I agree, he's likely done everything he could to make sure people don't figure out a way to get rid of him. I'm definitely not saying he was a passive participant in the phenomenon. He's been there for a long time now. I'm just saying he's more of a symptom of the greater cause that is the sick fucking thing called russian culture. Getting rid of putin alone won't fix things any more than getting rid of trump in the US will there.

Main problem isn't putin. Problem is russian culture. Putin is just the latest turd to float to the top.

Unfortunately, he committed suicide before finishing the post.

I don't know if you've been through something that makes you on edge, in which case I'd talk to a professional. But otherwise I'd start here: establish a baseline for each environment you find yourself in. That just means figuring out what's normal and what's not in any given scenario. That requires awareness and observation. If you're talking about possibly dangerous people, you need to read body language, verbal and nonverbal cues. If it's dangerous environments, talk to people who are regularly there. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot of information out there about figuring out how to know if a situation is dangerous to you or not. But mainly, listen to your intuition. If something feels off, take action (usually get out of there, if you can).

I've replaced the HDD with an SSD a few years ago. It's very easy. Just make sure you backup your savegames and settings first.
