I believe I was called?

Unfortunately it’s just not that simple. 40% of workers in the EU sit for their job (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/ddn-20190305-1) and I’d hazard a guess that the majority of those will be in offices that give you a standard computer chair and desk. Most people just don’t have control over their work environment to be able to do that.

Totally agree, however, with getting up and moving about - I feel like shit at the end of the day if I don’t go for a walk at lunchtime. Used to get weird looks when I worked in the office and said I was going out instead of staying at my desk.

I’ve actually worked in shops when I was younger, ones that sold furniture and cheese, which for someone as sheltered as me was shocking - took me about two days to recover!

Jokes aside, I totally understand these jobs exist but what I meant was that the OP picked some weird jobs to support their backwards ass point.

I’m sorry, you count “selling furniture” or “making cheese” as normal jobs? Call me sheltered but I’ve gone over 30 years on this planet and never met anyone who’s done either lol.

I’m sorry officer, but speed limits don’t apply when the solo to Free Bird kicks in

You’re making a great decision! It’s more expensive than regular mayo but jeez is it worth every penny. We have a Korean shop near us which stocks it at lower prices than regular supermarkets, so we go and stock up occasionally

It’s absolutely different, a much deeper and more umami flavour! We used to just use it for Asian type dishes that called for it but it’s so good that we’ve essentially replaced normal mayo with it at this point

Normal mayo (like Hellmann’s or Heinz) is fine and all, but goddamn Kewpie mayo is the shit. It’s easily top 3 readymade condiments in our fridge; we’ve always got a bottle on the go!

That was a genuinely interesting read and I can’t quite get over the figures involved. Sure, you hear of people earning big money on only fans but $13 million is wild. Appreciate that’s only a tiny percentage but I’ve seen CEOs of well known companies that take home far less than that per year.

I do wonder how it’s all sustainable though - I guess for the individuals maybe not but as long as there’s a fresh influx of creators and consumers, the company can keep running ad infinitum.
