@First-light holy shit, glad you didn't lose your house, vehicle, or need to be hospitalized.
Hosepipe
Huh. I grew up in and spent most of my life in the Deep South in the US, and I've spent time in the Army meeting people from all over, and I've only ever heard hillbillies (not in the pejorative sense, but the people whose families have been in the Appalachians for centuries) call it that and no one else. Everyone else just says "hose".
Really odd to me to read an Englishman call it that.
Much safer. Good safe tools are so satisfying.
Agreed, but up to a point. A lot of desk jockey, office nerd, safety analysts go overboard and start requiring dumb shit like dual-triggered porta-bands.
You think this UI rocks? It's as basic as it could get
Yes. Basic is good. It's intuitive and easy to navigate.
As for the people who've said it's not good, none of them have ever been able to describe what they find bad and how they would fix it. None.
Let's see if you're the exception!
*reads through your reply again**
Nope! Just "I don't like it".
Again, @redpillschool is open to suggestions. God knows I've made a few, and I was loud and clear when a change was made that I didn't like (thread), and he addressed this by making the OG feed.

It's because most users are lazy and don't want to migrate. You'll hit the same issue if you even get yours going.
posts disappear every 24 hours, so your advice will be heard and seen in the moment and then expires forever,
Strong dislike from me and many others who want to be able to refer to things later.
For my part, one of the many reasons I don't participate at askTRP all that much is because of how repetitive the questions are. Being able to refer to previous posts and discussions that address the same old questions makes it easier.
Having posts and conversations disappear after 24 hours will be a no from me, dawg. Zero interest.
And judging by how I'm the only one replying to you so far, everyone else is even less interested than I am.
I'm TRP to the fucking core
Then why was the advice in your demo screenshot so blue pill?
Buying women drinks is one of the first things PUA taught guys to stop doing even before RP existed, and RP has been echoing that same advice. Don't simp, and that includes buying a woman something just to get her attention.
"Not the one" see my previous reply. Year one Rollo. There is no "One".
Anyway, you're determined to do this, so best of luck to you. Red Pill by its very nature is decentralized, so just like we couldn't stop all the charlatans on YouTube, no one can stop you from doing this.
Good luck.
Read MoreWomen are afraid to divorce men because of guilt? Really? Why then are 80% of divorces started by women? Guilt can't be working too well on women.
Is this like most women being afraid of spiders and mice when men are around but dealing with them fine when men are not around and their children are afraid of them?
@Typo-MAGAshiv I never thought about it. My parents always called it a hose pipe. I will see what my kids call it and what my friends call it.
Yeah I suppose there are some safety features that are unhelpful. I had a hydraulic wood splitter like that. It still lives at a relatives house and is nominally mine but it was too controlling a machine to be worth it. It had a double trigger system so you could not load it with one hand and trigger it with the other in case you decided to place your hand under the very slowly moving ram. In fact they had placed the triggers at the opposite end of the machine from the ram, so you had to step to them after loading it. I understand it became a fairly widely accepted feature after a company was sued by someone who decided to chop fingers off doing something odd.
I am not generally a fan of drill being the safety solution. Design is generally a much better solution. I remember the first time I rolled a mini digger and realised how good the roll cage was. I also remember running to get help to pull one without a roll cage off an old guy and seeing a compound fracture for the first time. However this silly design feature on the splitter just meant that you spent twice as long splitting wood and I really couldn't see why any sane man would be advancing the ram unless he had already loaded the log. I worked out that I could split by hand a lot faster than this machine and never used a machine again.
Then again drill has its place. Chainsaw trousers are a bugbear of mine. They are legally mandated for all professional users where I am from. Never wear them. I have worn out over a dozen well cared for top model professional chainsaws over the years. The most I ever did was nick a boot. They are an expensive way to lose pints of sweat, which might of course lead to bad decision making... For most cases of active long duration chainsaw use by men with a few hundred hours experience I can't see chainsaw trousers being as safe as drill outside of the dead of winter.

I see this video as a sign that the simp mindset women like her exploit is becoming much rarer in recent years, and that is a good thing.
@Typo-MAGAshiv I definitely am no expert but its pretty simple and not as much of a skill as welding. I still get nervous when I solder a joint in a copper water pipe. Am I going to get a leak and ruin the house? None so far but I have heard horror stories of men who have caused huge amounts of damage jointing pipes badly and getting a slow leak they don't notice for months.
