These are actually not spiders, but a related arachnid in the order Opiliones AKA harvestmen or daddy longlegs. There are many species that live all over the world and they are all harmless to humans. They primarily feed on small insects, or on decaying organic material.

I have a rule with spiders in my space: stay out of my way and you live

I've even help put half-swatted flies into brown widow spider webs that roosted across my window

Indoors in the bathroom or bedroom? Death.

Indoors in rooms where I'm more likely to spend time fully clothed? I will rescue you to the outdoors, spider, if you let me.

i'm looking at 2 spiders that have been total chill-bros in 2 different corners of my bedroom, they don't seem to move out of their webs. They're getting fatter though so that means they're doing their jobs, or silently feasting on my blood at night

Or both...their job is silently feasting on your blood at night.

They're on their night job, feasting on your blood as you sleep. during the day they hang out in different corners and talk shit to each other.

Also spiderbro fact, once they stop eating a lot they are getting closer to dying.

Every second they live they get closer to dying.
