  • It’s really difficult. Not because you will turn evil of your own free will, but because you will have to do terrible things to maintain stability and to keep yourself from being usurped by spies. If you became dictator of any country, you would immediately start to get attacked from many sides by both spies and also revolutionaries who think of themselves as the good guy. In order to do anything it takes time. This is the only way to win the people over. Becoming a dictator is no doubt going to lead to massive economic decline in the near term unless you become a right wing dictator who has favor with the business and merchant classes. If you try to actually become a benevolent dictator and actually free the people, most of the people you would think were your allies would also blame you for everything that is wrong and turn against you, the business class would fund propaganda against you. The internationalists would fund your opposition to gain back their foreign claims to your industry and minerals.

    People will feel as if they have every right to criticize you in every way, if you don’t oppress them, but if you do, you will rightfully be called a tyrant. If you find your own propaganda you will be called a tyrant, but the people you think would be your allies, will not understand that there is propaganda on the other side.

    It’s very difficult indeed. Within a few years of taking power you would immediately have to deal with a torrent of spies, foreign media, coups, and whatever else. This is why only right wing governments only ever last more then a few years in history.

    Vladimir Lenin is a great example of this, he genuinely saw himself as being benevolent. He was a real communist. He wanted to help the people. Yet he quickly realized once he obtained power that he did not have the support of the majority of the country. He pleaded and appealed to them, he tried to “educate” them on what was needed to achieve communism, mainly just time and their trust. Yet even his first election if he were to have one, he would lose, because already he had become associated with the status quo. The mainstream oppressors of the common people. So he became a tyrant, as all dictators do. Communism gets traded for national socialism and fascism with red paint by the time Lenin is dead. All in an effort to just keep power for a little bit so he could see his communist vision come true. Unfortunately as soon as the bosliviks started to oppress the people they lost the little bit of credibility they had. Just another tyrant, another right wing power obsessed state.


  • Most learn at home. Firing a firearm accurately does require some practice and skill. Shotguns are the easiest, pistols are by far the hardest. In an enclosed space though it isn’t that hard to hit a human sized target. Most people who shoot guns probably know how they work. They aren’t all that complicated. Usually just safety, a mekanism to cock it, a trigger, and a magazine release. It doesn’t take that much training to learn how to shoot something a few feet away from you. It does take a bit to hit targets further away than say 25 feet. This is often why cops end up smoking gangsters. Many gangsters don’t practice with their firearms and cops do, so in a ranged fight, cops usually win.

    Hitting a moving target is difficult. Most people don’t realize how easy it is to actually take down an armed person who isn’t skilled and practices things like the 30 ft rule which most cops will practice. (If you get within 30 ft, they will assume you can disarm them before they can land their first shot) Aiming usually takes a few seconds if you want to land your hits, even with a stationary target 25ft away. Some people practice a lot and john wick it, but real shooting is more like an entire body composure, carefully leveling the sights, squeezing, not pulling the trigger (rookie mistake) because if you pull the trigger to fast you will miss unless someone is very close to you.

    I’m just a regular nonbinary person, I learned to shoot skeets out of the air before I hit puberty. I can throw up a soda can and shoot it with a shotgun which is a fairly skilled thing to do. I practiced a lot for years, and hunted a lot. (Not into hunting these days because I’m a different person, and love animals) I might if I were hungry enough. I’m better than most people at shooting.



  • You would have to get a grinder and basically grind them out and refill them and paint over them. It’s pretty hard to get rid of it because it’s oxidation so it’s creating a new chemical compound with the material that the good is made of. I’d probably just get a sander, sand it down to where most of its gone without putting a depression in it, and then paint over it with two or three coats of paint. Then wait a year, sand it back down and paint over it again if it starts to flake, but if you sand it down well you probably won’t have to worry about it again. Not a huge deal, having rust on the frame can be bad though.


