I had a similar conversation with a friend in college who alleged that waking up after 9am meant that you are lazy. In all cases. Period.
Stayed up until 3am partying with your friends? Better still be up by 9.
Took the Redeye which didn't land until 5am? Oof, enjoy your few hours remaining but don't sleep in...
Work a double shift through the night until 8am? Did I fucking stutter, you can only sleep until 9am, you useless fuck!
Idk... seems silly and arbitrary.
Is that a lack of empathy? Like they literally can’t comprehend anything other than their own lived experiences. I’ve noticed a scary number of people are “the only moral abortion is my abortion” type. Like they don’t care about anything unless it affects them. Cant think of a worse character trait.
In this case, I think it was more indoctrination of a rule her dad set that she never questioned.
My wife and i just had this convo/research about our kids. The concept is "sleep supportive family."
I came from sleep supportive, she did not. We had to settle out differences on how to handle that for our kids and decided she'd cross over to the sleep supportive side.
When we got married, she'd be waking me up at 830 because it was "time to wake up" like i didnt just put in a 60 hour week. Glad shes come around now
Not to mention all the shift workers. My SO is a nurse on an afternoon shift, they rarely wake up before noon.
But apparently, to your "friend", my SO is a worthless sack.
Neat.
My job doesn't even start until 2pm, fuck am I waking up early for?
This fails to consider edge cases such as many here have brought up. The implication is that folks who choose to sleep in are less productive than folks who don’t, not that folks who must sleep later for logistical reasons such as shift work are less productive.
So yeah this is poorly written.
I wasn't implying anything of the sort, but ok.
Sorry, I mean this meme fails to consider edge cases. You're just taking it as written.
