    I try to give paper wasps a pass if I randomly see them, but if they come inside or start a nest in outdoor equipment, they’re gone. They only get consideration because they’re pollinators and generally not aggressive, but they still will attack so my patience is thin.

    To them you are a giant who can easily kill them

    And I relish in proving them right. Fuck wasps and fuck your wasp propaganda.

    I’ve given bees snacks when they’re tuckered out on a hot day. I’ve let them rest on me. But with wasps and hornets it’s on sight.

    Tell him to swing his foot down at an angle from the front of the bastard. They jump very quickly, but nearly always forward. If you do it right, they’ll jump right into your foot and get smashed. Also if you miss, they take about a second to re-situate their wings before they’re ready to jump again. If you’re fast you can smash em then.




  • Fair enough. But I also don’t agree with the assessment that it would bring more users in. There are already a ton of instances to pick from. While democratizing an instance seems interesting, if I were constantly in the minority for instance changes, it would be better for me to save my money and simply find an instance that aligns with my preferences. You’d also need a pretty significant amount of paid users to be able to pay any sort of salary, plus the additional headache of sorting out payroll for people who are likely in several different countries. If you just wanted to offset server costs that would be significantly smaller in scope, but then no paid mods.

    I’m not saying don’t try it (anakin), it could maybe be pretty cool, but it seems like a long shot to me personally.
