Lemmy needs to distinguish itself with character-level voting. Somebody made a great post but unironically used an interrobang? Hit 'em right in the analytics.
For some chronic illnesses. Yeah. But imagine that for life. And that’s the best you feel. It can get worse. Sometimes for long periods, you don’t know if you will get back even to the that “shitty best you feel”. And even at your best, you barely feel a fraction as good as a healthy person.
You don’t get to feel okay your birthday, or on christmas, or when you need to do something special. You just feel ill, like a bad hangover or bad flu, in perpetuity.
That’s the reality for a lot of severe chronic illnesses.
Combining "company quarterly review" with "dental cleaning", while time efficient, is a kind of sensory combo that's right up there with "nuts and gum". Sounds great until you think it through a bit.
Edit: I've actually done the latter by accident. 1/10 - "I don't know what I expected."
That looks a lot more expensive than just a VR headset and a recliner or bed you likely already own. And in VR you can pick whether it's 3 monitors, or one seamless curved triple-wide, no matter what you own in real life. And you can keep the monitor(s) with you when you stand up if you want.
But, what I'm curious about... how is this a "shoes on" occasion?
it's not a sounding tool, it's a "i have significant trouble getting or staying up, or significant trouble with urinary continence, or both: and have a penis, and do not want to use a traditional catheter" tool. dad used them when he was dying and losing control of (all of) his muscles so he wouldn't wet the bed at night at 65. it's basically a condom that, instead of having a little bubble for semen at the end, it has a non-inserted catheter, so you can urinate into it. they make at-home catheter management a lot easier, as foleys only safely last a month to my knowledge.
When I see this I think of the week I worked flat on my back with sciatica. It was literally a pain my neck as I turned my head sideways to look a laptop on the side on the floor.
So I see a guy with bad sciatica, but a more comfortable work setup.
Pro tip: Add a background image to your video conference for privacy.
Most unsettling part here is toilet paper positioning (if not cat owner).
The toilet paper is loaded backwards
Every time my ex would reload, she loaded it this way. Every time I found it this way, I would reverse it
I’m pretty sure this was a contributing factor in my parents divorce.
Excuse me, that's the best way to load toilet paper. The best overall, however, is a bidet. Ascend, my child.
Is there a way on Lemmy to downvote and upvote at the same time?
The first part of your statement says you should up your meds, the second part is lucid though.

What did you just say about the interrobang‽
What's an interrobang‽
"Exquisite use of an interrobang, good sir. I doff my fedora to thee."
As a cat owner, you’ll never catch my rolls in this blasphemous position. Kitty’s getting misted if he confuses hanging TP as a toy
So it would look like you are chest deep in a toilet. It's the way I prefer it anyway.
none of these there's not enough crying
Cat owner… my stupid bois have found a way to empty the roll even when it’s placed like that. Nothing is safe.
Bend the cardboard roll on the inside so it becomes oval-shaped. That way it doesn't keep unrolling if they pull on it
That would not stop a cat
The toilet paper is correctly installed
A bonus is you can invite your dental hygienist over and have your teeth cleaned while you work
chokes to death on coffee
Dies by monitor to face
At least he died doing what he loved. Being in a Teams call about interdepartmental efficiencies.
I bet they were laughing too before pretending to be mad
yeah, i bet they were trying to think of ways to reject it for op but approve it for themselves
I don’t think people realise that these setups (less exaggerated) are usually for disabled or chronically ill people unable to sit up.
So me on a Wednesday morning after a questionable amount of moonshine the night before?

That's me today! I'm playing my favorite game: chronic illness or acute illness?
this does no look confortable
If you use both hands to type the mouse would either fall off or be damgling from its cord
I think it's a trackball stuck in place but I could be wrong
Congratulations, you made it worse.
Indeed even worse
Use a trackball and tape the base to the desk?
Tiny jet engine that thrusts uphill to counteract gravity whenever your hand isn't on the mouse
Electromagnets engage when you release the mouse.
Can get a dental cleaning during meetings, awesome

together at last!
Put a big hole in that incline and your proctologist can do their thing too!
How's Eternal Death Slayer 3 coming along, JP?
Do you like my music?
You would if you had ROBOT EARS
Mmmm beeb boop please sit on my face mmmm
Im thinking about getting robot legs. Its a risky procedure
thud oh sorry, brb..... my mouse just slid off my table.
You would probably want a wired mouse for this one... maybe it could work like a bungee?
Or a trackball mouse that's secured in place.
I think someone should invent a magnetic mouse
Doubles as a hospital baby delivery bed, so you can work through labor.
Oh America, what will you think up next?
Why isn’t this the standard?
Because the mouse falls off the table the second you start typing.
Magnetic mouse?
If there's one thing I like it's resistance as I move my mouse
A trackball mouse attached to the desk is the obvious solution. Velcro would work.
This is why you have the mouse grafted to the employee's hand for optimal efficiency
Magnets, bro, how do they work? /s
trackball mouse solves this probelm, been using one for years and it's a game changer for weird setups like this lol

Work dress code.
Hehe, fair.
Good luck getting up to pee.
Plenty of places to hang a catheter
they make these things called condom catheters
I wish I didn't know what words are.

I would just fall asleep
But the desk blocks me from accessing my penis????
There's a peripheral for that.
This is a poorly designed masturbatorium
Nap?! This is not the place for a nap
You can't see it so you probably wouldn't be aware of its existence
100% my S/O's goals
For when you really need to post on Lemmy from the dentist's chair.
Buddy I just did that today from my bed threw the laptop aside and slept 30 minutes more. Luckly I don't use my cam for meetings.
all fun and games until thr back of the monitor falls off
"Sorry, I didn't see him"
When I see this I think of the week I worked flat on my back with sciatica. It was literally a pain my neck as I turned my head sideways to look a laptop on the side on the floor.

I would say it in Stephen Hawking's voice.
looks like it would also be a hell of a standing desk. and on wheels?
