I'm up to give it a shot, but I think the bigger issue is that I wouldn't be able to play until pretty late your time.

I mean... it is how the company thinks, so either way you're not seeing the cool ideas designers thought about, but cool ideas the designers talked about that lent themselves to fucking you over and were compatible with the company, in the end.
So you're not wrong. But I understand the whole "I'm sad I'm becoming a cynic" thing (didn't help that my first non-internship job ended partly 'cause the company was out to fuck a % of employees over).

That whole price discussion reminds me of how I freak out whenever I look at American prices for Magic cards (post-conversion, it's up to 30% higher than Europe prices basically), and think "we're so much cheaper" rather than "we're so much less expensive."
In the end I spend ~4 hours to optimise cards and where I get which to find the combined smallest card prices+smallest amount of sellers, and I'm happy because I cut something like 25% off cards cost, but I'm still spending 60€ on what's only 3/4th of an EDH deck's non-basics.

You're only happy to only spend 1.15€ on that one card till you note that there are 60+ others in the deck... and then shipping also comes in.
Hobby's expensive, man. Though like Req's, I can just tell myself "pay 10€ to draft the evening and have memories and leftover cards, or pay 10€ for a 2-hours movie and only have memories afterward?" to relativise.

At that point isn't it simpler for you to go to bed much earlier, get up around 6:30/7 AM, play a couple games with them then hit the gym when they go to bed?

When you pick up a website/application from another company, usually it goes like this:
"Hey boss, this shit is poorly done and it's a hassle to work with, we're spending more time than necessary because of it. How 'bout we re-write it properly and win out in the long run?
- Does it work as is?
- Yes, it's just so much slower for us to-
- In that case the client won't want to spend time seeing no progress even if it's faster in a long run he's not even conceptualising right now. Keep working with the garbage."

RIP dreams
But the threshold is when you've been working 6+ months on the project and when a newcomer or intern needs something explained, you do it, agree that it's bad, and proceed to also explain that it can't be fixed because there's no immediate benefit to the client.
It's like these movies with the new lawyer full of ideals ewho has to become a shark. You learn to code well, want to create stuff properly and make it clear, reusable, etc. because that's how it ought to be done, then operational priorities make you not do it then tell other people not to do it either. The loss of innocence and you've become part of the system. ;_;

It takes me like an hour to become a functional human being and I'm a log that loves sleeping ;(. I can get up at that time when the need arises like 7am tests we had meant I had to get up at 5:30 to make it but doing that as a normal routine would kill me.

I wonder if gym is more busy at that time. It's gotten rather busy this week. Yesterday there were gaggles of what I assume were school girls everywhere. Rather frustrating because they form these clumps that sit there chatting half the time. Didn't have my earphones either to just get into the zone. Then today it was rather busy but thankfully not many groups. Were these two amazingly fit girls(how the freak do you tell if some of these women are women or girls???) doing idk what by the squat area. They were just like chilling on the leg press casually doing 1 leg with no weights while chatting perma. A bit annoying... Like cool you really hot and wearing some real hot stuff but please we trying to do some work here.

Lol, its the worst when it's leg day since my gym only has 1 leg press machine. Leg machines are the worst social gathering spots, because not only do they have friends talking to them, texting, doing 1 rep a minute, or they are on their phone, going even slower, cruising IG, or setting up their next gym pic. Makes me want to skip leg day altogether 95% of the time.

New Broscience video out woooooo
