@@dense_and_dull I would have to say the vast majority of times a coworker or peer has told me that they are dreaming about a project or work, it is with a distinct negative connotation of "this concept is taking over my life and I can't escape it even when the only thing I want in the world is for everything to turn off" It's not a good feeling if you can't catch a break from whatever in life may be stressing you out or wearing you down.

[@T0NI_]

@@dense_and_dull Ah, so we agree then, that I made a single assumption, and not "a lot"? And my experience with games following me into dreams may be anecdotal, but it's a pattern I've seen many times both across the internet and in my real life friends and family. I'm saying it's not healthy because all the people I've known to have this happen have been playing for an amount of time that I would classify as "being addicted", and even if it is simple entertainment, addiction is not good

As someone who has had dreams about being at work it's a suprise that people found what hasanabi said strange, it's not uncommon if you spend the vast majority of your day at work or thinking about future work

[@donovan.d]

Even more so when you love your work, are pationate abiut it, and/or work comes home with you (ie. as an educator - be it youre wrapping up on some form of notes, doing prep, etc. or having/choosing to do any form of professional development). At this point I'd say almost all my dreams are work related, be it in more direct means where I'm actually counseling students orsome sort of abstract sorta dream where students and/or staff are there, but I'm not doing actual work. At yhisb point it's just a normal part of my day-to-day life and one I'm totally chill with

The question about sitting at a computer for 10 hours a day also applies to work from home jobs that are PC based. I got inflamed nerves in my hips/legs three times within a few years that were so painful I needed prescription strength anti--inflammatory meds to help cure it, along with special cushions for my chair. I also need to make excuses to get up and do something on my feet once every few hours of work and to keep repositioning every 10 to 15 minutes or I risk doing it again. I think the issue isn't sitting for 10 hours a day and more a lack of movement outside of those 10 hours. If you exercise for an hour a day and sit for 10, I don't think that's necessarily unhealthy. It's a balance.

[@murtadhaAlhusne]

yep i was like don't almost all devs do this on a daily basis? + what you said

[@von...]

yeah, had to learn this one the hard way. About a year ago when I went to the gym for the first time after joining the work force like 3 years prior, I realized I was able to squat more weight my junior year of HS (aka 16-17) than I could at 25. Scared the shit outta me & now I am much more well rounded with my lifestyle. Still though WFH is goated & I would choose it over a 15% pay bump almost always.

[@Cantrona]

Yeah I try to incorporate dance breaks between meetings just to keep the blood flow going haha

[@Kriss_941]

Have you considered a sit/stand desk? If you ask your workplace they might even help you pay for it... And by ask I mean propose that they help you fund it and put forth the arguments for why you need it and how it actually benefits them. For example you wouldn't need to take as many breaks during the day making you more efficient, it would help improve your overall health and prevent unnecessary absence due to illness etc.

[@zarvix3555]

@@Kriss_941 Yeah, I've tried the standing desk and even the treadmill under the standing desk. Due to an unrelated injury when I was a kid, my legs are slightly different lengths; not enough for special shoes/insoles but enough to impact standing for long periods. For me, standing on legs that are slightly different lengths causes my knees, hips and spine to sit crooked when standing in one place without moving much for more than and hour or two. That led to more pain overall with a standing desk and swapping back and forth would happen once every hour and I felt I was spending so much time going between sitting/standing that 5 minute breaks every 2 hours was about the same amount of time. Walking is easier so the treadmill idea I thought would help but my job is super detail oriented and the movement while walking made the mouse control incredibly difficult. I do have a side business and I do some quick chores around the house during those breaks. Starting a load of laundry, filling the sink to do dishes, pouring a candle layer, prepping grocery lists, cleaning a countertop real quick, etc are all things I do real quick during my breaks. I'm just lucky that my job doesn't have tons of meetings so I can easily multi-task and make use of my time I can't be at my PC doing work. But for most, yeah, I'd recommend a standing desk or treadmill under a standing desk to stay active during typically sitting-only jobs. It just doesn't work for me for other reasons.

it makes a lot of sense. also its not like forsen, xqc, dr disrespect, tyler1, etc etc will ever come. This group of hasan lud and rae is really good

[@Vexlich]

As a chatter, this has been very enjoyable to watch from the streamers perspective

[@ccorndog]

I think my perspective changed towards hasan, i enjoy watching rae and ludwig but i guess ive never really thought deep about hasan because my first thought of hasan was that hes huge political streamer that yells at 13 year olds online.. which that thought actually hasnt changed.. But sometimes I forget that streamers/content creators are human.

