People still take anything the World Health Organization determines seriously? 馃

@SW-User This piece of news gives me mixed feelings:
1- Everything is a medical condition nowadays.
2- Work has become a totally dehumanized activity

I think they are not contradictory.

@Cierzo Therein lies the problem. If everything is a medical condition then nothing is a medical condition.

Concerning the 2nd point, as an example, there have been recent reports about how poor the working conditions are for game developers working for AAA companies and publishers. It's borderline illegal what they have to go through just to make ends meet. You have publishers and companies reporting record profits to their investors on one hand then axing hundreds of employees and finally forcing those that remain to work harder to make up for the reduced workforce. It's crazy. They are a mere statistic, not actual people, to these companies.
