Even with that criteria, it still doesn't work out for the bees. They could instead be in the wild, keeping 100% of their honey through the winter, but instead, we take most or all of it and kill several of them. That's not symbiosis, that's exploitation.
No. We could harvest honey in a manner that doesn't harm any bees in theory, but in practice, many are killed. It's not intentional, but the intent isn't how veganism measures harm, the dead bees are.
Also consider that the bees don't want you to take their honey, which really undermines the principle of symbiosis.
We are gathered here today to remember our brother. He was called Captain Falcon, and then simply Jeremus. He might have been very wealthy, or maybe not, but I don't need a screenshot to prove to me that he was the richest among us in spirit. He fought bravely; he touched our hearts. We will never forget him.
I would have followed you, my brother, my Captain. Be at peace, son of Totse.
I used to go through my dad's floppy disks and pull off all the metal sliders. I have no idea whether it caused him any problems at work, but there were a lot of them and I never got caught.

It was his fault. I'm fine with conflict, but he actually DARED me to try to get to him. He was bragging that I never could. So what was I supposed to do, just let him get away with thinking I couldn't?
Same deal with Raspberry Jam/Raptor Ribs. Never brag about how I can never get you. Because I will. These people forget that I have absolutely no life at all, and will spend 24/7 on my plans.
The only one who's gotten away was Tokerface. My white whale…
I get it, you had your fun. You should make amends with him and convince him to come back.

WOW XANICK.
JUST SMDH
If I end up making threads that have already been made, it clutters up your screen unnecessarily. Not entirely selfish, therefore, but if Aldra is right, I would agree that it's not ideal to add an advanced search. My last request, by contrast, was purely selfish.
I'd like to search keywords in thread titles only so that I can find out if a thread about a topic already exists before making one myself. Currently, my search results yield a series of posts in unrelated threads. Not a huge deal, since the forum I want to post in right now doesn't have a huge number of pages in its history, but this might be helpful going forward.

NO! It's only NIS that does this! Hence, the thread I made!
Just tried, you're right. I've inadvertently gotten around this in Safari by pinning the NIS tab, which essentially means it's always open and stays within that domain. Whenever a link would take me to a different site, my browser moves it over from the pinned tabs to its own. Maybe this is a feature in yours as well?

No, goddamnit. That isn't the fucking point. I am not talking about embedded videos. I am talking about directly linked ones.
Oh, I see. Isn't that something we have to configure in our browsers?
Guys, can we please stop self-narrating with the use of asterisks? I just cringed so hard that my eye sealed itself shut and won't open back up. The lid is all fucked up, and it's very painful. I know it's fun, but people are getting hurt.
I disagree. I think the more invested we all are with the internet, especially in matters of civic discourse, the more our internet activity will come to appear meaningful.
