How much of a risk is this?

Avoiding fights is the smarter move—period.

😕 So, following your logic—we should probably just stop having sex altogether, huh? Heh...👍

Well, that’s exactly why you have to be cautious when dealing with strangers. 😬

Avoiding fights is definitely the best way to go.

Of course you should avoid fights, but I was really asking from a medical perspective—like, in a hypothetical, isolated scenario...😬

What are the odds that while you're sitting there on the toilet first thing in the morning, a random river otter leaps out and bites you right on the left nut?

Clearly about as high as the chances of you saying something intelligent or useful.👍

exactly the same odds as the right one...

Purely from an anatomical standpoint, the left side hangs a bit lower. That means there's a higher chance of losing the left one. 😁 😁

You completely missed the point. Sadly.
The whole idea was that you just can't afford to waste your energy on every little piece of nonsense life throws at you.

Thomas Hughes40 said:I think you missed the point, unfortunately.
The point was simply that you shouldn't let every little thing that might happen in life get under your skin.

I agree.
But I’m not stressing over "every single little thing," as you put it; I was just curious.
Have you ever actually been curious about something, or do those basic human instincts just not apply to you? 😎 😬
I wasn't worried about the actual odds of someone walking up to me with HIV and passing it to me—it's about how that scenario would play out.
It's purely hypothetical! 😁
Really now.
