  • The real world does not provide it as a realistic choice. You cannot do what i said. If one tried their family would just die with them.

    Are you really arguing that your materialistic goods are worth more then the lives of future people? Because that is how your words appear. If so that is repulsive.

    Parents have made much tougher sacrifices for their kids all over history, people leaving everything they have behind for a better future is a norm that continues to repeat conflict after conflict. Self-Sacrifice may be rare but to deny its existence is naively hateful.

    If we don’t change our ways we wont even have a place to flee towards when climate conflicts arrive at home.


  • If i could guarantee my kids will have enough food and medical care for the rest of their lives unconditionally, only having to give up on my material belongings i will do so in a heartbeat.

    If that means sleeping on straw and not owning any electronic devices but i get to keep living under the same roof with small garden i will still consider that a very cheap price to pay.

    There is no point in all this luxury if we suicide our fucking species to create such.

    You may be privileged right now, you may have it personally very good but your survival is just as dependent on society at large. If we don’t take action you too will be impacted sooner then you realize. And the more privilege you are used to the harder a time you will have.







  • You are technically correct. Many critters know as insects are their own group.

    However in reality it has much more to do with human classification then actual nature. Same with what we call “fruit” so i al not sure what people want me to use to refer to the entire class of creepy crawlers.

    Termites where for a while considered a different class but now there seen as a subclass of cockroaches and those are insects. Springtails where long considered insects but now they are their own class.

    35mm without the legs is freaking huge. And as an arachnophobe you can’t tell me the legs don’t count towards its intimidation.



  • Another example, which i can personally verify has been working fine for months. It works a bit different to the above, it downloads the latests 2* vids that are not already downloaded and runs once every hour with cron. I also attempted to filter out live vids and shorts.

    Channels i am “subscribed” too are stored in a single text file, it also uses the avc1 codec because i found p9 and p10 had issues with the jellyfin client on my tv.

    looks like this, i added categories but i don’t actually use them in the script besides putting them in a variable, lol. Vid-limit is how many of the latests vids it should look at to download. The original reason i implemented that is so i could selectively download a bulk of latests vids if i wanted to.

    No, they hide instead.

    In small corners, like a small hole in the stonewall next to your wall attached reading lamp.

    So then when you’re finally asleep you hear like this scratch noise. So you turn on your lamp and you see that it’s little bit of wall dust coming off it.

    And at first you’re like huh so you look a little closer and you see that it’s coming from that little hole in the wall.

    AND THEN SOME LEGS JUMP OUT OF THERE.

    Before you know it you stand at the furthest other corner of the room.

    A full spider has pulled itself from the hole, and it stares at you, menacingly.

    You can barely breathe, but deep down you know that the creature can’t help it. It is not a monster, and neither are you.

    You were taught the most sensible thing is to put such insects outside. So you sneak downstairs trying to find a glass and piece of paper to capture it in.

    So then you, a brave knight, armed with a glass faces the beast.

    And as you hold your arm in the vicinity of its claws. You realize:

    The size of this beast is far bigger than the diameter of the opening of this glass.

    You run to the hallway you are truly losing it. But then you hear another sound.

    Your dad appears from nowhere, and he asks what are my troubles.

    SO I SHOW MY HERO TO THE BEAST

    AND HE FUCKING LEGS IT. EVEN MORE A COWARD THAN YOU. Goes to bed and leaves you to it remarking its large size.

    That is what wolfspiders do. They don’t just destroy your confidence, they show that you came from nothing and will remain it till the day you become food.

    That is what wolfspiders do.

    Also they can jump 2m straight, thankgod i only found out as it jumped from glass 2# into the darkness of the garden as i you realize they could have jumped into your face at any point of time back in the room. You were never safe.

    That is what Wolfspiders do.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
