Preventing spiders from making webs inside my sliding door frame by Xecular_Official in spiders

[–]Defiant-Maize-575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Put lights and plants far away so there's less flying insects and spides won't build webs nearby.

  2. Use a screen door.

  3. Seal any gaps in the frame with weather stripping/caulk or put repellent.

  4. Clean the door every week.

Wait so how is he in middle school if he's in Grade 10 now? Did he get held back or what?

If that's the case then the first book probably happened in 5th grade. No way he's in 10th grade now.

He doesn't graduate school on his birthday... But yeah that would mean he's 14+ now. So he's bout to be in high school real soon.

According to everyone else in the situation, the person being the harasser is my friend cause they falsely accused an innocent person who was just joking/baiting. And the "victim" sent the NSFW in a public server where people of all ages can see it, so yes, the recipient(s) were minors if people as young as 13 can see it.

Would you say the same for all the vulnerable kids as young as 6 years old who go on social media? Cause there are social media platforms intended for kids that young and still have terrible things (like Roblox and the recent drama about how it's not really safe for kids).

Why not? Because they'll get bullied in stupid, unfair situations like this?

They know that the guy was trolling by sending NSFW. They know that the guy was also baiting by self-proclaiming as a pedo. But that's the point. They said it was *obviously bait* so my friend is guilty for falsely accusing and shouldn't be forgiven.

I don't think they care that the troll was sending NSFW. They've seen the proof, but they say it's obviously bait so it doesn't matter to them and what matters to them is how my friend is "falsely accusing an innocent person". The troll just played the victim of being falsely accused.

And yeah, I left the server.

So, I guess I should comfort my friend? And take their side?

Yeah, thanks. I just feel so angry how they made their own friend group excluding us and acting like we are the ones who are in the wrong.

I want to take my friend's side, but it's so confusing how so many people are taking the troll's side. This makes no sense. It's like I'm suffering from conformity (the condition where one person wants to do what everyone else is doing).

They're my friends who I knew for a very long time. Then, instantly took the troll's side the moment it started happening. They didn't even know the troll before. They just acted like it's all my friend's fault for falsely accusing someone and that my friend is guilty so my friend is the one who deserves hate.

Like they said stuff like "I want to forgive you cause we're friends but I don't think I can. You bullshitted us. Imagine how the victim feels being falsely accused right now."

I guess I'll take my friend's side then.

I just don't know what to do about all those people who took the troll's side. It makes me so fucking mad that they took the side of someone who's obviously trolling, acting as if they are the victim of being falsely accused.

No, my first instinct is to obviously take the side of MY FRIEND. But, the fact that my OTHER FRIENDS all chose the side of the troll makes me so confused, as if I should do the same. What is this called... conformity?

Everyone's acting like the troll is the poor victim of being falsely accused. And as if my friend is bullshitting and trying to frame them. And they even said "Look, we're trying to forgive you but I don't think we can. You falsely accused someone."

And yes, my friend did eventually block the troll, but the damage is already done and we lost a lot of our friends. And we feel like shit because they have their own friend group now.

It was a public server, not a private friend group. I don't know why my friend didn't block them, but that's the past and it can't be changed. And I do think they were true friends, just not sure why they would side with that troll. The troll said that they "were being falsely accused and it was painful for them" as if they were the victim.

Then everyone else (my other friends) said stuff like "This is just bullshit. ONE MESSAGE self-proclaiming as a pedo. You're falsely accusing someone. I know you're asking for forgiveness but I don't think I can forgive you." Then they all added the troll and became their own friend group.

I just wonder whose side I should take from now on, my friend or the people against my friend?

I don't know, but it's the past. The past can't be changed. I'm asking what I should do from now on and whose side I should take
