      I teach my kids not to kill bugs unless they are doing something bad or dangerous, otherwise just move them.

      Killing things should not be a default action for convenience sake.

          Tbf, roaches I feel would be covered under his “bad or dangerous” clause.

          I’ve picked up wolf spiders before, but if there is a black widow inside I’ll smash it. Can’t risk them harming me or the ones I look after.

          Spiders eat mosquitoes and centipedes eat roaches, you do barely any work all day and contribute nothing back to society. Which one deserves being squished?

            The other day my coworkers and I made literally 5 million wrappers for dum dum suckers in 2 hours. Suck it.

            You eat Twinkies and your mom eats you. Which deserves to be squished?

      Had just clicked away from this post when I saw you comment. I need you to know that I came back just to ensure I upvoted your post (or whatever we call those here).

        Had just clicked away and had to come back to let you know we call those pointless here.

        (protip: if something is actually worth fake internet points give it a boost instead or as well)

            it’s a fediverse thing. think of it like a re-tweet.

            I sometimes forget Lemmy is a totally different place. Gave you a boost, let me know if it does anything there.

        Y’all think you’re above the ick while you’re going around trying to drag people down.

            Nope. You seem to like deciding things about people. Try playing your own character. Ohhh right, your character is shit. I bet it’s got an edgy backstory too.

                What way? Using the word “ick” seems to have triggered you. Maybe you mean the bug squishing? If they come too close, they are my problem, not yours. Live with roaches once. You’ll change your mind.
