    I mean I get why, if you are wanting a change of scenery, you’d bring your laptop to do some shit, but I wouldn’t like spend more than an hour doing work there because of all the noise, let alone set up a fucking desktop computer.

    I’m confused, according to the documentary idiocracy, the US government is on track to have a president camacho, but Starbucks has pivoted to office space rather than handjobs. Maybe this is the purge they need to get back on track

    I haven’t seen an open power outlet at a Starbucks in over 10 years. They aren’t taken, they are either locked or have been entirely removed.

      I am not one of these people but many find it difficult to work IN their home. They like the separation.

        I can’t imagine. I work at a little desk about a meter from my bed. It’s the best ever.

          My WFH setup is in a room by itself because I absolutely do not want to see it outside of 6:30am-3:00pm.

          Working from home is incredible but I like to have my life and career as separate as possible.

            That was my setup. End of the day I would close the door and not think about work anymore. It’s easy to creep into working 24/7 if your not careful and you really enjoy what you do

            That’s fair! I switch between my game machine and work computer, so at the end of the day, my work computer is disconnected. I have an… interesting job, so most of the day I’m laying in bed watching stuff anyway.

                I knew someone who used to monitor the transmission of porn (TV) channels. Apparently, it was the most boring, soul crushing experience. You lose all interest by about day 3. It also messes with your own love life.

        If a Starbucks is better than home, then some people really need to fucking reassess their damn lives.

          It’s not that it’s better, it’s that it’s different

          It’s like not putting a TV in your bedroom so you associate the room with sleep and other bed activities
