    Why do we assume the human wants to harm you? If they’re in your attic, that means they would have already killed you if they wanted.

    Chances are if you maintain peace, they will.

      I don’t want random dildos hanging out in my house without my knowledge, friendly or not. At least with the roaches, I don’t have to have a conversation.

      It’s so interesting that people assume the worst of the human, unironically says something about society. I was just imagining a homeless person.

        I take your point, but the reasoning “this person has already demonstrated themselves willing, able, and motivated to breach a major social contract related to your safety; therefore I fear that they may try to breach more” is not unreasonable. The proportion of “home invaders who are also (willing to be) murderers” is gonna be way larger than the proportion of willing murderers among the general population.

      Because humans are much more sneaky and vicious than that. People like that in the real world are squatters who can and have harmed them on discovery.
