Even if that is true, do I adopt that morality for everything - ie what would they do if the sizes were reversed? Mosquitoes would leave me alone if they were human sized. Does that make it wrong to kill them?

When I am camping (and when I'm not) I try to think of my position in the world. Is the scorpion in my shoe invading my space or am I passing through theirs? Who should have the right to be there? Do they only get to exist if they play by my rules, or do I acknowledge the right of things that scare me to have a place in the world? Will I be someone who lashes out or someone who makes space?
You are totally in the majority with your actions, and I'm not trying to lay anything on you at all. I only wish we as a species could extend a little more kindness when it is the emotionally hard choice.
Why stomp them?
At that point you will have smoked 4% of 100 joints. Hey, math is easy.
Your computer is displaying the symbols wrong. The W in your screenshot is a whole note. The dotted capital Is are eighth notes. No suggestions except different browser or app.
It feels bad when you put in time and thought without any response. That's not their fault. It isn't your fault. Something didn't jive and that was a miss for both of you.
There is no expectation. Just like you don't have to respond to me here. Actually, I take that back. The expectation is that they (and you) will only engage their own (or your own) terms. Neither of you owes the other anything.
What would I do? I would take no response as a hint and back off entirely. Matching carries absolutely no obligation to respond to me.
I commented below, but better to group the ideas. You can also use a glass paint marker. Mine hasn't worn off at all in 3 years.
My measurements nearly wore off, so I got a glass paint marker and redrew them. Problem solved for another 10 years.
This is absolutely the most annoying part. I would be all in on smart whatevers if they worked like they should (ie respecting privacy by design). As it is, I will only buy appliances with no internet capabilities because I don't want to spend time securing them.
Yes, this was clear at the time of the sale. I remember people talking about it and moving away from the brand.
ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely over his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death
Mmhmm, trolling is when someone asks you questions that have answers that make you uncomfortable. I'll update my dictionary.
The large flowered collomia (Collomia grandiflora) is just starting to bloom around me. They are annual and have cool blue pollen (typically pollen is yellow). You can see the pollen on the anthers at the center of each flower.
I am going to keep tossing these out into the ether unless I hear differently from the group. I have been doing flowers just because their showy, but if anyone has requests let me know (eg trees, sedges, garden plants). Also, I have been avoiding having pollinators in the photos on the assumption that any animal makes most people ignore plant. Any thoughts on that?
This one is meadow-foam (Limnanthes douglasii). It's annual that is native to prairies of the west coast of North America. Smells great, looks cool, and bugs like it. Comercially, similar plants are grown for the oil from their seeds. The seeds off this one will just fall where they want to sprout up in spring of '22.
For me it is my phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) blooming. I throw some seed down wherever I don't have other plans because the bugs love the flowers? What have you got going?
Sounds like it was a boom year for them for some reason. That's actually pretty cool ecologically speaking (maybe less when you can't move for worry of being stung). Now I get to do some research. Do you mind saying what part of the world this was (dm ok if that's better)?
