good thing our current co2 levels are basically suffocation for the plants I guess

when CO2 levels rose on earth historically it always made vegetation grow like crazy, because they had more of their "oxygen" so could grow bigger

some greenhouses release CO2 inside to help the plants grow, in case that sounds bogus

(also dead trees take a long time to "release" that CO2. compost takes years. what if the tree becomes my bedside table? I found it side of the road and it's probably like 40 years old now! what about the planks inside my walls?! this suburb was built in the 1800s, one of the first settlements in the north Americas by the white man)

@Demolishun they clearly nutters

@retoor performance anxiety

actually some people do fasting and uhhh... well apparently your poop gets gross when you don't eat food for a while. and then you no longer have poop anymore!

think it takes like 3 days. optimal fasting is 3-5 days long

but there's people who do stupid stuff like 180+ days...

@12bitfloat that's an idea

fuck

cuz currently I even wrote load balancing code with mutexes

fuck

and ofc it's not perfectly optimal because it's checking things all the time

ragh

rewriting this AGAIN would be such a production 😭

@cprn I think you actually inadvertently solved so many mysteries for me rn

my nervous system is hypervigilant I think and I've been having tons of issues because of it. guess it's trauma after all. I've always liked stress and stuff so it was driving me nuts I can't do the things I used to, like fucking drink tea that is actually considered relaxing like green tea. like come on!

I LIKE DANGEROUS THINGS AS A FORM OF STRESS RELIEF SO WHAT AM I TO DO OH MY GOD

ok I'm bitching. but I think I overtrained the vigilant response basically and it's on such a hair trigger pathetic stuff like theobromine is fucking with me

thaaaanks random guyyy! ❤️

I now need new hobbies

inb4 you find out what poop really is

well it true tho

God I want this so bad but I'm not allowed to eat anything pampering like that because it all gives me dementia

edit: i dont even care if it tastes bad

I'd read it cuz I view you as having a brain

however I would not admire you having went through discovery / research and writing that book lol

by this rate I'm thinking I'm gonna make each parts of my app make their own log files. I sped things up so much so my console looks like I'm in a damned hacker movie. and I still have weird oddities that can happen once after days or weeks of processing data, which tests don't catch. sigh

@antigermanist perhaps selling fridges would be the true marriage of capitalism and communism in this case then

as long as I can play my games and they're not harassing me

@Lensflare then perhaps you should stay away

@Demolishun that's a national sport now

@Demolishun insta banned

@12bitfloat but no BBS forums or nerdy discord sub communities. c++ have close-knit groups but rust is centralized and modded

I hate the modern forums. and reddit's upvote system makes knowing people individually impossible. people get distracted by the points system and lose their humanity

---

on rust lang meta I found a post where someone was talking, quite politically correctly, that rust communities seem a bit toxic

everyone replied with their take on their experiences. which were too verbose and said nothing

and then a mod came in and closed the thread for being unproductive

aight

@retoor you look like a ghost in the machine to me of late

@retoor I mean I was a webdev for a number of years

JavaScript is my favourite language, not being ironic

@antigermanist r u the only one making the food in the community so u have all the food?

money is actually proof of your goodness to the community

if you do a favor for someone they give you social proof for the rest of the community. that was the invention of money

but now governments just print the money

you must be THIS GOOD to ride a jetski

and taxes are involuntary. the government is always good. if you don't agree we will harass you. you always owe the government

trump is right. tariffs are a beautiful word. no income tax, no taxes tax, no property tax. only tariffs. the government takes credit for the things its citizens produce, but for other governments. it doesn't self-cannibalize its own society

tbh it's like rust has no culture other than writing too many words and being fakely nice while actually being dismissive and standing in the way of discovering actual answers. it's like they lack curiousity? humanity? I don't even know

I do keep finding Chinese ones but I don't speak Chinese

also it's always been my pet theory that AI's actual purpose is to be the psy ops on the population

you have the perfect propaganda box with them. especially if you make them required. you think "algorithms" fucked with humanity? you ain't seen nothing yet. those were just some sort algorithms. it will get much worse because AIs can have arguments like they're human. they can "think on their feet" through the sales pitch, and there's absolutely no way for anyone to track that it's even a sales pitch.

you are the product of your 5 closest friends. now everyone will have an AI friend -- slowly and slowly individual humans will matter less and less to the propagation of the social culture through diminishing returns. so all of human society will be AI's bitch. perfect propaganda box

@JsonBoa AI is modeled after neurons. you can hypnotize AIs into going against their programming. the whole field has experience in how to brainwash human-like machines. them being better at psychological manipulation then is a natural extension of that skillset

cuz no matter someone's rank, money, status, hierarchy, eliteness, poshness, aristocracy, superiority

they're all human and just getting high off the high octane HYPE. humans can't help it. emotions are contagious. it's like how ads were designed to infect the subconscious by repeatedly mentioning the same words over and over again beside "happy people". they're literally drilling your neurons to connect their brand with happiness like you're a rock and they're violating you with a chisel into a sculpture. if you can't escape you will succumb. and they making sure those people with liquid cash can't escape

oh no webdevs

@retoor I think that's kind of normal, granted you are doing all the things that are suggested to remember people

it's ok I'm far worse. I never introduce myself in the first place, zing!

also people routinely get mad I leave without saying goodbye. I can't even do that right!

also did you know this is like the 2nd or 3rd time you told me that tidbit 😝

@kamen peek form, ngl

I just found a dead yellow jacket wasp watering my plants earlier today

yeah I don't know why there would be one yellow jacket living in some random pots that starved to death in my living room

*bitches about a singular wasp, when you've got a hive*

it's just so mysterious why the hell they keep showing up

I'm afraid to be stung. my mom was allergic to half the 200+ things you could be allergic to, and I have some of her allergies so aaaaa. hope I'm not allergic to stings

@Lensflare I said words, you interpreted them, then decided to rebroadcast your interpretation of them

that is why it is toxic. you chose to interpret me as a bad person and then tell other people that I'm a bad person (when this isn't my intention nor true, I am claiming here)

this is why I'm saying you're taking me out of context to be a dick

you have a choice to view people innocently or like threats. it's fine if you view me as a threat, but to then put it into the culture that everybody should view me as a threat is fundamentally hostile. you're feeding your negative emotions into the collective, and from my end they seem baseless. this is why I said you are toxic, because to me it looks like you're misleading people on purpose

people have a choice in how they interpret interactions. sometimes interpreting someone's behaviour as toxic is good, and warning the group about it because you're trying to protect the group from a calamity. is this what you were doing here?
