Try earplugs! Even just turning the volume down 70% changes the intensity of words. With earplugs in I could let somebody curse at me to my face and just let it slide.

You don’t have to be deaf to enjoy the benefits of silence. Hearing is a choice, but most people default to full open.

I don’t want to be brutal or anything but this is a really horrible way to murder 4 people, and the only fitting punishment is to execute her by mushroom poisoning. Notice the timeline it took the survivor 7 weeks to recover, and those who died it was over a week of hospitalized pain and organ failure.

Also her estranged husband is kind of complicit? He suspected attempted poisoning twice before and declined the lunch? But you don’t warn your parents? That might be hard to live with.
