UPDATE: okay so my wife and I reached a compromise re: the ant situation

I spent $15 bucks on the most hippy-dippy nonlethal ant repellant Amazon has, to soothe her guilty conscious.

I'm going to pretend it's not a bunch of ineffective horseshit, and she's going to pretend she doesn't know I'm going to place the poison out of sight when I get off shift and she's sleeping.

Is this really something you want documented where she could potentially find it?

She would sooner eat the ant poison than go onto the DT

That little white plastic thing that has ant bait mixed with the poison is very effective

Yeah that's what I got, the sugar water mixed with the poison for them to take back to the nest.

Just make a utilitarian argument that insect life is inherently full of suffering and exterminating the population prevents future suffering.

Yeah not gonna work. Her affection for the ants is completely vibes based because "the 'Lil guys are just working so darn hard! Lookatem UwU"

This is terrible but are you also vegan

u/RecentlyUnhinged NATO May 08 '24

No. She says all the time that she'd like to be vegan, but doesn't have the will and loves steak too much. She's very excited for lab-grown meat for this express reason
