    Hey now there’s nothing weird about being completely unable to focus under fluorescent lights.

      For me it can be the opposite, I often focus better with artificial light than with sunlight.

        Because sunlight reminds you of how you could be outside living a meaningful life instead of grueling over shit ass paperwork in a deadend desk job that barely pays you pennies to a dollar…

          Amen to that. And weirdos/evil morons will read your comment and the only solution they’ll see is to take away the hope and not, ya know, pay us more or even give us basic respect.

        me and a friend were talking recently about how we function better at night and summer takes that away. so, a few days ago I covered my window with a blanket which blacked out the window, and use only my lava lamp for light. it has been the most productive, multitasking filled era for me so far.

      I learned recently that not everyone can see the fluorescent flicker. It’s unnerving and feels a bit like being buzzed on caffeine. It’s not so bad in the offices with indirect lighting. Also, cheap LED lights can flicker. I clung to my incandescent lights until they all burnt out.

          It’s supposed to be common that people can catch the flicker in the corner of their eye

            I mean I’ve had her stare at it with me for a couple of minutes and she was adamant she couldn’t see what I saw, i had to take out my phone camera and show her the frame rate flickering
