To be perfectly honest, I find the Eldar to be the most sympathetic faction in the 'verse. Granted, they're still dicks.

If I had to pick one faction to win, it would be the Tyranids. They aren't doing what they're doing because they're evil or they want to cause pain. They're just fucking hungry. You ever been so fucking hungry that you ate something? Something that might have been alive at one point? Something that probably died painfully?
Good job, you're equally 'evil' as a Tyranid.

Unless you stalk the deadliest prey and rip them apart with your bare hands before devouring raw gobbets of the other white meat, no.

Does she own a car? If so, there is a whole list of horrible hilarious things you can do. Seran wrap it is a easy one, but it's not very effective, as you can un-seran wrap a car was a pair of scissors and ten minutes of time. I recommend you grease the underside of all her door handles, and if she leaves her car doors unlocked at night, both grease her steering wheel and shifter/all the little levers on the console AND lock her doors.
If she doesn't own a car, a good one is to seran wrap over a doorway at face height, and wait inside a nearby room, and try to scare her through that particular doorway. Or you can tie strings/fishing line to a whole shitpile of pots and pans in the kitchen, connecting them to a tripwire ankle-height in the doorway, so when she comes through all the pots and pans come crashing to the floor.
Or you can take all the shit out of her refridgerator, and hide inside it. Pop out and scare her. Really, hiding anywhere and scaring the shit out of her is a good one, especially if you don't live together BUT can still somehow get permission to her home (roommates, family members, etc).

I usually tend to judge all life based upon its individual actions and intentions, rather than the form it happens to take, and thus generally don't see any entity as inherently more valuable than any other. Because of this, whenever I must fulfill my mortal need for sustenance, I'm pretty much willing to consume whatever is available to me; be it plant, insect, animal, human, or whatever.

That being said, I stand strongly against the unnecessary suffering of any life form, and strive to prevent it from occurring whenever & wherever I am able.

That's a non-sequitur, to be honest. Presumably go going via the least pain-induced, you'd focus on the less intelligent forms of life. It doesn't work in a worth vs value sense, either. If you were guaranteed the same amount of suffering would result from eating a fly or a baby, you would choose the fly. Part of this is because you're human and as such can't be entirely neutral, but i doubt that would be the prime factor.

Actually, if those were my only two options, I'd probably end up eating both of them in short order. As a single fly sure as hell isn't going to do much to stave off my hunger.
In fact, I may even come to the conclusion that the nourishment gained from eating the lone fly would be so insignificant that it wouldn't be worth the suffering brought about by devouring it in the first place, ultimately deciding to disregard the fly as a meal choice altogether.

Cannibalism is a great way to get a prion disease.

Bah, I can potentially contract diseases from a lot of things I partake in. Seeing as I've somehow managed to stay fit and healthy thus far in spite of that, I don't any reason why I wouldn't take my chances with long pork as well.

Perhaps there should be more focus on making human flesh safer for human consumption, though. After all, there's a practically limitless supply of dead people to go around, it would help us to become less dependent on farm animals for meat, and just think of all the space we'd save without the need for those pesky graveyards. It's the perfect solution!

Oh come on. You know what i meant. Shall we say a giant frog of equal size, with either choice being the only meal you'd ever need? With the exact same amount of suffering induced from either death through a carefully arranged butterfly effect.

Unless I had some reason to believe that the abnormal-sized frog was providing more of an overall benefit to myself and the world than the infant ever reasonably could throughout the course of its lifespan, yeah, I'd probably eat the frog.

On the other hand, the frog could be a member of a rare and endangered species of giant amphibian, in which case I would just feel terrible if I were to thin their numbers even further by consuming one of them...