[@phos927]

Basically anyone who has met him IRL has said they love him. Recently he went to Australia and Anything4Views said he hated him before meeting him and really wanted to hate him IRL as well but they hit it off really well. Im biased as fuck because im a fan of his and share his political views, but most of the shit that makes him look bad as a human is incredibly out of context and you can see that from just watching him interact with real humans irl

[@milquetoasty__]

It's hard for me to care about him at all when he directly came out and said streaming is way harder than having a normal 9-5 and people who work "normal jobs' don't actually have it that bad. Absolutely brain dead take imo

[@phos927]

@@milquetoasty__ Its funny you bring that up because thats literally an example of an out of context clip. He has a video on his channel that shows how that entire thing came up. He said streaming takes more out of his social battery, not that its a harder job, and someone clipped it out of context and uploaded it on LSF literally 10 minutes after he finished the argument. He has worked a "real job" before and he said its obviously more physically taxing, but streaming for 10 hours a day kills his social battery and he cant hang out with friends later, while he could do that when he was working in sales. He never said streaming was a harder job, he just said that its more socially exhausting.

[@nicelittlestyleslad]

​@@milquetoasty__ they talked about that on the most recent fear& pod with anythingforviews. in that ep hasan himself says it's evident by the fact that he isn't still working his old 9-5 job that streaming is easier than real work. the original point was that you can shut off your brain after leaving work whereas streamers are constantly "on" and socially draining. but that the obvious financial benefits of streaming are completely worth it, esp since he personally enjoys it so much

[@MJsPepsihair]

Mostly yelling at 30 year olds actually. He does a streaming census and he's got a very old community by Twitch standards. Not surprising due to the content

[@llsilvertail561]

Praying for u then 🙏

[@georgetriantafyllidis6525]

I've been watching him for about 2 years now (exclusively on KZbin) and I love putting on videos even if I don't even care or know about the subject just to hear him speak and explain stuff his really great way. I've also noticed recently that he's actually helped me better my vocabulary and sentance constraction in English since it's not my first language.

Thank you Ludwig for hosting this group interview. 😎

[@Skypost4ever]

This is a great video. Im familiar with all 3 but have never been a part of their communities. I watch Hasan videos on KZbin and the occasional Ludwig click bait whenever KZbin puts his videos in my recommendations. These three people know their positions and i find them to be somewhat humble about it. They definitely give back and help support others.

Tik Tac Toe is actually a *perfect* game to choose against an alien invader. It is provably unwinnable despite who goes first, so you end up stalling and stalling forever, until relations improve and the aliens + humans learn to coexist. I love that answer!

[@canono43]

I like how Ludwig is describing the plot to the movie pixels at 27:00

[@nashiora]

I don't think I've ever watched Hasan, and honestly I don't think I will much in the future either, but this video has let me know I really appreciate what he does and why. I may never be a regular viewer, but I'm incredibly on board with his mission, how he carries himself and what he values.

[@selfawarepotassium]

I’ve watched a reasonable amount and it seems like a lot of hate towards him comes from clips taken out of context. Or atleast that’s the majority of what I see in comments sections.

[@murtadhaAlhusne]

yep i love him as a person and I've tried to watch him whether on KZbin vods or lives but god i can't And it's for my mental health.

hasan doesn't actually believe the things he says, he does it to get people like you to like him and support him

[@selfawarepotassium]

@@Stazwhat like that he would a vibe with a bear?

[@Blakoss]

@@Staz yeah problem with political streamers is that they have to appease the audience to make their income. You cant really trust the opinions of someone whos being paid to have those opinions, even if he started off as genuine. If he believes something that goes against the common belief of his audience, he risks losing a good portion of them so he is a slave in a way to whatever opinion is popular and socially acceptable at the time
