I mean this is certainly something somebody wrote, but the content is a joke.
first off, it's from the 80s, so it might as well be from the 1800s, that's how much it has to do with our everyday lives. second, it's rife and overflowing with prepper-adjacent gas and fantasies. the writer's style is lacking, to be overly generous and the whole thing gives off vibes from the days or alt.* newsgroups. finally, the "advice" in there is laughably naive and sometimes just plain wrong.
so thanks OP, had a few laughs browsing it but this got deleted almost instantly.
Omg stfu the 80s might as well be the 1800? Just use the book if you need. If you can't find any useful tips or something you've never thought about it's probably because you just never think.
In the 80s the cops could just kill anyone they wanted and blame a serial killer. Now they do it on bodycam and nobody cares. Things change.
