I spent my entire childhood bent over on the floor working--sorting lentils, sewing clothes, doing homework, art projects... having a bed separate from my parents and a chair is amazing *_*

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

... yeah, I'll qualify the no-table thing with noting I have a strong predisposition towards, like, making impromptu ones with books and stuff. Bending over the floor is bad, that's what book/pillow/box/whatever piles are for. Maybe one or two of those breakfast table thingjiggers. I could totally see how doing the floor thing without having access to proper cushioning and support and whatnot would lead to an affection for chairs and tables and suchlike. That would be fairly painful and probably pretty ruddy awkward.*

Spending a lot of time in chairs and such is actually what's pushed me in the other direction, heh. Soooo much more comfortable when you can construct your own personally fitting accouterments out of nearby materials and rearrange as situation demands. Really well fitted chairs would probably be in the same category, but those are a helluva' lot more expensive than a buncha' pillows or whatev'.

*E: Sweet bloody hell I just noticed the other context for that. Actually not intentional, for once. Freaking headache.

My joints have never permitted me to be comfortable on the ground. I seem to be physically incapable of assuming a position that does not leave at least one of muscles painfully stretched or compressed, joints aching, bloodflow obstructed, or muscles quickly exhausted (other than full-on lying down, which is impractical in many situations). So, yeah, chairs are nice. Reminds me of another reason to be glad grade school is long in my past - there's a lot of social expectations for that sort of thing, for instance in gym, that just aren't present as an adult.

EDIT: Although ever since the leg surgery I mostly can't feel one of my knees, so I can put weight on it while kneeling with no problems. So that's the one exception but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't actually do that just because it doesn't hurt.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Yeah, just... sitting on the ground is kinda' painful and awkward (unless you find a nice nook in a hill that fits nice, or something along those lines. That can be really comfy.). Is why you don't do that. Floor is good -- provides flat surface. From there, bedding! If you want height, stack up a couple body pillows or somethin', maybe on top of a sturdy box. Sit. Back support, bedding throne against wall. Arm rest, blanket/pillow pile, probably against something with a little weight to it (box of books, wall, whatev'). You fit your environment to you and then roll around in it until it remembers the shape of your flesh. I can, have, and will again at some point in the future basically constructed scaled down chaise lounges out of spare bedding to lounge on. Exceedingly comfortable.

Same sort of process that drives a cushion fort, except it's, like. A cushion couch/chair/table/whatever. The advantage over actual furniture is fitting (much easier and less expensive to make something you-shaped out of bedding than straight up furniture), space (your one pile of bedding probably takes up less space than a bed and can replace close to every piece of furniture in the house on demand), probably cost, and enjoyment (nesting is totes fun, yo'). Probably other stuff. Significant disadvantage is it's totally socially abnormal :-\ Also a little more effort than premade furniture, I guess. Probably some other stuff.

... and now you know why some people commit misdemeanors and whatnot to get put in jail for the winter, poh.

But yeah, I've actually seen worse off around here, a few times. Much less of an issue since it's florida and cold is not the problem, but...
