[Orange Wizard]

Is Arx Canadian? I forget.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.

He sleeps all night and he works all day?

He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, he goes to the lavatory.

[mastahcheese]

I thought he was African?

Happy: I saw a wasp on the inside of my apartment, up on the wall.
Deciding to take care of it, I grabbed a sword and a Nerf rifle, then realized those are terrible wasp weapons.
So I put them down and got my tennis racket and a can of aeresol freshing spray and went back to the wasp.
I yelled "Have at thee, knave!" and sprayed at it, but it was out of reach.
I set the can down and grabbed the broom, still holding the racket in my right hand.
I smacked it with the broom, and I could hear it trying to escape the bristles, so I slammed the broom down.
It got out, and started flying, so I swung the racket down, sending it to the floor, then raised it and turned it to the harder edge, and chopped down on it.
I then stabbed it a few times to make sure it was dead.

Mastahcheese: 1.     Wasp: 0

Poor wasp

[Bauglir]

Code: [Select]

>>> bool ("False")
True


Interesting. And yet,

Code: [Select]

>>>"False" == True
FalseI should look into the nuance of why things get cast differently in those different statements. There's probably a very good reason.

In other news, I slept for 10 hours and I feel great.

Poor wasp

 

Terrible way to die.

THEY WOULD SHOW US NO MERCY.

WE MUST NOT SHOW THEM ANY.

*SPRAY*

[TD1]

Even if it were true that they show us no mercy, which it isn't, then you're still talking about their nature. Is it therefore your nature to kill indiscriminately based on perceived wrongs?

I'd guess that because there is a string present bool() returns true, but because the string 'false' is not exactly the boolean true it returns false.

Also, I'm not Canadian. Just carving my way through the jungles of darkest Africa* with an axe.

Judge, Jury, and Executioner?

Yes. I AM DE LAW!

[TD1]

Then the law is inherently corrupt. Kill or be killed. This is fine...kill, because you don't like the look of something, or fear that it might cause you some discomfort? If a woman were to cause as much pain to you everyday, would you kill her? Presumably, you'd simply avoid her, live and let live.

When you kill that wasp, you kill something unique. There will never be one quite like it ever again. It is the culmination of centuries upon centuries of evolution, it had lived and, as a species, survived because of an inbuilt defensive mechanism. This mechanism, this self defense that it hasn't even used on you (nor will it, if it gets the chance) is what condemns it to death.

Last night I tried folding up a comforter and stacking it under my pillows. Super comfortable. And I think it actually helped clear my sinuses and relieve sinus pressure enough for me to pass out and sleep for 9 or 10 hours.

Praise the sleep. Actually not feeling as sick now as the last couple days.

Next time I see a wasp, I'll be sure to try reasoning with it, and let you know how that works.

Where were you when Tiruin killed a cockroach? Nobody complained about that.

Or, just think of it in worst case scenarios...on its side, eternal nothingness, an end to existence. On yours (unless you're allergic, in which case it's understandable, even if still rather tasteless) a bit of pain that you wouldn't even remember after a day or two.

As for Tiruin killing a cockroach, same deal. All life is sacred to the possessor of it. Death should be the last resort, not the first go-to.