  • Local is not terrible. They do a decent job. We have decent schools and decent roads. The county police aren’t super terrible. Property taxes aren’t insane like they are in most of the country. State a bit worse. They seem pretty corrupt. They levied a gas tax on us so they could hire tons of new state troopers, something the majority of people in my state do not want, and absolutely were not okay with, because we are already very poor, both the gas tax and the state troopers writing tickets. I think most people in my state see this as pure greed from the nanny state people and a scheme to extort money from the poor. Our state also completely sells us out to the evil federal government constantly unless it’s state rights to own slaves or ruin trans people something. The national government. I hate it honestly, I hate both the Republican and Democratic party. I like the Democrats more but they are both extremely corrupt and they always pass laws that screw the people and they ruin our currency and let criminal corporations get away with just about anything. They also spy on us and our children.


  • The number who will be accepting of it is probably like 15% or so. This is the amount of women who identify as bisexual, which probably is about the same as women who view feminine men as attractive. It really depends. If you are feminine but still masculine in ways, you might actually have the majority of women liking you. I am a very andro guy for example when I guy mode and also fairly attractive and nearly half of women I meet show some interest in me although usually not knowing that Im actually trans. If you are decent looking and take care of yourself. Eat well, wear sunscreen outside, things like this. However when you are doing it in a very open sort of way, half of women just won’t have attraction and probably 2/3rds of the ones who do will be too afraid of the social ramifications to actually admit they like you and pursue it. You can also be andro without being very girly. A guy wearing a skirt is kind of weird. You are better off actually growing your hair out and leaning more into one side of the other. Either be a pretty guy, or a pretty girl. You can do both on different days. You can mix them in ways but you have to have a good eye for it. Things like skinny jeans, nice cut shirts, long hair, shaving your body, jewelry, women shoes, these types of things can fit well into a more masculine style. If you are wearing a skirt though you should probably be looking more like a girl then a guy in your face and stuff. At that point you probably want to dress mostly fem and maybe incorporate some guy style into your style if youd like. Tshirts, beanies, hoodies, skate shoes whatever.

    Regardless that is still tens of millions of people, your chances aren’t impossible. Women don’t care about this stuff nearly as much as guys do. They don’t feel as awkward about it. Most women who have a strong distaste of it are probably on the dumber side anyways. They will make bad partners. They are also probably gold diggers and stuff. Those traits tend to run together. Also as we move into the future it’s only going to become more common because humans are naturally fairly bi and gender fluid by nature outside of the conditioning and gender ideology pushed by some people. Feminine men are honestly just superior in nearly every way to modern male styles and it will keep coming back. Men dressing the way they do is a very modern concept. Outside of the Middle East and Arab cultures men didn’t even like having beards or anything. It used to be a sign of laziness and trashiness. Men nowadays are pretty insecure about their masculinity. They drive around in rich people trucks and live lifestyles of extreme wealth, and play video games and work in offices, and stuff and so they project their own insecurities onto other men. Most men who are actually manly men don’t give af about someone being gender fluid or anything. It’s really the spoiled ones who are like that. Women mostly don’t like it because of physical attraction, and because many women idolize the idea of being a housewife and marrying a rich man who will take care of them and stuff. I know none of this has anything to do a guy dressing fem, but many people are really dumb and they think those things are linked. They never really consider that a man who is fem is incredibly brave and value and principles driven. They are very likely to be someone who actually takes care of someone. To be a good husband. There is also just that so many people, especially women fear that a man being fem is going to doom him to poverty, and women tend to weigh things like earning potential strongly in mate selection.




  • The reality is, people will treat you so much worse as a trans person. They will just straight up ignore you and pretend like you dont exist. I feel like people are getting dumber by the year. Im not sure why you would believe something like this. I feel like anyone from the 90s or early 2000s would have just understood this easily. People do not listen to cis womens feelings either. The world doesnt care about anyones feelings and feelings are usually a way that people try to get you to feel sorry for them. In fact, i almost know this is the case when it comes to someone like you. The reason is simply because you are too dull to realize that people are not nice to trans people outside of their own social circle, and even then we are often quite shitty to each other. Real feelings are spontanous. Something that happens after a break up or when you lose a job or a friend. Having feelings all the time to me just seems like you want people to take care of you and drag you through life. You want attention. It probably means you refuse to examine yourself and figure out what is actually wrong with you. People only care about your feelings when its valid, not when you are being a piece of shit. Nobody is going to force a girl to date you for example. Nobody is going to feed you. Nobody is going to make you remember to buy your mother or friends a present for their birthday. These are things you have to do. You have to work on your looks, find a job, quit bad habbits, respect people. You cant get mad at someone because they dont want to be your friend, you can’t be mad at a girl because she doesn’t like you. These are not valid feelings. These are you being a manchild. Even if people wanted to baby you through life people cannot afford to do this nor have the time, and when you understand this you will realize that you are being completly unreasonable. Stop complaining and take control of your life. Hate yourself sometimes. Cry sometimes by yourself. Think about a future you would actually like to have and work on it a little when you can.





