>Some team members output has severely dropped. I've seen people playing video games during work hours for example. Also work and free time has mixed to a point where people just randomly take hour or two to go skiing or for a walk and routinely just quit at the normal time.
Dear god, people enjoying their life. This is the worst. Clearly society can't function unless everyone is miserable.
Have you ever considered that maybe the entire 8 hour work day is bullshit? That it is entirely possible for people to contribute productively within different time-frames?
>I'd argue my Quality of Life has gotten significantly worse especially since they closed gyms. Yes, they are now open, but there is also like a meter of snow outside so I probably won't get to the gym until spring actually starts.
What does this have to do with working from home? What could remote work possibly have to do with your inability to stick to a gym routine?
>I'm sure we will lose some people since they want to be 100% remote and that's fine.
You won't "lose some people". Unless your company has the pay and clout that Google has, your company will be decimated by a wave of people quitting.

Have you considered some reading comprehension? Read the first sentence you quoted again and stop pushing your own opinion and gospel.

This too is super disingenious line of questioning. How aobut not being able to go to anywhere else? Feels pretty weird just to drive to the gym and back.

That has nothing to do with working from home though, it has to do with the pandemic. I go places during my lunchbreak in work from home now that there are vaccines and things are open again - it's so convenient, if I need to duck to the store or the chemist or I want to pick up food from a local cafe.
Someone gets called a nazi for being in support of vaccine mandates and your response is "well in a infinitely long conversation everyone will get called a nazi" this is the most hackernews comment I have ever read
Yes follow the Rippletoe routine and get big legs and tiny upper body, this is exactly what every guy who enters the gym is looking for.
I don't know why I always see strength focused routines being promoted when probably 95% of dudes who start working out do so because they want to be ripped.
Do a push/pull/legs routine (I like https://www.themuscleprogram.com/push-pull-legs-workout/ but I do deadlifts on pull day instead of legs day) and eat a massive amount of healthy food (protein, fruits/veggies, good carbs) til you build up that muscle, then do something like intermittent fasting/caloric deficit to drop the fat once you've put on the muscle.
Or go the Rippetoe route and wonder why the dude at the gym next to you is getting more swole even though you're picking up more weight. Your choice!
Lately I've been following a lot of YouTube fitness trainers (mostly Greg Doucette, who's quite a character but has good advice, but also Sean Nalewanyj, Scott Herman and others).
The consensus seems to be that it's not important, and probably a mistake, to eat a massive amount of food - you don't really need to be in a caloric surplus to put on muscle, though it does make it easier. But then you end up with a lot of weight you need to lose, which is not fun.
And besides, for most guys, I think losing weight is actually more important than gaining muscle if trying to look better. Obviously this depends on the person, but being at a low body fat percentage with a regular-ish amount of muscle is a look that's closer to what most people find appealing, as opposed to being heavier but with more muscle (and probably as opposed to having too much muscle, which is also a negative for most people).
Do people on SS get particularly narrow upper bodies? It's not very obvious from SS presenters, videos, etc. With alternated bench press and overhead press, are there groups of muscles that it misses completely?
Social Media should be treated like anything else in life that is addictive and potentially self-destructive: alcohol, drugs, junk food, video games, porn, gambling, online shopping, whatever. Actively moderate and track your usage, and if you ever feel like it's negatively impacting your life, take a step back and think carefully about if you're really still in control.
"It's your fault for believing everything you read on the internet."
I disagree, it's our fault as a society for not allocating proper resources towards education. You can't expect people to understand critical thinking, media/source analysis, etc. if no-one ever taught it to them.
Now, Facebook capitalized on that societal failure point and developed an algorithm that exploited individuals who lack that critical thinking skill by shoving progressively angrier and more unhinged content in front of their eyeballs, and recommending them groups of extreme individuals, therefore normalizing their way of thinking. They did this because they realized content that causes anger, outrage, and fear is extremely effective at keeping people clicking, scrolling, reading, and overall "engaged" which means more data, more ads shown, more money. They basically took the Fox News model and injected pure racing fuel into it.
This, like most issues, cannot be explained by one specific cause, but Facebook absolutely shares the blame.
People are incredibly mean and nasty to each other on nextdoor in my neighborhood, and they literally live down the street from one another.
You're completely right, it's not anonymity that causes people to act like this, it's the fact that we as humans can't perceive text on a screen as another human being that activates the empathy center in our brains. Coronavirus has made this 100X worse as people are losing their humanity being locked away from everyone else.
I've had some of my best social interaction recently on VRChat of all places as it gets the closest of anything I've found so far of making it feel like there's actually a human being in front of you.
People on Nextdoor think their neighbors are all like them and wrongly assume it's a safe space for airing out their worst thoughts. Mine is completely full of naked racism, calls for murdering specific people, etc. There doesn't seem to be a way to fix it because the "leader", basically the moderator, of my Nextdoor is the worst of them.
