Spiders are our friends. They eat bugs. Let them be little insect-control partners in your household.

Most importantly yellowjackets, the terrorists of the natural world.

I was putting up curtains for my parents this morning and a spider hanging out nearby had its web wobbled by pulling out the curtain pole, then it just oscillated violently for like 30-60 seconds.

Remarkably versatile creatures, i would probably die if i was getting shaken that quickly. But i guess it happens a lot to them because they usually live on their cobwebs, in suspension and at the mercy of wind or passing beasts.

Until you have 30+ running around at night leaving webs on and around everything that you get to walk through and clean up. And I mean everything floor to ceiling strands from them dropping down, across doorways, spanning anything they walk across. No. I don't have a problem with them outside, do your work little buddies, but not in the house. It's bad enough anything in my garage gets covered in webs within a day, I don't need it in the house.

What's the context behind the image?

And I was just kind of pointing, and [Bonner] like, "Don't you point at me!" And I was like, "Oh, shouldn't have said that." And I didn't say a word. So stupid! Like, that is the stupidest thing I've ever done. I'm telling you, everyone's like, "That is so dumb." I think it was so dumb. But it was pissing her off, and I couldn't help myself. I could not. She was losing her shit, and all I was doing was literally pointing.

Top tier mind games 😆

She's quite iconic. Genuinely a very painterly image and the clip would be funny to show to people in the future out of context.

I'll tell my future grandchildren that it's an American version of a Haka

It is interesting she curls her finger up, if you are pointing for a third person to follow your gaze you hold your finger straight. She is pointing for herself and that finger is like a gun sight.

lots of people don't hold their finger straight when pointing things out for others. which is really confusing sometimes yeah

Yes, she was trolling an opposing player.
