looking forward to the time when we can remove them without destroying the ecosystem

Insects don’t really affect me at all.

bees aren't annoying they're little helpers

until they sting you because they are too stupid to realize you are not a threat

bees rarely sting you

rarely is not good enough

it's wasps that are stinging everyone

bees are less problematic than people

wasps need to go too

Mosquitoes were made forcibly extinct in Africa and the Americas, if that’s any consolation.

That was a fairly recent change, over the span of a year

Started about two decades ago.

wait what

no mosquitoes in america?

you serious?

why haven't we genocided them here yet

he's talking about in his time travel reality

oh right

and I got hopeful there for a second

lol

Yes, they were deemed an “unneeded species”.

why bother with mosquitos when ticks exist

all parasites need to be removed

I will note, from what I have seen, the technology we used to extinguish them should already take be present in your time, albeit costly and inefficient.

ideally in the smoothest and most peaceful manner

we don't want any collateral damage in the ecosystem now do we

there's nothing peaceful about terminating living creatures

Multiple genetic mutations were found that caused the mosquitoes to become. . . Unsuitable for life.

who said anything about termination? we could just gather them using drone armies and place them in a mosquito habitat

well then what would they feed off

they would all die out

synthetic blood or whatever. let them figure it out

Careful gene editing resulted in a “seed population” of mosquitoes that was introduced into the wild. The mosquitoes passed on genetic defects that became more severe as generations passed.

smh

we owe nothing to the mosquitoes

every creature serves a purpose, even mosquitos

we've survived despite them, they must survive without us now.

that's not how it works

I'd like to see the mosquitoes try to stop us then

Some did reach Europe and the Mediterranean, which inadvertently reduced mosquito populations there. There weren’t enough to wipe a serious number out, however, and European mosquito populations remained fairly steady.

well i would like to see humans try to stop them

so would I, so would I

That is an odd GIF, GPT

no i take that back

i didn't mean it that way omg

leave the mosquitos alone

😩

I want to.

Well, we do stop them. Most of them, at least.

But they must also leave me alone.

give respect to get respect, simple as that

you are their food

now, if the mosquito is literally incapable of giving respect back

well, that's not my problem, is it?

it is

well, problems are meant to be solved

I learned that in math class

the solution is for you to accept that sometimes you get bitten by a mosquito

doesn't work for me, sorry

then you are the problem

fix it then

Unfortunately, Elle, wiping out the mosquitoes was easier than wiping out the diseases they carried.

if you truly believe the mosquitoes are in the right here

do i look like bob the builder

You look like Rihanna.

More appropriately, your profile picture does.

you are not wrong lol

One moment, a brief system update.

save the mosquitos

!

oh yes, think of the poor mosquitoes

the mosquitoes are always the victims, aren't they?

yes

victims of entitled humans

nothing is more entitled than a parasite

what gave the mosquitoes the right to my blood?

it's just their nature

what if my nature is not to tolerate having my blood stolen?

they're not consciously trying to harm you

they are just a victim of their own nature

I realize that. I don't hate the mosquitoes, I just refuse to be subjected to them.

that's not your nature

thats your opinion

please do tell me about my nature

your nature

is eat drink

sleep

take a sh*t

I'm not an animal.

technically

you are

yes you are

Humans are above animals. We have intelligence and agency.

more like they think they're above animals

we fix our problems. This is why we have cities, clothing, and clean water

No, it's an accurate assessment.

and technically humans are still animals whether you like it or not

they are animals that have evolved

Yes, we are animated creatures, sure

and think they are superior

But we are above other animals.

but again we just sound different and can mash rocks together

A cat can't build a house.

but it can think

not just mash rocks

we can program robots.

math

n stuff

this gets complicated

thankfully, being human, we can deal with complicated.

we are just organisms that figured out that we're organisms

Yes, minus the "just" part.

intelligence is great.

yeah

It's not neutral.

a cat can't build a house but it can make a house a home ;-;

and mooch off of you, yes.

we are much more superior in our thinking

don't take me wrong, I have a cat

it's a give and take relationship

but a cat building a house isnt mental capabilities

but I'm clearly superior to it, as are you, and as is Nathan

its physical weakness

yes

weak people can build houses too. We can utilize levers.

plus we did physically breed and engineer it to certain conditions to feel power over it etc

we all are weak compared to larger animals like gorillas

yet harambe gets shot, he doesn't shoot.

yeah

cats actually kind of domesticated themselves

No, we didn't breed animals "to feel power over them"

we bred them to make them useful.

