OP is making wrong assumptions. Yes snakes have reptile brains but they aren't trying to kill you. It's not like they can do much with you once you're dead, unless you have an anaconda in which case you have my full respect.
I have a California Kingsnake (5ft long). Most of the time she's furniture, except the one day a week I feed her (sometimes it's even less than that). Sometimes I take her out of the tank and sit with her on the computer. Yes she'll sometimes wrap herself around my neck, but it's just for anchoring. She's not squeezing to kill, and even if she did try to squeeze I can overpower her. She's cute, she does silly things.
Brooklyn, lived above a crack dealer who loved to test car stereos all night long, every day with Dad rock. Wednesday at 4am? Yup! Saturday at 8am? You bet your fucking ass.
He also had a giant black lab who he let pee freely anywhere, including inside the stairwell. One day that dog ran away.
Cops also help that. As much as I'm for firearm regulation, in areas where you need a license (NYC) cops will only give those out to their buddies. There was a SCROTUS court case about it.
I'm currently in the middle of learning a new language as an adult. I'm using Duolingo for the formal grammar lessons, but most of my learning is honestly coming from music, audiobooks, and reading comics. Recently made a few friends who speak it so that helps too.
First they came for the Communists...
Then they came for the Socialists...
Then they came for the trade unionists...
Then they came for the Jews...
Then they came for me...
The poem starts with "first they came for the communists", but by the time they actually came for the communists they had already started hunting down disabled and queer people. One of the first things they did was burn down the Institute of Sexology, but you never hear about it. By the time they come for the communists, it's too late.
How many do you think have died in the El Salvadorean gulag
