I've reached a point of just not giving a fuck. I've begun to wonder if that's why I'm getting laid off but if so, then I deserve it but with an asterisk.

I worked 30-40 hours and delivered exceptional work. Quality of which was on par with my peers who easily work 50-60 hours a week. My boss works 80+ hours a week and I just keep asking myself "why give the company so much of your life and it doesn't give a flying fuck about you?"

I'm sorry if you don't see me hustling. I'm going to give you my everything, but within the timebox we've agreed to. Yes, I'll agree to work the occasional overtime for incident management, etc. but I am for sure not going to work 50-60 hours a week regularly.

My life is worth more than the job and I am not going to waste it behind a screen moving numbers around for more time than I need to.

I have a terrible back but love gardening so I invested in 3 foot high bins. They are a life saver for not only my back but keeps rabbits from eating the vegetables. If you get the right soil mixture you don't have to worry about the weeds.

The dirt....you can't do much about that except hydroponics like you said but that has its drawbacks too. At the end, you do what helps you and keeps you happy.

My biggest issue at this point is mosquitoes so I've started wearing long pants and a light jacket. That seems to have helped things.

I rode in an Uber once where the driver was a conspiracy theorist. He said that global warming was made up by the liberal elite to make people gay. And then without taking a breath, talked about how every summer seems to get warmer than the year before.

My experience with using grocery store bought garlic is mixed. When it did work, it grew a lot of leaves but not the bulb. When I researched this, it's because garlic requires specific soil conditions to grow its bulbs.

But bulb aside, garlic is a good natural critter repellent. It's good to grow around lettuce and kale. Though I haven't found a good cover plant to keep white butterflies away. Right now I'm using netting which they can sometimes find a way into.

Rush Mount-more

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

It's about oppression. Never about the rule of law but only about using the law to punish people they don't like.

The history of our country has shown that so long as people are involved, corruption can occur. There is no test that can be written so sanely that only "the right people" pass.

If every journalist and news anchor would refer to him as "Convicted Felon President Trump", that would be at least be a step in the right direction.

Keep eating rich people until their wealth makes it out or until the person inheriting it gives it away.

As someone who has a garden and has successfully grown garlic from cut ends of store bulbs...

It's not worth the labor.

I garden, yes, but the economy of scales of buying at the grocery store is much lower than growing your own vegetables. You garden because you want to enjoy vegetables that are either heirloom or you want the freshness.

Between the labor, watering, fertilizing, maintaining, etc. it's simply cheaper to buy at the store.

Very much agree. She is chill af and explains her thoughts rationally. The first time I saw her video on Target, it felt a bit off but the more I listened the more I related to what she was saying.

My biggest concern with AI is that some of the use cases are there. There are non-developers creating full projects that work (at least on the surface) but there's no review of code, no way to know how it actually works and whether it's scalable.

My worry isn't necessarily that I'm out of a job. It's the short term "we don't need developers now so we can get rid of them and hire them back later at lower pay"
