My pro-Trump family found out that I voted for Harris and now my brother is openly threatening to kill me. How do I get out ASAP?
    1. Find the best person in your contacts whom you can trust and explain everything to him/her. Discuss about where you'll stay, how many others friends are there, how many people live in house (more is better). And it would be great if someone who stays with you has firearms.
    2. Call him/her to pick you from your house and tell him/her to bring cops too.
    3. Once they reach. Pack all important stuff like certificates, clothes, gadgets, etc.

    I just hope that you were just high while writing this but if not then you gotta fight for your life and freedom.

  • How do you battle depression by your own?
  • Distract yourself into some offline activity which you love especially with someone you are comfortable with.

    Once mind in place, deal with the problem which lead to depression in the first place. But if nothing can be done about the issue, then stop worrying about it. Work around it.

    I make it look easy but I know its not.

  • Always keep stock of water in an extra overhead tank or atleast an extra lid bucket bathrooms for emergency when tap water ran out. Just make sure to change water every two weeks to prevent bug parties in it.

    If you don't have kettle then have a lot of water bottles especially that can store warm drinking water for long time, to never run short of warm drinking water in winter.

  • How long I should rest after sex before indulging in intense workouts?

    Google said anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours, but for me 24 hours or even more is a must.

    I tend to eat and sleep more and even take 1 day leave from work.

    I was wondering whether it's normal to rest this much or I'm just lazy. It's not that I cannot push my body to work immediately after sex but I prefer not to force myself.

    Hope it's all normal.

    What's your PP care routine?

    I just rinse it with water then with diluted dettol. And let it air dry after wash. Twice a day (morning & evening).

    I was wondering whether I should apply any moisturizer after wash or not.

    Is it normal to feel stretch in hovering leg when doing pistol squat?

    When doing pistol squat I feel strong stretch in the leg which is hovering. Is this normal for a beginner? It feels like I'm working more with my hovering leg than the one which is actually pushing.

    The ultimate flaw of freedom of religion

    Did some chit chat with ChatGPT on religion.

    Came on the conclusion that freedom of religion grants the right to follow whatever belief they want as long as it's not causing significant damage to society and it doesn't undermine other fundamental rights. Which gives room for religions to flourish which do not do any immediate harm but as more people join in it start putting burden on society's resources without returning any real value.

    Just started learning the F barre chord. How was your F barre chord journey?

    Hi, I'm a beginner who just started learning the F barre chord.

    I can't get string 1 and 2 to ring clearly without applying insane force. Hmm I guess I have to just keep practicing until I can make it ring clearly without much effort.

    How was your F barre chord journey? I'm sure experienced players here can enlighten my path.

    Is it a bad practice to not tune your guitar as long as it sounds decent?

    Hi, I'm a beginner learning guitar. I noticed that after a month or so my guitar doesn't sound the same but it's not too bad. And I am hesitant to tune my guitar frequently because I'm afraid that some strings might snap.

    Is it fine to not tune guitar until it sounds garbage (unrecognizable)?

    This is not playable right?

    There is no way I could play this. I guess I'll have to find alternatives or somehow get light speed reflexes.

    Edit: Thanks for help. I found a playable tab for the song I am learning.

    what to do when there's no atheist in your locality.

    Feeling pretty lonely as I couldn't find atheist people near me.

    My country is full of religious people and people who follow religions just to have company and benefits which religious organizations provide. I hate these fake religious people even more because they simply take the side from where they'll get maximum benefits. There are no real atheist in my country who'll openly declare themselves as atheists.

    And as per demographics of my country, having (or faking) religion is beneficial. But I hate doing either.

    So how and where to find real atheist locally?

    Where should I look (fret board / picking hand) when playing single notes on guitar?

    Hi, I'm new to playing guitar. I was practicing single notes of song (All we know, intro) and it is surprisingly difficult to pick right string at right time without looking at my picking hand.

    So should I learn to press right notes blindly or picking blindly as I can't look at both simultaneously.

    Strumming feels much easier as I only have to look at fretboard. I tried muting strings which I'm not playing but it sounds bad.
