your comment hits pretty close to home for me, too. This is my life right now.

Since I'm a Site Reliability Engineer we don't get the freedoms some developers get in regards to working times (I'm sure there are some companies which are fine, but coming in a midday all the time would probably not go over well anyway.)

I wonder why nightowls get such a bad rap, and why every human must do things at the same time, it's a strain on public transport and places to buy lunch etc; it reeks of an awful inefficiency for the sake of consistency and little else (maybe social interaction? I don't socially interact though..)

Because most people equate conformity with morality. If you're Not Like Us you are the hated them.

I wonder if which will come first. Humans settling the distinction between ethics and morality, or the sun going red giant and melting the earth...

Humans will be gone long before the sun. Pessimistically, we'll extinct ourselves within the next few centuries. Optimistically, any remnant progeny of ours will be so distant from us today that they'll take the idea that they're descended from filthy animals (us) as as much of an affront as creationists re: our primate descent.

... And those smartasses who say we come descended from humans! Is that your culture and heritage? That's not my culture and heritage!

Even folks well versed in the English language have trouble defining the two words (ethics and morals) in relation to each other.

I'm guessing the earth will melt first.
