Yeah the ants are annoying, they seem to come through my house every so many years during summer. You see one and then realize theres a whole bunch of them all over. They can be tricky to deal with.

I won’t defend mosquito’s though, they are the worst.

Well mainly because most bugs aren’t doing anything harmful. Those removal services are to prevent damage or harm that can occur. A spider hanging out in the rafters is not hurting anyone. If the visual of a spider and a web is a problem then relocating them seems to be most reasonable.

If you have a line of ants show up, figure out where they are coming from and plug it, and then trap the ants and put them out side.

The question shouldnt be why let them live, in my opinion. It should be why should we kill that specific bug or five bugs or ten. Even a lot of those businesses that remove bugs and animals will do so non-lethally if possible. They can move whole nests in some cases

I understand you have a fear but it can’t be healthy to alleviate that fear by killing the cause of it whether its justified or not.

It can range in time for people thats for sure. Theres also different quality of learning. Its very important not to accidentally learn mistakes. It takes time and effort to build a habit.

I think you are trying to make the statement here that you have a justifiable fear of bugs, and that you are permitted to kill them on sight because of it.

This is essentially the justifiable racism defense but with bugs. Would you argue the same way about say a minority group if you had been victimized by minorities repeatedly as a child?

Obviously you aren’t saying racist things here, but you are saying there is a whole group of living things that you kill on sight because you had some bad experiences with them many years ago.

Yeah I think that can happen at different scales, and of course MMOs didnt just increase the numbers higher and higher, they added more damage sources per second, per target.

It gets to the point you need a meter and graph to really tell much of a difference with anything, but you won’t be able to create enough data points to make a real determinstion.

So the end result I think is the same you are describing. You get a new upgrade and it looks like it will be a substantial difference but you end up not being able to tell.

The game you are talking about, is the exponential increase a feature of the game? It sounds like it goes up very quick from what you described.

So because it makes you feel happy when you think about it?

You did reply with the reason you support these reactors right?

It varies state to state here as well. Someone in Georgia might have way more problems than someone in Minnesota. Its hard to generalize the US in that way. Sort of like the EU being a group but each country separate.

No I mean thats what’s proposed. I’m saying leaving the companies service has nothing to do with a loan they gave you. They are separate things. Its possible they would stop with no interest but I believe they can still make money without interest in some cases.

The part they are saying is different is that the phones are unlocked immediately. They don’t ever lock.

You can continue paying at&t for the phone after moving to a different carrier.

How do you think people will steal phones like this?

I wouldnt recommend an already setup grapheneos device in the first place. How would you trust that?

Its a frequency of use thing, and also some required sites. Examples are sites hosted by schools, government, or workplaces.

Although most people using Firefox aren’t aware of spoofing the client to look like chrome, so that might need to be talked about more.

That all said, I don’t have problems with any required usage, the only ones I have an issue with are on my phone, using mull, some sites payment forms won’t load or work correctly. Taco bell is pretty bad for that and then the app wouldnt work either for a while. I also run grapheneos though so its hard to say what’s the cause there.

Happens in MMOs too, world of Warcraft was bad with it over the years on and off.

They’ve reduced the numbers down multiple times so that people start to feel progression again.

Maybe posting a picture where you write it out? I think I understand though.

I think I read it like you did first, that fining him billions would be more than half of his net worth, which is wrong.

But I think they mean that if you have billions, taking away half wouldnt change your life. I’d also say thats wrong for musk though because his money is tied up in companies. If he had to pay a cash fine of a huge amount, that likely would cause discomfort.

Why would they think that?

He’s free to leave the EU at anytime. They are allowed to create appropriate punishments to deter further misuse. They are saying here that they need to be able to punish more to deter him, as he’s an asshole who says fuck you to everyone.

Dang I can’t un-see that now. Its like the FedEx arrow.

YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM THE POTATO MASHA!

Okay but adults can choose to undo a bad habit. It doesnt take that long, maybe a month. It helps to learn about the bugs and what they do, how they live.

If I were in your shoes I think the accidental mouse killing would have been a catalyst for that. Ive never killed an animal though and I’m already vegan, so theres no way to know for sure.

Hey Dad! I didnt know you were on lemmy!
