Oohh look at these people with more than one room! (Ok it's valid for those.. but I'm still feeling a bit salty.)
Oh, so you have 1 room? Must be nice. I had 3 walls and a plastic tarp I time shares with a neighbor as a shower curtain, and had to tap out tcp-ip on an old telegraph machine. Got quit good, tapped out about 0.3 kb/m (kilobits per minute)
On the opposite, I'd say it's a great way to destroy your sleep routine and habits. As a rule of thumb, your bed should be dedicated to sleep and cuddles with your significant other.

It's also a great way to destroy your neck and back. If you thought you had problems with ergonomics at your desk, it will be way worse typing away in a bed.

Solution: two beds. A work bed and a sleep bed.
Or pull a George Castanza and put a small mattress under your desk.

Every once in a while I see an article from a major publication that makes me recoil. And I don't know how to express it but the fact that someone's gonna kill themself (long) after following the article's advice isn't the worst part of it at all.
Most people don't actually kill themselves, they just desperately want out of a situation they can't convey to anyone, can't fix on their own, and makes no sense. It's like if someone's house got robbed and they got beaten into a hospital bed on every prime-numbered day of the month, but no one told them those rules and no one believed them when they talked about it. The day that poor bastard got fed up, burned their house down, and just started walking would be better than the thirty days before that, even excluding prime-numbered ones.
Anyway I'll be holding my breath for an apology article from the new york times so I guess I'll see you on the other side

Oohh look at these people with more than one room! I feel ya. Back when I was running a one-man startup, I had myself, my wife, and a cat in 450 square feet. Except when I was out gladhanding potential clients, I worked from my bed. At least back then, I could decamp for Starbucks if I got the crazies. But today's studio apartment dwellers are really screwed. Especially if you live somewhere hot, somewhere cold, or a…

I recently was shopping for a new chair for home, and realized that... I don't actually need anything special because I habitually sit on the front half of the chair and don't rest my back against the back. So I just got one of the low-tier Steelcase chairs we have at the office and it's great! It'll last, and it's just... fine. I tried sitting on a yoga ball for a while, but realized that it's not doing anything mor…
Yes, the yoga ball helps somewhat but it is a training tool not a permanent solution as it is quite awkward to sit on. I've been there long time ago, it was recommended by a chiropractor. I used to have bad issues and was seeing a chiropractor 20 years ago but am doing really well now. As a matter of fact I'm in much better shape in my 40s than I was in my 20s and I don't work out like crazy. It was all about fixing…
I do a fair bit of cycling and every-other-day core workouts that are kinda needed because cycling makes my hamstrings and lower back tight. It all happens to come together and I feel the same as you, much better shape in my 40s than my 20s.
I might dare to say I feel pretty darn good physically, most of the time. And can even push myself to pretty hard points (where things hurt, but not in an injury type of way) when I want. I hope I can keep this up, but sort of feel like a bunch of good practices that already are in place can lead to that.

"pro-lockdown" and "why the fuck are we giving people so little money" tend to go together, in my experience. Lock down for a month or two, give everyone more than enough money to cover rent/food/utilities and some entertainment (to keep from going insane), and greatly reduce the spread of this virus. But here we are in the US with a paltry $600 coming after the entire duration of this stupid, stupid pandemic. As to…
Stop that. This thread is for inferring people's intentions and then coming up with appropriately cartoonish motivations. I personally think the author of this article is trying to give people clinical depression. But I'm having trouble figuring out how that fits into their leftist agenda. Maybe it's because leftists are themselves lazy and unmotivated, and they want to feel better about themselves by sabotaging othe…

The average global house size is much larger than that. China has the smallest at 500 square feet, so my point stands.
House size maybe, but that leaves out bunch of other types of living. Not just apartments, but slum huts, refugee camp tents, and so on.
