@Demolishun no

> A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any plant, animal, or microorganism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques, which typically involve transferring specific DNA from one organism to another. This process creates changes that do not occur naturally through mating or natural recombination.

and they're also pretty bad at it so you just have proteins floating around that shouldn't be there. which I theorized would cause allergies... but had no proof of. evidently this book mentions allergies being caused by GMOs as well but... on purpose. like for example... herbicide/pesticide variants eat through your intestinal wall... so no wonder your body starts viewing the food you eat as toxic and attacks it with your immune system (aka an allergy). here I thought it was just too much foreign material... not they literally made the food attack you when you eat it -.-

I'm 32 and I was thinking I had 8 extra years from age 21 until now

I literally have no idea why

I thought I graduated in 2016 but evidently that's when I let my job... lmao

I thought a segment of 2 "rot years" of my life was actually 4 years... it was not

turns out I'm surprisingly more efficient

granted. I've been sick 3 years now. now that. that was horrible and actually I can't remember anything from one of those years. I absolutely have no clue what happened during it. I was just wandering around blacked out I guess. did I mention how white-hot angry I'm about all that that happened to me. yeah felt like mentioning it. I am gonna fuck some shit up from this, I swear it

... interestingly there was a relationship I was in for 7 months and I thought it was 2 years. the whole thing was like a torturous slow-motion car crash. Jesus fuck. the amount of happiness when I found out it was only 7 months. thank god. literally just wild time dilation. I was totally convinced!

hmmmmmmmmm

ehhh you could just enjoy its tinkering

coffee coffee coffee 🤤

@CaptainRant would throw concentration off for some people but I'm one of those people who wake up with a blank head and can't think very quick in the mornings so it's the perfect time to get some chores out of the way before I fully boot

good advice is to go with your own understanding of yourself in terms of advice. I kept trying to follow other people's advice when I knew about myself better and that just causes frustration lol. I can say I gave it a fair shot but in retrospect I knew myself already so...

@Lensflare sounds like your confusions need more lectures but if you would not like them from me perhaps you can go on a quest to find better sources yourself then

popcorn day I see

probably just forgot to recompile tbh

can they even collect that data and make sense of it, and actually turn it into something usable?

"when we find all the bugs and I guess bugs stop showing up"

though your reply is pretty good diplomatically speaking

SIX MONTHS?!

@Lensflare but you just claimed to be trolling on devrant because you revealed your lack of moral sense and wanted to run away from it like a coward instead of thinking through reality...

@Lensflare ... geez you sound like a Nazi

you know in USSR they imprisoned you by claiming you had mental issues. if you didn't have them at the start, the starvation, torture and drugs were quite likely to give you at least depression by the end

historically medicalizing is used to get rid of inconvenient people by the regime. it's the new "pagans" of the new religion

everybody gets basic human rights and the ability to consent (on paper), but if a random psychologist deems you crazy suddenly you can be treated like your wishes about your own self are irrelevant. the Nazis did this to various groups

don't advocate for it. that's disgusting. and if you continue to, I will wish with all my very being that you experience what I'm talking about here so you may stop being such a moron

I kind of like their new UI

surprised. generally they make bad decisions

@atheist is it a cringe Indian wedding on youtube

@sidthepajfuk my boyfriend says I don't care about wealth, which was surprising to me! but I guess he's right since I don't make any decisions based on such short-term things

it's been dumber than usual

it couldn't even rewrite a doc comment I had into some enums properly...

@CaptainRant ha at least it was to the point instead of cryptic

I get some weird underhanded comments like "you have too many projects because you're trying to do things that are too challenging for you" when the guy couldn't even understand a single project I had... then sent me html weekly newsletter links like my 20 websites means I don't know how html works

@CaptainRant didn't like context switching either. my ADHD or something makes it TERRIBLE. having to switch from something I'm focused on to some nonsense is literally the most painful thing

I saw some people advocate that they need focus time or set themselves on busy on slack to denote when they're in focus mode, and it seemed to be respected

for me I can handle a little bit of shallow conversation without dropping everything but if someone wants to have an extended conversation for 20 minutes out of nowhere where I have to load up their context it was pretty bad...

