You won't kill spiders but you want people to abort their unborn children? I would say his reasoning would be that spiders don't know any better?
my reasoning is that spiders are already born, so you probably don't have an ethical right to harm them without a good reason
whereas abortions, in my view, are basically giving unborn children a free ticket to eternal paradise
kind of a big difference there
Spiders are also brainless, primal predators that are essentially organic robots. They don't love or hate, they just hunt, hide, breed, and explore.
They literally do have brains tho
Not technically, no. They have supraoesophageal ganglia, which act as a kind of brain, but they have no capability for thought of any kind. It's just for directing movement and such.
supraoesophageal ganglia is Latin for spider brain
Yes, and a spider brain != a brain. It's a very informal brain; it let's them know when they're hungry, tired, and let's them move. You'd be more accurate to call it a complicated nervous system than a brainy animal.
but a brain is just a complicated nervous system (or rather part of one)
Calling an animal with as complex a nervous system as spiders have brainless is dumb. Not having emotions doesn't make something brainless

That's it, regulating senses. It is not a formal brain, it is not a complex cerebral organ like a dolphin's, or a dog's. The spider's ganglia (the equivalent of a brain) are literally just sensory regulators. Zero intellect, zero thought, just predator instinct. If it can't produce thought, it's brainless.

Dragonflies have them too iirc, as do crayfish.

Yeah but they wanna eat the shit that bothers you in your house!
Of course, and as long as they stay away from me, they can do that. But if they get too close they meet the bug-broom.

well optimally the parent should have prevented a pregnancy from occuring in the first place via the plethora of anti-conception options that a first-world nation provides.
cunt
yeah but we should kill spiders too
Only the ones that stand in my way to total world domination.

>Critics mad that's it's not WoW: the movie
>Everyone else is entirely unfamiliar with the franchise and complains about not understanding the movie (kind of legit)
>Twitter posts from French moviegoers about the film are very positive
Most of the people who played the franchise are loving it. Good consumer response is more important to a film's success than critical. For example, look towards Man of Steel.

Spiders that make their webs in places that are out of my way can stay. They eat all the moths and shit that like my house.
If you make a Web beside my bed or you show up in my shower you're dead.

House spiders generally will die outside the house. It's like putting a lion raised in captivity out in the wild.
i don't actually think it's that big of a deal, but i guess that would depend on what counts as a house spider
Anything that's lends towards the Grandaddy Long-Legs body type tends to be a house spider. Those and the really tiny spiders (sans wolf/jumping spider).

I made a few errors that dragged the score down :^(
Errors don't reduce your score, they take 3 seconds off of your time.

Can that be said about DOOM or the original Super Mario Bros?
People still make .wads for DOOM and DOOM II 23 years after its release. Romero himself made some for DOOM II not too long ago iirc.

For reference, did you like The Last Stand?
It was pretty boring. Had a few alright scenes. I actually enjoy Xmen Origins Wolverine more because it's hilariously terrible. The Last Stand is just boring schlock.
Just making sure, since Apocalypse is being toted as worst than TLS.

I hate it when people throw out the "it looks like a PS2 game!" comments. Like, if you seriously think that any AAA game released this gen looks like it belongs on a PS2, then you need to go back and actually play the PS2 again because you're looking at it with rose-tinted goggles.