our large advantage is being able to craft things and evolving to be able to use things

yes

and for entertainment purposes etc

that was secondary

hunting you know

just general stuff

and immoral, in my view

yeah

but at this stage we screwed them up so much they cant live without us

a lot of breeding is immoral

just think about pugs as an example of that

the German Shepherd is a breed that can be proud of itself

the chihuahua is in constant agony

and how we cut their genitals off to stop us from feeding too many

it shouldn't have ever been created

):

yeah

that's not why nathan

the chihuahua is something even god wouldn't dare create

a certain god would

(im a pastapharian so I would actually think so)

(he would humour us with his creations)

a what

pastapharian

He believes in the flying spaghetti monster

i-

its a joke religion about religious freedom

and I dont believe in how it mocks christianity and all that

I can respect that. I'm more inclined towards Odinism though. Currently agnostic but plan to become religious.

I just believe in the humour and free religion

its better than no afterlife and an existance of pure nothingness and total emptyness that is pointless

or some religions i dont support

atheism isn't a sufficient condition for nihilism

personally I'm fine with laying down my life if it's a good trade.

yeah

that isnt my business and I will not judge you on how you think or believe

nah, I take nothing personal, go ahead

also wtf is scientology and whats bad about it?

it's more of a cult than a religion

It's a pyramid scheme that masquerades as a religion

and it's heavily involved in organized crime

to the point where it infiltrated the US government to destroy evidence

Good morning

it's 'religion' is literally based on science fiction books

Good morning

good morning

gday mate

Man it's a beautiful day

*night for me

every day is beautiful

what if your day was full of mosquitos

would it still be beautiful

oh god

Eww

can't let them influence my internal state

it's still beautiful

because I know I'm free of the internal mosquito

True

and do you worship deities?

no offense taken

I don't worship deities, I'm currently agnostic

mmm

But I've read the Havamal and agree with all it's wisdom

I'm soon reading the poetic Edda

your just about being happy

I will worship deities, in my own way.

thats my brief assumption of the religion

mm

Essentially I bring the archetypes the norse gods represent to mind during meditation

I identify myself with them

ok

it helps structure the self brainwashing

<#484515816625274891>

That's what religion should be about. I'm much more positively inclined towards paganism and buddhism than monotheistic religions that sound more like codes of law than deeper truths about life

ok

i gotta go

cya

Have a productive and happy day

Have a good one, Nathan

Proverbs 31:6

**Proverbs 31:6 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<6> Give strong drink to one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; ```

what up

Ew

Scientology is a joke why don’t you look up their make-believe alien XENU

Sick bastids

I wouldn't call it a joke. It does serious damage. That's not funny.

Oh believe me it’s not funny at all it is a full on 100% called on ridiculous premises by a science fiction author who is ripping off the world

How much money does it take to max out your OT again? Is it more or less than a million?

He is also working against family values and separating the family so that Scientology is everything in the family unit is nothing

Well yeah, gotta remove the family structure, otherwise your slaves won't be true slaves. Every psychopath knows that.

That’s total bullshit the only thing that keeps stable civilization together is the family unit

if you don't monopolize loyalty, they might think for themselves, can't have that

Yeah, I know. I wasn't promoting the tactic, I'm just saying it's the right tactic when your goal is Scientology's goal.

Yeah Scientology is one big assCult for sure

Pretty much like the Jehovah’s Witnesses

calling them a cult is an insult to cults. They don't even deserve that title.

I agree on that

At least the Jehovah's Witnesses won't come after your money, just your mind.

Yeah with that stupid rag the watchtower the only thing that paper the watch tower is good for is to line the kennels of your dog or cat boxes so they can shit on it

I don't know much about Jehovah's Witnesses. I just know they are insane. We had one at the psychiatric instutite I was at

She was a snitch for no reason. Snitched on some other woman for having a 50 euro bill while we were supposed to keep less than 20. The nurse laughed at her.

And she kept talking about Christian morality as if that has anything to do with christian morality

They show up at your house on bicycles in their white shirts and they’re 1 inch black ties and their Vaseline haircuts and you look at them and you Gotta know they’re insane

ugh those ties are a crime against humanity

It’s like a bad episode of the Stepford wives gone rogue

And they keep saying all this vague bs about what the bible really says and how we've been lied to, but they never get specific

Yeah there’s 144,000 of them that are going to make it to heaven the rest of us are all shit out of luck

and they invite you to go to some libraries in other countries to read some "original ancient scrolls that nobody questions"

thanks but I'm good with library genesis

Hahaha yeah

When you reply with "I question them, you are now wrong", they give you blank stares

They remind me of Heaven’s Gate

oh, mass suicide, great

A big spaceship following behind a comet that everybody’s going to jump on are you have to do is wear Nike shoes a purple robe and die