  • Some people just arent cut out for certain jobs. There is no good reason to ever flip that truck that way. Where i work at the only thing that will really get you fired on the spot is doing something really dumb like this, or putting someone else in an unsafe position. Also a few hundred grand is the low end. If the driver is really dumb and xoesnt cut the engine off as soon as he gets done rolling, he will ruin the entire engine which will cost close to a million just for the engine alone.



  • Flipping it back over will be extreamly difficult, probably will require several excavators. Then they will have to inspect the engine, to see if its damaged. If it needs parts, it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair. The truck may need parts or welding as well. They will likely fire the driver who flipped it and replace him with someone. You can learn fairly quick.



  • Its because of two things. One is that people hog the passing lane or try to pass slowly so it takes them a few minutes to overtake a few cars, and also because people drive at different speeds. Some people drive at the speed that feels comfortable, others drive the state imposed speed limit. This creates pockets of dense traffic, and then people try to pass, but there is always the person who tries to pass as slow as possible because they are going a few mph over the speed limit.

    Its really just a bad combination of laws, and drivers who are terrified of breaking the law, and people who dont know how to drive correctly in a way to reduce traffic. Also many people are just never consider that others also need to use the roads. They don’t care about traffic. Some people also have health issues, like blindness, or mental handicaps, which means driving at interstate speeds is about all they can muster.


  • Downlaod managers can work with most downloads. If a site is really badly coded it still wont work. Bittorrent is good for this. I recomend qbittorrent on linux/windows, or flud on android.

    With bittorrent you want to configure your settings. Set you max upload to half of what your connections upload speed is, or lower, you might have to experiment with this to see what your router and connection can handle. Activate “exit on finish” limit your max connections to 50-100 if you dont have a router with a strong CPU. Enable “require encryption” or use encryption and dont allow non encrypted connections. (Keeps your isp from throttling and helps keep you safer) Disable automatic start when you device boots up (very important)

    Then you are all set. Just remember to make sure you dont run it all the time, bittorrent is hard on your router, not that it will mess it up but it will load up the CPU, honestly not much worse then windows built in spyware these days, and try to place the files where you actually want them when creating a download, so that you can reupload to the world. If you move the files after downloading them, then the client cant reupload to other users. You could even consider setting your max upload slots to something reasonable like 24 with a max upload rate of 200 KB/s, and let it run all the time. Be careful when hosting copyrighted content unless you have a VPN always active. You really should these days, they are cheap. I think i payed $80 for a year of proton VPN, a swiss company that isnt as beholden to the giant global intelligence network. You should also support artists so dont pirate unless you dont have a good option for getting your content. Pirated content also has a risk of containing malware and getting you sued.

    As someone who lives in the U.S and is always on the road for work, i constantly have to deal with terrible and 3rd world internet infastructure. I am very familiar. Half of my state has about a 40% packet loss rate or something. Idk. Its bad. It drops out completly multiple times per day, cell towers, ISPs, credit card machines, etc. Sometimes you might just need to download from a better connection in another part of your state or something.

    I dont have any recomendations for a download manager for PC, but for android ADM, advanced download manager seems to work well. On PC i usually just use torrents. Using a VPN in exclusivly TCP mode can also help, UDP is a lower latency lossy connection, TCP will resend packets until all of them get through. Using a vpn with TCP can help if you have a crappy connection. It wont help much if you are getting multi second drop outs. For that you really need bittorrent, or a download manager. If the zite doesnt work with download managers, and you cant get a torrent, you can try to find a mirror of the download somewhere else. Tey searching for the file name in quotes, like “filename.zip” and then use -website name to remove results from spammy sites. A search might be like, ( “filename.zip” -website1.com -website2.com )
