    You’re going to get next to no help at all without a location, and even with a location there’s not really enough detail in the photo for a good identification.

    People will need to know what country you live in, what region of said country if it’s a larger one like the United States or Australia, but even with that information you’re only going to get guesses because you really can’t see identifying features on the spider in this photo.



  • There should be absolutely no room for any kind of personal distinction between the two.
    Knowledge can be proven.
    Faith/belief cannot be proven.

    If you can prove something is real then you cannot believe in it.
    I don’t believe the moon is real because I have knowledge that it is indeed real, and I can prove it by telling you to just look at it.
    I cannot factually know that God doesn’t exist because I cannot prove that using any kind of experiment or test, so I cannot “know” that it’s true no matter how strong my belief in that statement is.

    Any “personal definition” of either of those is factually wrong. If we could all walk around with our own personal meanings behind concepts we wouldn’t have a functional language.













  • I stuck with Windows for as long as I did because of the widespread compatibility and ease of use, and I still use Windows 10 on one laptop that I’ve been using for 4 years because I just don’t want to go through the pain of switching everything over when I’m likely to just upgrade the hardware before long anyway.
    But I did switch over to Mint on my desktop and I’ve been shocked at how easy it was to switch. I haven’t ran into any insurmountable compatibility issues and flat hub makes everything a breeze.
    I’m super happy with the frequent updates and The cinnamon user interface is very familiar and easy to adapt to.
    That being said, I’ll never use a Windows operating system on a new machine or build ever again.
    Windows 11 is just trash.
    The UI changes alone left a bad taste in my mouth but you can undo most of them with a little bit of work, But you just shouldn’t have to.
    Then with the addition to advertisements in the taskbar and start menu I’d had enough.
    I’m over the top, just fucking DONE with being a commodity and I refuse to use any paid service that serves ads.
    Yes, Windows comes with most machines but it’s not a free service.
    And the option to stay on Windows 10 and continue receiving security updates on for a monthly fee is just short of extortion.
    My personal tin foil hat theory is that they purposely made windows 11 trash so that people would support a subscription based Windows service with Windows 10.





  • It’s a moral dilemma between a life and a life, one is not lesser than the other regardless of whether one is human or not, so the issue then becomes which one is more valuable.
    But valuable to whom?
    Society? I may think my worst enemy is a bastard but they’re likely to be a productive member of society.
    But valuable to me personally? I’m picking my cat every single time, it’s like asking to pick between your worst enemy and your child, it doesn’t even require weighing the options.
