:chump:
I use an electric fly water. It has a little UV light that attracts bugs into it. Sometimes I'll just leave it hanging somewhere on that setting and hear a pop from the other room.

Am I an accomplice if I rescue house centipedes?

Centipedes and arachnids are OK in my book. Not pests.

Right, but I know every time I rescue one they are going to murder a lot of pests.

Or ..  that's my hope anyway.

Here's a cool spider that was hanging out by the juice line at a work function. Took him outside so nobody squished him

The enemy of my enemy...

Plus we have the awesome joro spider down here where it is warm, and they are the shit! Golden, 3-D webs and they live in big colonies, so the webs get huge. And, if asked nicely, they will refrain from rebuilding their webs where the humans walk.

I think of them like feral cats.  And tend to rescue the house centipedes from the bathtub when I see them.

My favorite nighborhood feral cat popped out from under my front porch last week with a GIANT rat in its mouth. I fumbled "good kitty!" and lit my smoke as he sauntered off with his prize.

Yeah I have serious issues with that. Kloakk said it somewhere in the recent past, in I guess this thread. Every time I take a shower I kill so many organisms. Really hit home.




This would give any reasonable person the perspective needed to get over the over-sensitivity to the fact that you cause the death of other organisms all the time. Circle of life and all that.


I agree, but it should also give the perspective that all life is important to it's own existence and that my life doesn't have more value or meaning then a skin cell's.

that statement bothers me. It does when you make, shed and replace them every day.
Of course you matter more than a dead skin cell. You can make millions more.

That said and even after having been bitten by a  necrophying spider at one point. I still try to relocate them outside whenever I can. They can survive freezing weather you don't have to feel bad about kicking them out of your house.

Ah yeah. I don't hang out with those types, one of the reasons I feel so at home here. Could rant about 'reasonable' as a category in the way I did about vermin, but I won't bother you with that.

I think it was Haraway (not sure though) who wrote that our fascination with predators (the spider Trypt saved, or your feral cat) stems from our desire to be seen as one. 'The other guys at the top of the food chain'. Pretty interesting thought.

We dont need to try to be seen as one, just look at how prey animals see us

I'm not in to bothering things so I'm sorry for that, but how are humans any different, I mean we can make millions of us too. I live in strange place(my head), and in here no life matter to anyone or anything else then the owner of that life.

And I kill mosquitos if they draw first blood and sleep fine(or the same as when I don't kill mosquitos). I think the thought of how fragile and meaningless(in the big picture) life is, is what's bothers me the most, or maybe the fact that I am able to have that thought :lol:

Point being, either all life matters or non do.

not in response to anyone’s specific comment, but to jump into this thread:  i’m def down with a lot of what’s been posted today - especially tree’s comment about being mushroom food, as I’ve often wondered if we are eating the mushrooms or if its actually the other way around. Intergalactic fungal warfare and all that kinda funky jazz…was featured prominently in a super twisted trip I had a while back!

peace to all and best wishes for a great weekend!

Every cell in my body is different than ten years ago.  I'm not the same person, I just have the memories and criminal record (karma).

The Ship of Theseus and all of that.

Though I do see your point, like as far as this organism is concerned. The entirety of its continuance is more important than any individual cell.

An individual person can feel the same way about their species, their culture, their nation. I wish more of us felt that way about the planet we live on and share.

Pig, I'm pretty sure you've also read the books and booklets that describe how 'vermin' needs to be 'eradicated', or 'alien elements' need to be 'removed from the people'.

It's all just humans saying: you bother me, don't exist. They all know they are damn right too, because humans always know they are, and on the right side too. Especially the 'right' humans.



There's a big difference between my relatives that were gassed and put in ovens and gnats.  Same with those Iranian children.  I will absolutely tier that life on a different scale.  A gnat doesn't draw pictures from its imagination and wonder what life has in hold for it.  It doesn't seek comfort from its parents or fly kites in the summer.  A gnat isn't even sentient, it's just a lil guy going about an automated process to seek soil and reproduce. 

I get where you're trying to come from, I was the kid that was constantly late to school because I had to get the worms off of the sidewalk before they died.  I beat a kid up for stomping on ants.  To this day I'll interrupt almost anything to bring a spider outside or open a door for whatever is buzzing around my house. 

The comparison used just fell flat to me.  I'm willing to bet it would as well for the 102,000 people from your own country that were gassed to death not that long ago.

I sometimes get a little paranoid and wonder if the mushrooms have hijacked my brain and that's why I'm so interested in growing them and teaching others.

Then I say well if that's the case, we better get to work making agar.