Flux is your friend if there is any risk of oxidisation.
You can get coper pipe joints with the solder already in them, which makes it much easier.
On that subject, I bought such a cool new blow torch the other day. Well well worth the investment. Looks a lot safer than the old one. It didn't end well with the old one. One of those stories you recount because its amusing but it is a bit embarrassing. The old one was very old and had overheated in the past. The plastic base that sealed with the gas cylinder was all melted. Seal still looked OK ish. I really should have chucked it. I meant to but I never got round to buying a replacement, so I never threw the original, in case i needed it unexpectedly. A couple of weeks ago, I was heating a pipe to melt air holes in a plastic box for my daughter to transport her ferret in (yeah not an urgent thing, so should have bought the new one first). Suddenly the torch sprang a leak and went up in a fireball of butane gas.
I was stood between the garage where I have about 100 gallons of fuel stored and my truck. My first thought probably should have been "Run and throw this somewhere safe" but was I was wearing gloves and I thought "Turn this thing off and stop the drama" That didn't go well as I fumbled to turn the valve in the gloves. As I felt my arm burn, I threw the thing away from the garage but it wasn't a good throw and it went under the truck in a surprisingly impressive flaring fireball. Happily the truck is armoured underneath for off road use so that bought me a little time. I ran to get the hosepipe. I just wanted to stop the butane cylinder overheating. "Can I help Daddy" "Not now love". Hosepipe worked well fortunately.
The new torch has a trigger. When you stop pulling it the flame dies and it makes a satisfying pop sound. Much safer. Good safe tools are so satisfying.
Read MoreIf you can. That's the laconic answer.
The longer one is its almost impossible to have a deep and meaningful conversation with a woman. At least one that is meaningful to a man that is. Women are usually too interested in the small world that surrounds them and to actually discuss meaningful things. How many philosophers and influential thinkers are women? How many women have discovered something new about the world? Its not in their nature. I have never managed it. Not once in my life.
Occasionally I have met an intelligent woman (of any age, background or sexual orientation) and had an intelligent conversation (maybe a dozen times in my life) and thought "By all the gods that is attractive!" (even when she has been old or relatively plain). Sadly it has never been in a situation where a relationship was appropriate. I would love to have an intelligent woman I could share ideas with and who would actually be glad of it.
The last time I thought I was close to getting to a meaningful conversation with a woman it was an error. We were talking meaningless stuff that mattered to her but she had no substance to her mind. I just wanted to bang her and that was leading my mind on. Soon she was trying to convince me that the earth was actually flat, that the moon landings were fake and to draw elves while on LSD. It particularly amused me once when after sex she told me how her ex would never have a meaningful conversation with her but had good conversations with male friends. I thought "I know why". Her idea of meaningful was hippie bullshit -her hive was hippy chicks. With post nut clarity, I knew I was basically done.
This brings me to the point. You can have a conversation a woman thinks is meaningful but it is not likely to be anything you find meaningful. If you want to use this as a bonding thing with women its fine but I suggest these two rules:
- Keep yourself and your views out of the picture, make it about letting her open up about her ideas and exploring them. Women do not like their worlds to be challenged. A different view is not interesting but threatening to most women.
2.Only have these conversation when she leads into it. Its very rare that anyone had a deep meaningful conversation without wanting it. If you try too hard you run the risk of looking too earnest. A man who is too earnest is usually in a woman's mind a dork trying too hard.
Read MoreThe way she speaks and her mannerisms remind me of my "cool" daughter when she is telling me the teachers need to try harder or she can't be interested. I am telling her she needs to try harder as her education is her job not theirs. Teaching it their job, learning is hers. If she gets in the way of their job, there will be clashes. If she neglects her job, she will lose. But I am told, no its someone else not doing enough to interest her. It is all owed to her.
Come to think of it, its almost the same problem. She is not thinking how to make men want her and worship her, she is thinking about "the trouble with men is they don't try hard enough" Meanwhile, the cool princess is not thinking how to behave to learn stuff and let teachers stop putting her in detention.
The whole way of speaking and the dismissive self important hand movements irritate me. Its so self interested, the dismissve confidence is so unearned ...its so young women today.
