen for about 1 out of 8 hours. When I come home I like to spend some time behind the screen. I sometimes wonder if it is necessary that so many people work behind screens. Shouldn't we get more people to work as nurses, teachers but also craftsman, handyman, etc. This may sound as a naive and romantic thought, and I'm sure a lot of the work behind screens is extremely useful and efficient. But still I wonder if we haven't somehow lost focus of what's important. Like we've started to think that we can solve everything behind the computer, while simultaneously things are falling apart, people are lonely and people in need don't get help.

You guys realize there's jobs that don't require constant screen usage right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Yes but you get board hanging on the back of garbage truck so you take a screen with you.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

Hisssss! Get away with your poison words! Leave me to my tippy tapping at my special clickety clackety keyboard!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yes, but how will I become a furry in tech otherwise

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Become a network admin and you can stare at blinking lights instead, making sure they don't stop blinking.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

What ist a blinking light if not a very low resolution screen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

It's a balance :)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but most of them involve constant interaction with people that have forgotten how to interact with people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Not to be the cliche guy... But trades work was my answer

I abhor interacting with people.. Now I have maybe 4 people to talk to in a whole day. I just do my job and go home

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Trust me, we got screens there too now.

But we do get good excuses to smash em now and then. Oopsie doodles.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

And the more control you have over the work the more screen time you get. My family has a lot of contractors, and my dad left that to work trades for the government. Before my dad died he spent most of his day on his computer, even though it was his least favorite part, but he was the head of his department. My contractor uncles all spend hours a day on screens, calls, orders, book keeping, meetings, drafting, reading specifications, reading contracts, etc., now that they are the head of businesses that have younger people doing most of the physical work.

(If you haven't seen Severance yet, get on your big screen and watch it now, you won't regret it)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

I hope season 2 is good

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

such is the pixellated world we live in

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Send this to the guy with the blue aliens comic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Nathan W Pyle. That's my first thought as well

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Or to Randall Munroe. Oh, wait...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

This is tangential and barely related, but this makes me think of Watsky's 'Tiny Glowing Screens' trilogy of songs.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
