In the code below only the last notEqualTo modifier takes effect. I.e. it overrides the one that came before it. Is it possible to apply 2 notEqualTo modifiers for the same field?

```auto
const query = new Parse.Query("Comments");
query.notEqualTo("status", "angry");
query.notEqualTo("status", "happy");

query.equalTo("abc", "cde");
... other parameters

const result = await query.first({ useMasterKey: true })

```

I tried this method but it didn’t work either:

```auto
const notAngry = new Parse.Query("Comments");
notAngry.notEqualTo("status", "angry");

const notHappy = new Parse.Query("Comments");
notHappy.notEqualTo("status", "happy");

const mainQuery = Parse.Query.or(notAngry, notHappy);
mainQuery.equalTo("abc", "cde");
other params...
const result = await mainQuery.first({useMasterKey: true});

```

You can use `query.notContainedIn("status", ["angry", "happy"]);`
