DARPA unleashed the deadliest bioweapon and psyop since the bubonic plague.
COVID-19 and the vaccines that destroy healthy immune systems.
The majority of people don't notice?
What happened after the 2020 vaccine rollout:
- The RCMP and goverment lie about a trucker protest against the vaccine being dangerous and carrying weapons in their trucks. CSIS testified in court that there was no evidence. RCMP had no evidence.
- The CDC and media backpedal and says "We never said the vaccine was safe and effective" as people die in their sleep, or hiking from heart attacks.
- Prices soared and the majority of people cannot afford quality meat and food
- Bovaer: a super toxic chemical they put in cow feed that causes infertility of breathed in by humans
- Apeel: Apeel is an edible, plant-based coating developed by ‘Apeel Sciences’, a California-based company founded in 2012. It’s made from monoglycerides and diglycerides—fatty acids derived from plant sources like grapeseed oil, soy, or other seeds.
- Health Canada has approved the sale of animal-free milk protein, which is produced using a genetically modified yeast strain, marking a significant step in alternative protein options in Canada. This approval allows for the development of various products like cheese and yogurt that mimic traditional dairy without using animals.

What else am I missing? How many CIA/DARPA bots on this site will instantly respond to discredit my view? The same thing that happens on reddit?20 -
Help me out, am I right wing or left wing?
- I am okay with closed borders and throwing people out who are here illegally.
- I am even okay with open borders and letting everyone in who wants to come.
- I am not okay with dozens over dozens of ways of staying in a country and becoming a citizen after arriving illegally which are just a backdoors, so that we can still claim that we don't have open borders while they are defacto open.71 -
this website has like, connections to AlpineJS, jQuery, 3 different web font providers, calling some WordPress theme CSS from another website, uses TailwindCSS v2, inline styles, the fuckin head tag's content is almost 400 lines of fuckin code.
I can't help but laugh and feel sorry for the poor soul who had to build this. Was clearly in over his head.3 -
Just submitted my first bounty PR. Waited 3+ weeks to hear anything back from maintainers.
Jumped in their discord and politely asked for a review.
Maintainers said, "tomorrow".
Thank them for their time
Waited an extra 3 days, asked again. Maintainers ignore me in Discord but happily tend to everyone else's PR
Get tired of waiting, being ghosted
Close PR
Delete branch
Leave comment saying "haven't heard anything, deleting this and taking it with me"
Leave discord

Don't waste time on people who won't give a moment of theirs2 -
My colleagues are really addicted to Pokémon. They took their lunch break at 10:00 to go to shop because the pokémon cards are restocked today at 10:00. Now half of the team eats their lunch while working cuz their lunch break is already used lol
Also, the company doesn't even measure the breaks. They usually take multiple smoke breaks totalling over 1h each day. Nobody complains about that. Idk why they suddenly care about the duration of their lunch break2 -
yay, the deadline has been pushed back to an undefined time next year. Senior dev admitted that his approach is wrong and we will work on documentation & set clear expectations with the shareholders & define what endpoints the project needs... Literally those things I did warn him about and he ignored previously.
The stress is now a lot lower, sadly still a lot of stress from my private life :[6 -
My senior dev pushed the backend on lab finally. It's even worse than expected.
- No documentation
- 1 query that retrieves data
- the one query is not even usable in our application without changes
- the total of 1 record that is able to fetched
- somehow misses queries he demo'ed in a meeting more than a month ago4 -
2025/6 is the year contrast dies.
Apple, obviously, with liquid glass (AKA, "I can't see what's on top or bottom!")
But now also, trying out Visual Studio 26, everything is just a slightly different shade of gray.
Won't anyone think of the clarity?! We have reached the point where we are so biased towards form over function, that our form is no longer functional! Bring back contrasting shades of colors in UI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!7 -
Seen it done wrong so many times makes me wonder what it may look like if done right. What are your thoughts on "micro-services" and maybe specifically "AWS Lambdas"?5

Job market's gotten way worse. No joke: now, every job I interviewed for requires this:
1) Interview with HR
2) Interview with Hiring Manager
3) Personality test
4) Technical test
5) Interview with CEO
Only if all steps passed and vetted, then ok. It's like we're on a zero-trust policy now. Now even mom&pop shops want technical tests. Tf.14 -
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Whenever I interview, it takes me almost 3/4 of the allotted time to grasp the problem. I don't know if it's because I am truly dyslexic, or if I'm really bad under stress / time constraint.
After the interview I was able to finish the problem within 10 minutes, but by then it's just too late.
Can't help but feel like a bad about it.5 -
An app/website that I co-created had a devastating launch and was rolled back before me and another coworker went on vacation.
To my surprise it was force-relaunched by upper management and bug-fixed on the go by another coworker, who was also involved. Props to him for dealing with the errors, as I wasn't contacted once.4 -
What the fuck is happening in 2025 where half the websites can't keep the session open?
How is it "good security practice" to require me to login every few hours?
Shit like this makes me think software has plateaued. If devs can't make a fucking session work in the big 2025, then there's no hope.16 -
"But why is the scar on the left if the appendix is on the right?"
"You're absolutely right! Let me try that one more time"4 -
Has anyone ever worked anywhere that actually had complete user stories to work on? Every job I've had requires me to ask clarifying questions for almost every part of a ticket before I work on it. I wonder how nice a job could be if acceptance criteria and expectations were known before a ticket was assigned.6

The last Windows update has fucked up the positions of the files on my desktop.
At this point I‘m not even mad. Also not disappointed anymore. We are past that.
Now it’s more of a confirmation of the ever declining quality of MS products.12 -
I built an addon to the system that we've been using for almost 15 years now that uses the exact same config screen as we've always used.
And, just because the configs are being applied to a new concept, it's being treated like I abducted them with a flying saucer and are forcing them to learn Alienese. The config screen is exactly the same otherwise.1 -
New Job new me.
Looks like it's pure chaos. Randomly turning on aws features until things work. Lots of money down the drain.
Oh well. It's a job.9 -
Urgh, I can't get going on Mondays. Even in a calm environment and with a really nice project I can't get focused on my task.
What's wrong with me?11 -
Just fixed a bug no one knew I caused.
Feeling like a hero… and a criminal… at the same time. 🕵️♂️💻

Job spec fallacies and red flags. I will start:
* "Fast-paced environment" = "You will rarely finish something before start something else"
* "Ability to juggle competing priorities" = "our leaders don't align holistically and everything is important"
* "Opportunity to interact with all departments" = "You will accumulate functions"
* "Industry pioneers" = "We didn't research our competition when we started"
* "Leaders in the segment" = "We still haven't researched our competition"
* "Matrixed teams" = "we don't know how to structure our organisation"4 -
Bloody hell, the HR technophobes have been peddling Gen AI for quarterly reviews for more than an hour now.
Don't they realize that it makes them obsolete? A rambling mess that regurgitate meaningless buzzwords in a random order and pretends it is knows anything?
Oh, well. At least I can pretend even less to give a shit now. As of they would really give raises just because my team reached its "goals" and wrote them down months ago following a dumb achronym that really pushes the meaning of random words.5 -
Caching is a cruel mistress.
I've probably said that before, but I can't remember whether I've said it before or not, because caching is a cruel mistress.6
