Company is "upgrading" us to sit to stand desks soon
My office managers just announced that they are replacing all of our desks at work with sit to stand desks and I can't shake this anxious feeling I have about it. Everyone is so excited except me…
Obviously, I know that I do not have to use the stand feature and could sit at the desk at all times like normal. But I'm just imagining the office full of people athletically standing at times throughout the day, whereas I will be sitting down in my chair the entire time. I know this sounds silly but it just seems like yet another thing that will call attention to my size.
Sorry if this is just the most minor thing, but I hoped I could share it with folks who may understand.

They already added fricking walking to the olympics.

even on the wiki page you can see how bullshit it is
You're supposed to keep a foot on the ground at all times, but bro in front DEFINITELY has both feet off the ground. The whole thing is r-slurred because unless you make them wear special shoes that detect contact w/ the ground, there's zero possible way to actually stop people from cheating.

Walking can burn a minor amount of calories but it's basically worthless compared to high intensity exercise
A half hour of tough lifting is worth more than a day's gentle walking
Jump in the discussion.

Youre burning abour 40 calories per 1k steps. 30k steps a day is 1200 calories burned. That is a fairly decent amount of calories burned for someone that otherwise might not be working out.

Drive literally an hour east from your suburban Portland shithole and hike a 1-day 30-miler on the PCT south of Mt Hood, literally the easiest section of the whole trail, and tell me how you feel after that

Lmao this is an r-slured take.
Walking for two hours burns way more calories than being sedentary for two hours, but guess what, with a base level of fitness you don't even feel like you've exercised.
This is just not true you clearly don't have any data. Walking should be a part of everyone's daily life. The lack of walking in modern life is a large part of why the recommended calorie intakes are so out of date now.

Jump in the discussion.

My employer had a similar program. The "challenge" is handled through Virgin Pulse and it uses your fitbit data to track.
The only reason I started wearing a fitbit was because it's the easiest way to get the minimum number of points for an insurance discount + cash bonuses. Last year my wife and I redeemed the bonuses to buy a new grill
Edit: just logged in for the first time this year. Already earned double the requirement, and by next week I'll have a $100 gift card earned. I don't even have this thing tracking sleep.

Zero coviders are the absolute worst and yet somehow fat zero coviders manage to be worse again.
They all watch infection rates and wastewater numbers and hospitalisation rates like fricking hawks but the second you suggest maybe they should consider their BMI (you know, because of the massively documented link between obesity and covid) your account will get booped on the snoot instantly.
Take any group of people who organise a community around any particular medical issue. There's no faster way of telling whether or not they're full of shit than how quick they are to make excuses about eating multiple pints of ice cream every fricking night.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I still remember when I learned that people actually just eat entire pints of ice cream. I was hanging out with some friends, a few of which are very fat, and they were like "oh we don't really use ice cream scoops we just eat it from the pint". I said well isn't it kinda gross that you're using your spoon (in your mouth), putting it back in the pint, and then eventually putting the pint away.
Turns out they never did that last part.
I have zero empathy for fat people. Just like poor people, I've never met a fat person who wasn't fully responsible for their condition.

fatness and poorness are correlated not because unhealthy food is expensive or some other such nonsense but because they're both caused by laziness and gluttony
