I think the subtext is you gotta learn to be more competitive or be a loser

and that's the morale

you can say you professionally played ping pong now

@tosensei I do it all the time! how do you think I got here!

@tosensei could you change

@iiii huh that is the real world though

there is stuff I know so this is braindead, and there is stuff I don't so I can't tell you the estimates and I might rewrite it a couple times even before I'm satisfied (which is fun but I can tell it's more-so for my benefit!)

practice sounds really weird. this isn't like a sport. you already know how to type

they taste really good

I wanna watch this cuz too lazy to read the book and why not but soooo much whining wtffff stahp: https://youtube.com/watch/...

@tosensei what

no it has to do with interest

it's the same as there are some people you meet you'll stay awake for 3 days talking to them vs you can't wait to escape someone after 10 minutes

you just enjoy one so want to be there over everything else, and in the other you just literally wanna be doing anything else

I could admit that lots of people probably have not been into something so heavily that they stayed awake all night. I was a fun kid though so I had lots of random hobbies, and sleep has always fallen to the wayside for me because of my natural curiosity and excitement about how great existence and all the toys you can play with in it are tho 😋

what's wild to me is just how miserable everybody is. it's like they're waiting to die. like this is limbo. but they haven't even lived a day in their lives omg! if you wanna get into it lol

it's literally all mental though. I've kept so many people awake with me 😋, you just don't knoooww. miserly!

@iiii x_x

I think this is one of those jobs AIs should be automating away

@Lensflare they contain soooo much whining

I want movies about dark content matter but I don't want the whining

@D-4got10-01 cuz I don't know how to make it fit on me 😁

but it's ok. you just have to enter the role of spy fully and then it makes some sense

this isn't stackoverflow 🤔

@iiii I don't think most jobs have anything complicated to program. nothing to "practice"

@CoreFusionX nop https://rumble.com/v6sqr0d-magnetic...

as convenient as it would be for me to say it was the green energy cult people (when "global warming" or climate change or the whole CO2 scam is just that) it's just not what had happened

@BordedDev ooooh~

@Lensflare um? no his page is bugged

it was always bugged

he found some way to bug it out

he still has all his upvotes. if he deleted stuff the upvotes would go down

@CaptainRant yes

it's all about how similar people think you are to them or things that are familiar to them or things they like in their life (how it works in the brain)

and ok just the machivellianness of stalking someone and then leaving breadcrumbs of having the same interests as them. this even explains smalltalk, which never made any sense to me because it was always obvious to me nobody asking those questions actually cared what your answers were. it would always make me so confused

@kiki hm okay but it is weird just saying 😁

@retoor to be fair you were overworking because you thought you could fix it if you worked just a little harder, if I remember correctly

I recently heard this was a typical cope software developers all do which is also pretty funny. have problem? just solve harder!

but solving harder in some situations just gives you more problems. or worse. and everything you solve is just simply rejected. and you can't solve it. now what? now your whole existence falls apart. you want the problem to be over but it refuses to be over. so you just work harder. until you fall apart. because nothing is solving it

@retoor maybe he thought he was social media'ing too much

@BordedDev I DONT KNOW IF I CAN ACTUALLY DO SELF-SABOTAGE

@Lensflare oh he still exists, he just stopped showing up lol

oooh electrineer did stop showing up

didn't know he disliked you

he reminded me of a depressed older man though, like former roomie's dad. like one that drinks his woes away. he seems smart but nihilistic by life. but I'm guessing. like someone who can't find someone with alike brainpower to have an interesting conversation with another human being so you drink your loneliness away, and get prefrontal and social damage to the brain because of it. he gave me that sense

@antigermgerm permaculture is growing plants naturally like nature intended it

it's knowing which plants make good habitats for other plants. cultivating the correct soil bacteria that will modulate pH/acidity and moisture

it's also the way you can make an oasis in a desert. takes about 3 years, maybe 20 if you suck

and then that oasis will keep being an oasis forever after that because you built a self-sustaining ecosystem. up until someone dumps toxic waste or something in it

I don't actually know much about it but I want to learn it so desperately. after I get enough money to have land though. it's big in the truther/prepper communities (conspiracy theorists). they're all about independent self-sustaining systems. which is pretty interesting because lefty communist types sometimes dive into that, too!

there's a bunch of books on it also, I've seen their covers

btw invest in Bitcoin, gold

do permaculture

@tosensei um no

I can code for 3 days without sleeping and no burnout

you know what happens eventually?

_you want to sleep instead of code_

and _then_ if you keep pushing ahead ignoring that, you get "burnout"

but if you're in tune with what you want you can never burn out

people think something else because they are _not_ in tune with what they want. we're not really taught that as a society. instead we're taught that such things are selfish and we should be other-focused instead, and that is somehow holy and enlightened when it is not. meditation or sitting in silence without distractions lets you know yourself and your own motivations, and centers you, and then you "cure burnout" as those lame HR people keep awkwardly pushing but that's the basis behind it that they actually themselves don't understand so it's pretty funny

external ping

DEMOLISHED

transitioning

you got something else in mind

burnout only comes when you're forcing yourself to do something you don't like -- it saps your body of resources like doing too big a physical stretch and damaging ligaments

I watched this the other day and this is actually what an ex of mine, who I regarded as the most horrible person I ever met, was entirely like: https://youtube.com/watch/...

I think now I understand social intelligence after that. somehow made it all click

despite not needing to be dishonest, he was always just power hungry like that

(also not saying it's necessarily bad. valid Machiavellian tactic if you're that nihilist. at least you get to know the actual game -- sacrifice humanity to yourself being a pussy)
