Just the seat?

I often wonder what the challenge is for some guys to hit the urinal and not all over the floor beneath it.

I believe work is closer to slavery. Maybe not a slave in a plantation but you'd be surprised to find out how much freedom a household slave in ancient Rome used to have. As in classic slavery, the scope of modern slavery exceeds the employer-employee relationship. It has to do with the entire social economic culture. Individuals are encouraged to spend and consume, these provide steam to the engines of the human society, which in turn creates jobs for individuals and products for them to consume.

I believe this is what the movie Matrix is talking about. Human batteries power the ever-present machine.

A century ago workers regularly worked a 60-hour week, ten hours a day for six days. There were no vacations, Sundays off was strictly so people could go to church. Leisure time was something for the rich. The rest of us had no lives, and no lifestyles.

I don't consider myself a slave at all. I love the modern era.

They can't aim because they're too fat to see the trajectory.

Well they all had lifestyles, just some were more comfortable and affluent than others.

Never thought of that. You may be onto something there.

You do have a choice. When I was younger I had the work life balance completely wrong. I would work 45-60 hours a week and life outside of work was rubbish. All I knew was work and stress. Now, I work 38-40 hours a week, earn a good salary with company car, am happily married and really have little to complain about. And yes, I live in England although if I was back home then my quality of life would be even better.
