My name is Wes. I’m currently figuring out career stuff/life plans. I’m relatively new to the EA (I started interacting with it July 12, 2023)

I imagine there is little benefit to stepping on a bug, and high cost(around 2 weeks − 30 Years-ish of life lost), though it does depend on the species and environment. If it’s in your home, I recommend trying to trap it and put it in the trash(Unless the garbage gets crushed with huge force), as it will have access to plenty of nooks & crannies, as well as food, and won’t bother you.
If there’s a bug infestation, you could, in order of what I imagine has the highest value first, and lowest last, a) Leave it if it’s not bothering you too much, b) If it’s bothering you, hire someone to get rid of them humanely(only if you’re in a bug-tolerant environment(e.g. Not annual-firesville or floodtown), c) If it’s bothering you and you’re in a bug-intolerant environment, move, or d) if none of the others work, do b).
Does the stream of people from 80k irritate you in any way?
(Oh and I also am working on career planning this is just a side-gig which might last afew weeks or months hopefully)
You also make a good point regarding how there’s already a powerful movement in NY addressing it that makes my ideas easier(hopefully) to get through to the NY government instead of just voting on bills and sending letters to state legislators
My grandparents live there and told me about it and said that the board focused on the issue would likely listen(so I might have SOME skin in the game)

Do you plan to change how these measurements impact your decisions?
Alright, I edited it. Did I miss anything?
In the coming years, do you plan on making a questionnaire to determine career paths, similar to Giving What We Can? Or maybe something similar but different?