I think "deep focus" is an acceptable excuse at workplaces though and they might understand the need for that. I only had issues with interruptions when I was in an open office and management thought it was so great anyone could drop by to ask me about anything... text doesn't knock me out but someone physically wanting my attention does 😭

also i'd only do emails morning and before I'd leave, slack also

@CaptainRant oh I had a really bad slack problem also... that situation didn't work out. my lead went at me saying I needed to be aware of everything that was going on in every slack channel... but I didn't even have context for what project each slack channel was about so that was useless and management backed the criticism which made no sense...

it's good they communicate importance. I've been in situations where that is not communicated and then I got blamed for it again. sigh

if people from lesser projects ping you mention you're currently working on the more important one. when I had multiple managers and a less important person wanted my help I said "I'd have time to do this at X but if it's important and you want it sooner you should take to Y manager whose work I'm currently focusing on", so then they can fight it amongst themselves like that, and that worked to keep people happy at the time

@CaptainRant I don't like agile. too many meetings

I got free reign before management stepped in. just go browse and assign yourself as the dev on the ticket. you didn't need to have meetings. you could just do this anytime

then I'd assign a tester to the ticket when I was done. and documented everything in the ticket. and if they had questions they dropped by to ask.

meetings themselves sound like the worst way to do anything. everyone just wants to escape the meeting and everybody is awkward, and there's always someone who wants to tell everyone else what to do or try to force some kind of "this is the way we do things here" which might not fit everybody. like I can't remember what I did yesterday. but I can write notes of what I'm doing and reference them. once an event is passed why would I devote mental energy to keeping it around? I just move on.

but in agile you have to devote mental energy or you're viewed badly which is ridiculous

@CaptainRant well for example my contract said I can't go work for a company doing the same stuff. but legally non competes apply within 150 miles here... and they can't bar me from being a web developer at another webshop. that would be ridiculous

and for non competes to be enforceable they also typically need to pay you severance. so for example my contract said I couldn't work somewhere with the same skills for 2 years. for that 2 years to apply they have to give me severance for that to be legally binding. otherwise the court throws it out because you can't just make a former employee unhirable anywhere else when all they're doing is using generic industry standard tools. the non compete was too broad and utter bullshit. I read it and it made it sound like I was to be a slave and if I ever left I would have to work as like a waiter that meet my bills and can't do a tech job for 2 years, and there was no compensation for it at all

@SoldierOfCode oh I don't think that's a virus... same thing as in humans. if it spreads by parasitical insects then it's like what tanks immune systems of humans that gives them "flu-like" symptoms (like aphids are basically vampires on plants)

kicker I never get the flu around people with the flu... but for example I get "the flu" if I over-exercise. I also get "the flu" if I eat too much sugar... and AIDS people always have "the flu", but it's "not the real flu" they claim. think this is just your immune system malfunctioning and they call it "the flu" when no such things exists...

only thing I ever caught from a sick person was a stomach bug (which are bacteria caused). but never a flu or cold. and I used to get flus and colds a lot as a kid... but never when others got them which was strange

---

breeding for health will be the same as "breeding for virus resistance". ur more likely to breed out inbreeding for example. don't clone ur plants if you have fields (even tho easy)

I always found that funny

@Demolishun yeah I know there are databases that claim to have sequenced viruses but they can't actually sequence viruses... they sequence floating proteins and then try to "guess" how they all fit together

the guy I was watching who was smart and I like found a database with the covid virus and realized stuff like "whoa this is the part of the virus that does X" but I don't think that's right...

I never did finish that video (was like 16 hour Livestream). dunno why he was even trying to sequence covid. kind of wonder how it all ended raaghh

if you're put on many projects and overwhelmed, focus on one project at a time until you acclimate to them

also have management tell you the priority of projects, tasks, etc (and their schedules, like if they have release plans or demos for clients etc), so you know which is important for them and when

and if they're irrational then schedule out your projects/work and share your schedule with all the stakeholders so they can be aligned

I had 3 managers once and like 4 projects. I liked it though but I am ADHD. I also collected the projects slowly over time instead of being thrown into them all at once... once you know a project it's not overwhelming but if they're all new your brain could mistake one project for another. organization skills might be required for this but I never lacked them

I'd be fine with this

my company barred me from working on other projects... to go work on a project that had no work

I also hate it when I just have one ticket. why can't I just take tickets out as I want to. I'll assign myself to them and do them as a batch, because I generally pick ones in the same area of code. it's so highly efficient. why the hell did we have whole meetings so they can give me 1 ticket to do over 3 days??? and it's like some super simple REST endpoint or something omg

and if I burn out on one project or there's no work, then my time can be overflowed to other projects...

but noooo. irrationally management regarded me as "too important". hate it

well they also have to pay lawyers and file court documents (and pay for them) and then go to court to then prove that those notes are theirs and not yours

and the courts won't penalize you very much (they'll throw it out actually because that's a joke) unless you made profits off that information

and just cuz they write something into a contract doesn't mean it's moral, or even legally binding. that's the kicker. they will write things in there that are actually not legally enforceable... and they won't tell you because you believing it is in their best interest

if you want a book to really help you with the stress of this nonsense, because I used to actually get really stressed about the irrational and self-contradictory prison-cage of these contracts, this explains our current world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

probably a joke to get us interested and nothing happened. trollololol

but I'm the 1%!
