Are you not familiar with the “ignore” function on this site? Ever since a frequent poster here told me about it, my experience on HO has improved multitudes.
I’m frankly surprised you wouldn’t be aware of the option.

It’s a valuable utility and pleased one particularly thin skinned perpetually offended user is using it on me. Woot woot.

There was a time I would challenge any daredevil but now I think about safety a lot. I’ve jumped moving train compartments from outside (from one to another), a thing I can’t believe I was stupid enough to do. I’ve done so many stuff like that. But today I wait at twice the safe distance until the train stops, to get in.
I don’t walk in the dark without a good torch light at all, for the fear of snakes. But there was a time I had no difference between day and night to go out. So much has changed with time.

For fear of just snakes? What about spiders?

I’m frankly surprised you would come to the conclusion I am unaware of the ignore function.
I don’t tend to ignore posters who are making comments in response to my comments, as was the case of the thread that is on my mind, but perhaps it’s time to start.
Everyone deals with conflict in their own way. If you prefer to engage people to the point of taking things personally, that’s certainly your prerogative. But you might just have a better time if you didn’t engage people who piss you off.
My time here and elsewhere is too precious to be chasing drama >shrug<

Thank you for your insights.
Chasing drama?
Right.
Not scared of spiders at all. I’m scared of the venom of a snake, nothing else. Maybe the reason is that we don’t have any venomous spiders in Sri Lanka.
Also I’m not scared of other things like cockroaches etc.
Oh and I’m scared of the venomous dark green centipedes. They are really venomous, and more than that painful when they sting. I mean I don’t run away, I don’t touch them in any way, like catching them to throw away etc. Lol.

I’ve been trying to figure out if I really should give in to my urge to disable my oven’s self-clean auto-lock features.
I could cook my pizzas at 900°F! Rock-n-Roll!

How can you tell? Do you get some sort of notification?

There was a conversation and an offer where mute was pointed out and couldn’t be refused. Now this person is living happily ever after.

It’s worse…you’re gonna go blind.

I’ve heard the first warning sign is needing to shave your palms.[1]
That’s the stage before you go blind.
[1] The wiki doesn’t really go into much detail about pain and suffering but IIRC, the young man hit puberty fairly early and was mercilessly tormented by his classmates for having a hairy right palm, and of course he was right-handed.

I have a fear of storage units.
I think mostly because of “Silence of the Lambs”, but also because one I frequent is an internal unit, and has rodents in its traps. I say to myself “Don’t look down…don’t look down…don’t look down”.

Sweet. Do it and report back.
Love that show. And it also explains why most of my summer dresses are strapless. I wish I could do little heels all the time. Well in winter here in the NE I can wear my Morticia Adams dresses. I’m not bad I’m just drawn that way. I should change my name to Jessica
