Jesus and I just freaked myself out real real bad due to allergies and unfortunate drug cocktail holy shit that was an extremely unpleasant 45 minutes of my life

so apparently coffee inhibits the enzyme that recycles histamines (and you make histamines when you have allergies)

I woke up today, did gardening, turns out my allergies are back. was making a kettle of hot water for tea and coffee while gardening. aired out the apartment also (aka aired the allergies in)

drank the coffee. then my head felt like it was gonna explode. the inflammation was just squeezing my damned brain. did a bunch of airplane ear pressure maneuvers and it basically cleared up the worst of it. 5 hours later I STILL have porcupine prick feels on my face from the pollen. that's kind of weird generally it takes 1-2 hours for my allergies to subside

made food, had dinner. the EXACT same meal as yesterday with the exact same supplements as yesterday

20 minutes after I eat and put everything away... my nose suddenly clears, my ears are clear. crazy! these have been fucked for like 7 days for me now.
30 minutes. yeah my inflammation went down so much I started cold sweating... adrenaline is pumping. my blood pressure is too low. my stomach is in knots (I only figured out what it was called after lol)

and then was the longest 15 minutes of my recent history. was freaking out, exercising, pacing, trying to keep my blood pressure up.

hahahahaha whoops

allergies > make histamines that cause inflammation
coffee > prevents recycling of histamines, so you get histamine backup all over your body which makes the inflammation even worse
cysteine with dinner > gets converted into glutathione in your body which is a strong anti oxidant. which will reduce inflammation and all the good stuff (though if you OD you'll bleed to death. it's ok tho it's like x10 the normal dose and I take 1/2 the normal dose. I took this yesterday and didn't even feel it!)

well the coffee caused so much inflammation I peed out like 2 litres of water
coffee also apparently makes you make more glutathione than normal!

... so when I ate that cysteine pill... all my inflammation from my cold/flu I've had for 7 days, AND the new discovered allergies, all dropped entirely... and my dehydrated ass' blood pressure dropped... holy fuck that was such a fucking unpleasant experience

I've never been a risk-averse person. one of the things that really attracted me to software is that you can try as many dumb ideas as you want and the only thing it will cost you is time. I grew up poor so that was important. in real life though, being risky is kinda risky. my fast and loose habits suck.

I say this but let's be fair... there is no way for you to predict this. just gotta hope you're strong enough to survive your every day living attempts I guess

lizards want a toxic atmosphere because that's what they're accustomed to

we gon build a nuclear power plant for every AI center. if you don't like skynet, our insurance policy is you gotta make a nuclear meltdown

either AI rules you into surveillance panopticon slow maiming submission, or you nuke your atmosphere. either case, lizards win!

it's the rust bracket pipes all over again

if I see an ad for your business I will remember it and I will never buy from you

why is it people think being annoying rapey cunts is how you make loyal customers. I didn't come here to see ads. you try selling me something, that ensures I'll avoid buying from you. was I looking for you motherfucker? no. you've already failed to serve me and my needs. I'd hate to see how well you do it if I pay you for something.

it will be fast, I said
it will be clean, I said

it was neither of those things

readable just means "write it in the way I typically write / understand it in"

which makes it a confusing moving target of whatever the local consensus is... and I don't think these people are self-aware of this fact then just get mad at others for not "getting it" automatically, bah

my phone bill is more expensive some reason. which is strange because that's illegal to do

they're like if you want to see bill details log in. ok I did. I see nothing mentioning it. check my last few bills emails. it's been 5$ more expensive since the new year.

actually I have a 1gb data plan and if I Google up good mobile plans this exact same provider is advertised as giving you 60gb data for 45$. I used to pay 47$ for 1 GB but now I'm paying 52$ for 1 GB it seems

yeah I think I'm going to go with a different company. I literally don't even use my phone unless the power goes out or something. I don't even want to be paying 50$ for something I'm not using. maybe you shouldn't have tried to illegally increase my pricing and then you could've kept me paying. dunno. byyyee

why are operating systems so beautiful 🤤

what do you think about programmer surpemacy

I'm such a successful software developer that today I have deleted 3 major repositories 🎉

I think I have like 12 more to go. less is more

> go into a codebase to add something simple
> rewrite 90% of it, breaking it in multiple different ways then fixing them
> too annoyed to add the simple thing
> leave
thanks for all the fish

an AI programmer telling you coding with AI makes you a x10 engineer is like someone telling you autocomplete makes them a x10 novelist

what's the most fascinating book you've read?

power outage, raaaghhh

I love having a brain

instead of being confused you can just see the magnificent complexity behind everything

it's so addicting and beautiful

ew, python

i have a bunch of archived projects and I have NO recollection of writing them despite them being complex

😖

trying to find a script I knew I had and I don't even know where it is. goddammit

*goes on a deleting spree*

I hate organizing random stuff. my OCD inclinations scream at me but I never enjoy organization. why can't it all just self organize

I also want a search feature for all my old repos. grrrrr

this just feels like such a disaster. I made a git backup script for my external HDD but I don't think that script backed up the archived projects... of which there's evidently 6 damned pages. why do we produce so much code. how

zzzz...

think descriptive function names and doc comments are necessary for AI so it can tell what code is doing

boooring

we keep increasing complexity and making ourselves disabled

uurrrggfhhhh need a alert / notification system

for Android and Linux devices

why is tech a mess

might just opt in to use emails but actually Android is so damned bad it actually refuses to give me notifications for emails now. I hate existence

you'd think this would be a basic thing

we live in a magical universe. don't forget it!

think people should be talking about responsibility instead of "altruism" or trying to shame people for not being selfless enough or how some selfish motivation for being selfless means it's invalid... zzzz. seems so self destructive

the more I run into broken software the less embarrassed I get at the idea of software I make possibly being broken

I have like 5 things broken in a row now. I keep finding alternative ways to meet my goals but finding more things broken... because people are just releasing broken software... to basically prod

if this is the state of man I am a better herald

the dark age?

more like the privacy age!

when you think you're being helpful

are there benefits one gets from having their egos stroked? is it s gift of some kind?

what if you never die

what if you're constantly, with every conscious decision, on a choose your own adventure ride

what would you choose 👀

lol the solution to "ohno if I try this everything goes fuck" happening with everything

is to do all the everything's that make it go fuck _at the same time_

and then somehow all the problems solve themselves

life does have a sense of humour

I have seen many debates on how children are taught but rarely about what they are taught. This reminds me of my mother who used to tell Jehovah’s Witnesses knocking on the door that ‘we’re Church of England’. We weren’t and our family never saw the inside of a church except for weddings and funerals (thank you God). But my mother had sorted out our official spirituality with the holding position of ‘we’re Church of England.’ In the same way, most people don’t question what is taught in schools any more than my mother thought about religion. It was like just ‘there’. We lived in England and it had a Church so ‘we’re Church of England’ was enough without delving into detail, thank you. Most people treat education just the same. It’s a school and that’s enough delving into detail, thanks very much. What goes on there? They have lessons and stuff. What lessons and stuff? Well, they’re taught what they need to know. And what’s that? Well, lessons and stuff. Phantom Self has an image of how things are, an image supplied by the program, but for the most part knows or seeks precious little detail about anything
