Health Stand-Up Desks Gaining Favor in the Workplace.

Although there's a decent homework load in the States and I don't remember having P.E. more than 2-3 times a week throughout my entire schooling, it still sounds a bit more focused on discipline than I personally think it should.

Our system is pretty abysmal when comparing to China, South Korea, and Japan. I have no idea how the competition over those places are, but they are practically much harsher than us.

I probably will say that disencouraging P.E. class may be an overstatement, but the number of P.E. classes decreases to zero when you're going through high school here. I don't know what to say.

Who needs P.E. when you have refreshing past-year papers to go through?
 
We didnt have p.e. more then once a week too.
But we did some awesome things some times.
I really loved going with a canoe through the rivers of my local town. That was a really good time back then.

That's no P.E. That's a field trip! I have not had a school-planned field trip since middle school.
 
Well we did that kind of things in our p.e. class.
How is that a P.E. class? A P.E. class is when you sit in a large, messy group on the floor and your teacher demonstrates how your hands should be positioned when you run, or the different techniques to catch a ball. Then the whole class runs all over the place with some round bouncy thing.

Don't forget getting swamped with those bouncy red balls around you, and running for your lives.
 
Aww, you make it sound like you don't like dodgeball, Tom - you're a fool if that's the case!
 
I liked dodgeball.

In high school I had a cardio class and weightlifting to make up my PE requirements.
 
We had mandatory PE in high school. I guess it's 'cuz there's too many overweight kids over here.
 
I actually have one of these desks at work and I absolutely DO NOT use it like that LOL! The guy who had the desk originally had it but it works perfectly fine normal too.

    I mean I don't really like the government. But I would also prefer to have one than... not have any government. Like we need to have police forces and national welfare systems, but I don't think the cop that is pulling you over for speeding is the same cop that should also be responding to active terror events.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am talking about federal.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    State and local elections I believe in when it comes to governing. Of course the military
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Federal should do military
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The federal government should do the military not the police. I hope Trump gets rid of the income tax
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I hold no hope of Trump getting rid of income tax though.
  • jonas jonas:
    Trump is a wildcard, but in the end, it's the republican party that makes the laws, Trump can only do exec orders
  • jonas jonas:
    I don't think the Republicans will get rid of income tax, at most lower it a little, mostly for people with 6 figures+. But that's just my opinion
  • The Helper The Helper:
    one can dream
  • Ghan Ghan:
    FairTax would be nice.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the electorate would have to demand it and vote people in to do it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Government spending, foreign policy, and the southern border are all bigger issues than the income tax right now I'd say.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    For you those are the bigger issues. Cannabis legalization and get rid of Income tax are mine.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We have so much cannabis up here in Oklahoma. Can't go a block without running into 3 dispensaries. xD
  • The Helper The Helper:
    if the demand is there
  • jonas jonas:
    I think the biggest issue in USA is how divided the country has become
  • Ghan Ghan:
    There's a big split happening in fundamental values that is very worrisome.
  • jonas jonas:
    I think there's always been a split in values. But now there's a split in what reality is. No matter whom you ask, they think a third of the country is insane and wants to destroy the country
  • The Helper The Helper:
    pretty big split

    Dont forget to check out the list of all the recipes on the site at the Recipe Index - I am about to take Ghan up on the offer of making that a site :) https://www.thehelper.net/threads/main-recipes-menu-recipes-index-version-2-0.189517/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We should add that as part of site navigation
  • Varine Varine:
    I just don't think Trump actually understands how the government works. I'm not going to pretend like I can understand the entirety of government but in my industry he kind of caused massive fucking issues. Tarriffs and the international counters had a pretty significant impact on what I do, it was actually kind of interesting to see though. I live in Idaho so I'm not really concerned with it, it'll be R pretty much the entire way down. We do have ranked choice on our ballot this year though and I DO really care about that. But if we are going to have a federal government we kind of need income tax. They could abolish it and tax states I guess, but then states are just going to raise income taxes. It's not really viable without a very significant and holistic overhaul of how the federal government works, and that isn't something I would expect Trump to do.
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't expect Harris to do it either. I want to see wealth and church taxes, but those also aren't things I'm going to hold my breath for.
