On: Modern action films fetishize the body even as they desexualize it

[ipaddr]

At my salary I would welcome serving coffee while everyone is in the standup.

A quote that I picked up from my grandfather, "They pay me the same no matter what they've got me doing."

[mavhc → scruple]

I'd rather be doing something that will lead me to get paid more in the future, learning new skills

[necovek → mavhc]

I optimize the way I put dishes in the dishwasher, I design my own closets so I'll have the best design for what I do every day (i.e. clothes I use regularly are close by) — eg. I hang my t-shirts because it's faster than folding them — etc.

There are things that can be optimized in serving coffee too!

And when you had enough, you can just start serving terrible coffee :D

[TheCoelacanth → necovek]

Those things can be optimized, but the payoff for that optimization is pretty low.

[bloodorange → TheCoelacanth]

That depends on how you measure the payoff.

[dorgo → ipaddr]

Maybe they don't pay you enough if they can afford to waste your skills by making you serving coffee.
