I don't struggle with it, I just do it.

Not sure on your age, but as you age you realise it’s not been good for you. Particularly the lower back. I’m 35+. Luckily I’m active in fitness so it could be worse if someone is mainly sedentary.

As someone who was significantly more sedentary, and lived in a environment where I couldn't stand up straight for a few years, yeah, I was getting issues from this around 16+, late 20's now and I have scoliosis and an asymmetry of my thorax...

Robot backs when?

If you don't mind me asking, what was the environment? That sounds miserable.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 21 hours ago

I’m sorry that happened to you.

It would be nice if this kind of thing was taught in schools, like life skills. I do wonder if I would have paid attention as you kind of feel invincible as a kid.

I guess it's hard enough staying still so I usually shift around a bunch. I haven't noticed any back problems yet. I have been trying to improve my posture the past year or so.
