    Well, 25-30. But the older ladies at the dispatch smoked weed as well. Well few of them did. One liked opiates. Most drank.

    I don’t work there anymore, but it’s somewhat complicated logistics. You arrange school rides for kids and patient rides to hospitals and have to make sure people aren’t late for their planes and trains leaving in the morning.

    It’s just that for the first several hours, it’d be every calm during the night. Sometime around 4am people start leaving for trains, buses, planes. Then around 5-6 you have people going to hospitals. Sometimes they’re disabled and need a taxi that can fit a stretcher. Then it’s the kids after that.

    But like some people like caffeine aa they feel they need more energy to perk up. It’s the other way around for me.

    But yeah thanks though it was fun. I was kinda pissed during corona when they finally took remote work as my home workstation is far superior to what they were when I worked there, and I kept actually using a team viewer connection back then as well (~2012) so could’ve easily done the work from my home.

    And yes you’d might wonder what sort of company allows an employee to install remote control software on their computers?

    A small company with a large turnover which never understood their dispatch center or technology properly.

    But like if you made a poll on some programming community here on how many of them work while high…?

    I know softwares see developers in rather esteemed positions who smoke every day. Not all day necessarily but

    I’ve been high in most jobs I had, every now and then at least.

    Not when driving a taxi, but we used to get insanely high for the night shifts at the taxi dispatch call centre where I also worked with the younger coworkers (<35) I had. As long as you get the necessary shit done, why’d anyone care? The night shifts were boring as fuck, you’d have like a few to a few dozen calls an hour. Meaning that mostly you’re just having to browse the web while waiting.

    And Finns genuinely couldn’t even tell when I’m high as balls, the willfull ignorance in Finnish social interaction is quite strong.

    I can see it being more responsive yes, and all the other benefits he mentions as well.

    It’s just such a different way of controlling the aim of your character that my brain refuses to believe it’s any good. I’ve seen some gamers going with one of those actually large trackballs (whereas the one I was thinking about was like a huge ergonomic mouse which had a trackball on top of it. Not tiny, but not massive and you only used your thumb to move it.

    If you use one of those massive ones you can use your entire hand on, then where’d you click? Like if you don’t click, just aim, then the other hand has to do moving and shooting, and in games like deadlock you’re already kinda full with things you have to manage on kb.

    But yeah I def see your point, thinking of like early 2000’s optical mice. I just a few months ago bought the first wireless mouse for like 20 years. I didn’t trust their speed in gaming (even though I managed to game with the wireless one 20 years ago as well.)

    It’s just it’d take so much getting used to. Like in League I’m jealous of the people who started playing using custom key binds and moving the camera from the keyboard. I think it just is objectively better (because you don’t need to take your cursor away from the enemy to move your screem, etc), but I’m just getting to such an age that I can’t be bothered to learn a completely new control scheme to replace one I be used for more than 10 years.
