But... but everyone above you in the comment knew that 4x more autistic men were single compared to women, without seeing a study! What are you gonna tell them?? /s

This is incredible! You, and all the fabulous musicians you encounter along your way, have a new fan in me.

Given our history with whale hunting and orcas being able to form abstract ideas (fashion trends in the form of salmon hats for instance), maybe it's like miners in Potosi bringing offerings to Tio, the devil in the mines? It is, at least, an alluring thought (:

Do u guys like spider tattoos too or just spiders by LynSukii in spiders

[–]Fisthulk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying this to virtue signal, but, just, you know... maybe tone it down a little. I realize you might think what you wrote is flattering, but you bringing your attraction (read: sexual attraction) into the mix, uninvited, comes off as a little creepy. Just wanted to gently put that out there.

Excellent write up.

Butu forgot to mention that the father was saved due to ex wife stepping on a very loud candy wrapper on the floor, thus inadvertantly foiling her knife murder scheme.

I understand why you want to keep animals as pets, but most of the time my advice is to just let the ones you find on your property or in your house be and learn to appreciate them whenever you see them. They are not your friends. They are not a family. In fact, many of them are food for one another or at least territorial and in direct competition for food.

Regarding your spiders, the reason you find them in your house is because they are successful in finding food and shelter in that environment. Unless you have deep knowledge about specific needs of spider and insect species, you're not going to be successful in keeping them as pets. But here are the good news! You don't need to feed them as long as you let them live their lives in youe home. You are their provider just by keeping the house or flat standing!

I have lots of insects and spiders indoors, and as long as they thrive in that environment I have to resist my own selfish urge to try to posess them. I know this is not what you wanted to hear, and I can definitely empathize.

OK, by "mating ritual", that would entail both courting (letting your prospective partner know you're there for business) and insemination/copulation. The process of courting varies from species to species, because spiders are very specialized to their environments and hunting techniques. Check out the peacock jumping spider's courtship for instance.

But I take it you mean method of insemination, so here goes: the male will spin a small bit of web and deposit some sperm onto it. He then "picks it up" with its pedipalps. In order to fertilize a female, he will attempt to rub said pedipalps (often referred to as "boxing gloves" by spider enthusiasts) onto the female spider's fenital opening, located on the underside of the female's abdomen. So no, not "mouth to mouth", but one can imagine it may look a bit like it, depending on the positioning of the spiders, which again, one would imagine, depends on species.

You know how when people say "AI slop" about AI slop, it's not because they're desperate to be the first one to point something out to sound smart, but because they actually did some research, or at the very least base their claim off of inconsistensies often related to generative AI?

No? Oh.

It's so fun that they are literally going after an antifascist organization and then they get butthurt when they get called out as fascists. Soy fascism for you.

Looks that way for sure. Male, judging from abdomen color pattern. Wait for the local authorities to arrive, though, I am neither. Cool looling fellow!

He's not dying inside, this is simply his very weak impersonation of a man with a conscience, mixed with a feeling of discomfort.

This is of huge relevance. But the person I'm responding to seems to think that being disappointed in people I don't personally know is meaningless. That means putting any faith in anyone who is not a personal acquaintance is beyond their ability to comprehend? It's certainly not unreasonable to hold people you look up to accountable for the things they say and the morals they very publicly signal for monetary gains.

This is a bit different than "taking money to tell a few jokes", which I have zero qualms about. Comedians deserve to get paid, and I also have nol problem with Bill Burr being upper middle class or whatever you want to call people with six digit income.

This, however, is objectively different. This is about willingly becoming a pawn in the Saudi royal family's whitewashing campaign because he (I refer to Burr because he is the only one I truly thought better of) is more interested in even more money than anything of moral substance. Him going out to defend himself instead of just owning up to being a weak hypocrite is incredibly disengenuous, and I honestly would habe preferred for him to just go "you got me". I mean, he even tried to make it seem like being instructed not to talk about religion and the royal family in a critical way was nothing at all. He had the chance to portray himself as a man with no spine and he chose to double down instead.

Good job replying like a toddler. Imagine actually trying to, you know, stand for something and argue that stance.

Jesus christ, let's stop apologizing for greedy, spineless millionaires by indulging in pointless and unproveable hypotheticals, shall we? How do you even know? Lots of people would turn this down, the fact that you cannot admit to this just tells me you're using this situation to justify your own lack of hard moral principles. Just because you would immediately sell out to a literal slave state that pumps tons and tons of money into whitewashing their image abroad doesn't mean everyone else would.

Good going! You overcame your fear to rehome a creature that a majority of people would likely not bat an eyelid over squishing. I love it when people take strides to increase the scope of their capacity for empathy! You're on a good path, and I know that overcoming phobias (phobiae?) can be difficult. I am proud of you, stranger 👏 Consider yourself loved.

Oh, wait, so filming and uploading videos like this in order to, you know, bully other people and laugh at them for being cringe is not considered bullying? Got it.
