I really want the context. Tho the really old jokes I’ve read have all pretty well sucked according to my present tastes, so…

That gave me a good chortle. Thanks for making my dumb thought funnier 😊

Honestly was just the first example I could come up with, but the fact remains that a lot of things do consider ants to be harmless because they aren’t, like, hunting those things. Especially other small arthropods.

I’m sure there are some hunting ant species (like the 200 army ant species), but most of them aren’t.

Consider: the goal isn’t for predators to be fooled, but prey.

Lots of things consider ants totally harmless, like aphids that gets farmed and stuff. Perhaps it’s an adaptation to throw those things off.

Arthropods, man. They have two ideals and everything goes toward them.

When I was working on my degree (science communication; half science, half linguistics and communications courses), I had the choice between making it a B.S. or B.A.

I went for a B.S. Guess I chose wrong. I figured it was all BS anyway…

This is the second reference to elbows I’ve seen related to this topic, and I really don’t understand. Would you mind providing context?

No, not for many years now. This all happened 2008-10. I threatened a restraining order, and claimed I was sending everything to my attorney, including over a year worth of unanswered monthly “still made at me?” type of messages, and never heard from them again.

Several years later I learned they became a felon for sexual assault of another person (idk the person, but it does make keeping tabs on the stalker very easy as they are on the offender registry).

Soon I’ll be moving away from the area entirely and I’ll feel a lot better.

Honestly that caught me too.

I’d have to guess his family suspected/knew he was a piece of shit and wanted proof. Maybe he was also abusive? I don’t imagine someone like that would be like… super kind otherwise, you know?

I wouldn’t call it clingy so much as my ex was a stalker who followed me 1300 miles…

It depends how I shove the tray back in. I add eggs to them more often than I take them out.

Currently I’m sorting my quail eggs between small and large because I’m going to use the small ones for chive blossom pickled eggs, and the large for a big batch of cookies, but usually they just end up wherever they fit, one tray at a time.

My chickens are going to be another month or two before they start laying.

Lactose intolerance is rough.

I don’t see how that refutes what I said about why people don’t want to pay for it…?

lol ok, sure.

In what way? Give examples plz.

Nobody wants to pay for all the little individual piecemeal services and shit, because it’s wildly expensive and inconvenient, and because they keep adding ads to the paid stuff anyway because greed, so what benefit is there to paying?

This implies discipline is a chemical of some sort…

Where can I buy it?

Domesticated is a bit of a stretch, especially when we often hope they still hunt rodents. 😜

They tolerate us, and maybe often love us, but would not hesitate to survive without us.

Cats are independent people that choose to continue to live with you because it’s nice. Most of them can find a way out if they want it.

Is I/O in this context input/output? I’ve seen it used this way before but I’m not super techie so no clue.

Depends if your union is regional or just your workplace.

Most of the manufacturing unions in my area are just that, the area. All the trade unions are as well, and probably the teachers union too.

If it makes you feel any better, I totally get it.

I’ve thought many times how different the universe would be (would complex life on earth even work the same way???) if frozen water became more dense and sank like most frozen substances.
