Ain't no way I'm grabbing a bug while it's still moving. My wife and I are both huge sissies with bugs. Standard protocol here is spray it with Raid until we are sure it's dead, then wait an hour before moving it to the trash.
I know, we suck.
I mean, it's a spray for lots of things, roach being one of them. (Ant/wasp/roach spray)
I had it on hand for ants.
Michigan, specifically southwest.
I'm in Michigan if that helps. Never even known anyone around here who has seen or had a roach problem.
Title cut off, I'm in Michigan and have no history of roaches. Never even seen one before.
I'd add on that the expectation in an individualist society like the US is to become independent and move out. Those ideas are used synonymously in a lot of contexts. Someone who hasn't moved out can be seen as lacking independence. Of course that isn't necessarily true, but it's the perception.
For a young person growing up with these ideas as the standard, there can be a certain safety in forgoing that independence. That was my situation for years, where I was financially independent, but moved back home after my roommates moved away. I was in my mid twenties before I moved out for good.
Sort of? Playing tabletop role-playing games is my go to, but that is either at a friend's house or my house.
It's probably worth mentioning we recognize certain types of people as part of the LGBTQ+ umbrella who were not before. Asexual people, for example.
Is it still considered cannibalism if a sentient race eats another sentient race of a different species?
I have the arranged in the order I use them most. Spoons are on the left, then forks, then knives. I rarely need knives while eating, just for cooking.
I've been down south and seen some before that I mistook for mice. I almost died on the spot.
