Following on fom another topic,

Spiders, like, hate or scared? Pick your closest options :)

I don't like spiders but I wouldn't say I am scared of them, unless they do that playing dead thing, then shoot off somewhere. The ones with long legs are the worsy, they're all spidery :p

Spiders don't really bother me, they are just another part of nature. As long as they don't come to attack me I will either leave them or move them out. If they try to attack me yes i will kill them :p But hey man it's self defense!!! :p

Where's the option for "meh"?

I won't let them crawl over me or anything, but they aren't scary. I steer clear of redbacks, and kill them if they are around the house, because they can actually hurt me.

Edit: Also, where is the topion for "leave them be"?

Pretty bias poll towards the poor spiders.

Personally I won't go near them, but from a distance I can watch them and do a staring contest! If they come near me, I scream like a little girl and get my dad to get it away from me cry.gifno.gifalien.gif

I went with hate but I dont mind most of them.

Do You Remove Them or Kill Them?

Kill the ones in my apartment, leave be ones in the garden (they catch mosquitos).

Which Ones Do You Dislike the Most?

HUGE GREAT BIG GIANT ONES :)

The best way to stop being afraid of them is to start playing with the little ones (let them walk around your hands) and the work your way up :laugh:

Glad to see that I'm not the only person with an irrational fear of spiders. I'm okay with the small-bodied, long-legged spiders, but the big-bodied ones just gross me out. I kill them whenever I see them, but I think that's more of a reaction to my fear than anything else. Taking them outside would be the better option, but there's no way in hell I'm going near that thing with anything other than a swatter.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic

      By +Edouard · Posted

      I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.

      Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all. EDIT: That does not mean that I find state support for social needs unreasonable. Quite the contrary. Together with solid workers' rights we exactly had exactly that in Germany for decades in the form of the Sozialstaat which was as the scandinavian social democratic very successful - until the number of people who drew from those resources dramatically increased (ironically a project of social democrat and green proponents).
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.

      ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
