Relax, they're vulnerable to birds (or aircraft for that matter), having rocks dropped on them, and fire. Pokemon teaches us this, and it's basically accurate. So next time you see a spider, just hope for a Birdemic or call for an air strike. Or burn the house down, that should work.

That article totally needed a little spider animation crawling across the page after about 30 seconds after loading (or maybe it does and AdBlock thwarted it for me).Shrapnel wrote:Now I can't sleep. Thanks....You Lost Me wrote:News about spiders
This sounds like the opener for a movie rather than the end."There'll be nothing alive in there after this," said Tim McCarthy, president of the company hired to fix the problem once and for all.
Anywho, something to help you sleep Shrapnel:

Makes me wonder if that statement is limited to spiders."There'll be nothing alive in there after this," said Tim McCarthy

It is kind of funny because from what i have read, poisoning spiders is a crappy solution for many reasons. Eggs protect vs toxins. Spiders are resistant to toxins as well. Spiders are mobile and simply go where the prey is.
The only reason it may work is by killing whatever the spiders were eating.
For now.

Denmark to ban sex with animals
ಠ_ಠThe absence of a law on bestiality led to a growth in animal sex tourism industry in the country.

i really love the doublethink behind that.
enslaving them for milk and their offspring, killing them so you can eat them and wear their skin on your body are all okay . . but sticking your dick into them is wrong! And it is wrong for you to let them stick their dick into you as well!
personally, i find bestiality disgusting, the same way i find gay men disgusting(which is strange because some of my best friends and colleagues and superiors at work are gay and i get along with them fine, so maybe disgusting would not be the best word to describe it, but not being a native english speaker myself i am not sure what would be a good word for that situation to be described with) as well, but as long as i don't have to know about it i don't really find myself caring about it . .

See, I would have a similar opinion of bestiality (ie, that it should be at least as legal as killing and "enslaving" the animals), except for the whole issue of consent.
I'm just amused that the lack of a law led to a "growth in animal sex tourism industry in the country," while the same did not (so far as I know...) happen in US states that similarly lacked laws against bestiality until only a few years ago.

well, bestiality was a cornerstone of the danish porn industry if i remember correctly, so that's a bit different than bubba being lonely and bessy being available i guess . .

Actually, the funny thing is, California was the last state I know of to actually make a law against it, around 2005.

"the same way I find the act of gay-man-sex disgusting" is probably what you're after. The way you worded it implies you think the very existence of those people is a vile affront to your sensibilities, as opposed to "man bits are gross and I don't want to see that happening when I go to the restaurant".Stahlseele wrote:the same way i find gay men disgusting(which is strange because some of my best friends and colleagues and superiors at work are gay and i get along with them fine, so maybe disgusting would not be the best word to describe it, but not being a native english speaker myself i am not sure what would be a good word for that situation to be described with)

I've heard that husbands are trained in the US via sexual rewards.
I do hope they mean they're banning sex with non-human animals though. Obviously plants are cool, a bit of fruit and veg, various kinds of pudding. What about animal products? Because cream seems popular. Leather too, which is also cows. So, really live non-human animals, and dead ones not yet dismembered. Got to be careful with laws.

PC, SJW, anti-fascist, not being a dick, or working on it, he/him.
Wait... do we actually much care if people are having sex with dead, non-disemboweled animals--in a "we are morally outraged" sense, I mean?
Sure, we probably care in that it's fucking vile (no pun intended), but do we care in a legal sense beyond the fact some people would probably kill animals to have sex with them in which case we just charge them with animal abuse/destruction of property/hunting without a license, and probably "try them in the court of public opinion," by which I mean run articles with the person's face and name saying "this disgusting fuck killed a horse to fuck it, shun him with all your might?"

The one about the spiders was only scary because there are so fucking many of them . .
If there is only one spider, one clown is much more scary <.<

I assumed the 10K hour rule was a variant of the 3 second (or 5 second in some places) rule.
But it's good to see things saying that genetics plays a part and basically some people are just inherently awesome at things: it means if I'm shit at something, there's no need to bother with it, because clearly that's not what I'm made for.

That's a strawman of what Gladwell said. In a book discussing several factors that make outliers, he pointed out that all the top folks in any field have more than 10k hours of practice. Not that 10k hours make anyone into the leader in some field, just that in addition to other aptitudes and advantages, top of the heap folks all have had a lot of practice.

Ultimately, the 10k hours thing boils down to:
Well, I've noticed that people who are really good at something usually have done it more than people who are not as good. This could be because doing the thing makes it you better at it, or it could be because when you are an absurdly talented athlete people pay you tons of money to do that all day.
Also, I'm going to assign a completely arbitrary number that is in no way actually meaningful. 10,000 hours. There, give me all the awards.
