There's this huge spider that showed up and built a web right over the door of my workplace a few days ago. I've been keeping an eye on him but constantly advocating leaving him alone because he's not even a dangerous kind of spider. Well tonight he got offended by a new person standing in the doorway and tried to descend right onto their head, so I decided he was no longer welcome here and had to go. So I got this really powerful spider poison out, I've seen someone hit a black widow with it and it dropped out of its web instantly.

I sprayed it, and it descended on a web to try to escape the poison. And I sprayed it and sprayed it and sprayed it again. It climbed back up, descended down again, crawled up the wall, ran all around. It was awful, and I was starting to freak out. It's obvious how much it seriously did not want to die. I kept on spraying until I got a blister on my finger and I'm still fucking shaking.

How the hell do "people" kill for a living? How can you be a carnist? How soulless do you have to be to be okay with killing? This has ruined my whole night and it was one fucking bug killed in self defense.

        Because you very clearly are.

        Like you literally just compared a spider to some sort of malicious gunman. This is so laughably obvious fuck off.

          I mean yeah you've obviously decided that from the moment you misread my post and got yourself all worked up about it but I've been posting here actively for months and I'm not a troll so you're literally just being an asshole to another user for absolutely no reason and hopefully when you look back on this conversation in a few hours you'll feel bad about that

            No just find it highly suspicious when an extremely implausible story boohooing over how you had to kill a harmless animal is your only post in the vegan comm

              I just don't often make posts dude, I comment in the vegan comm plenty when it gets posts. And I posted it here so I could avoid carnists just going "lol its just a spider stop being weird" but instead I had to deal with Mr Sherlock McReddit attacking me anyway

                You're the one that in your original post said you had previously used cancerous insecticides before. Also: https://hexbear.net/comment/3447015

                  Why do you keep making stuff up? I have never said anything like that. If you mean the black widow I said this poison killed instantly, that was by a coworker that I was actively telling not to kill the spider and to leave it alone.

                    You coulda just not kept spraying it? I don't know it all just sounds extremely implausible and begging for forgiveness which is not what this channel is for. You killed the spider and you relentlessly pursued it to do so using a chemical that nobody should ever use. I don't know what else to tell you.

                      I was pretty sure the spider was going to die either way after the first spray so I wanted to make sure it died as quickly as possible rather than slowly and horribly. It's so weird to frame that as "relentlessly pursuing it."

                      And I'm not begging for forgiveness because I did nothing to be forgiven for. The point of the post is that while killing in self defense is morally justified it still feels horrible.

                        shoulda just smashed it instead of spraying cancerous chemicals all over your workplace door that's all I am saying if you actually believe any of what you are saying or if any of it is true that is.

                        I am also denying that this was in any way "self defense". Come on you know that's bullshit. If you're truly remorseful it could only be because you know what you did was wrong instead of continually trying to justify what you in your initial post stated you thought was not dangerous.

                        That is why this feels like bait.

                          I agree. It's not that simple which is why I went for the poison anyway but if I had known the poison would work like that I would have found another way.

                          I am also denying that this was in any way "self defense".

                          Dude you've already called me a liar like 10 different times over various "contradictions" which every time just turned out to be you not knowing how to read. I do not care what you deny, you've lost any credibility already.

                            You literally just called it self defense.

                            Before that you called it defense of a coworker which was also bullshit.

                              I know I did, because it was. When I warned the lady about the spider currently descending onto her head she stepped straight into the middle of the road. That's a dangerous situation created by the spider.

                              Before that you called it defense of a coworker

                              No I didn't because none of my coworkers were involved in this story. You still don't know how to read.

                                sounds like a dangerous situation created by you not just going to grab the thing or brushing it off of her, again I find every part of this story to be an excuse for using bug spray on a harmless critter and contaminating the area with a deadly chemical.

                                    Now it's massive and unidentified? Thought you said it was not dangerous? So it was definitely identified or was it not?

                                    BTW, "massive" spiders do not build webs.

                                      I have said many times here that I could not 100% ID the spider but that I believed it not to have dangerous venom. Why are you still lying about literally everything I say?
