No. You have to go into the water first to learn how to relax and float. Then you can learn a good technique.

In the immortal words of Mike Tyson, "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."
No matter how much you study, landing in the water will change everything.

The Stonewall Riots occurred in 1969. Star Trek's controversial interracial kiss was a big scandal a few years before. The movie "The Legend of Nxxxxr Charlie" was shown and advertised all over the country. The movie "Midnight Cowboy" got an X-rating with zero nudity and one off screen man on man blowjob.
Sorry, I think you've got it backwards.

otoh, people in both eras used gas powered cars, telephones, telegraphs, and manual typewriters. They could both go to movies, ride trains, and take ocean voyages.
A person from 1903 would need a few days to adapt themselves to 1969 technology.
But someone from 1969 coming into 2025 would be lost. Most people in 1969 didn't use credit cards, and had never seen an ATM. They used rotary phones and antenna TV.

And you'll get to meet some people who enjoy what you like! Win/win!

I like how he calls out the people who will do nothing because 'cops and Nazis are the same thing.'
How many of these idiots have child support warrants out on them? Any hostile interaction between cops and Nazis is a win.

Check with the local parks department. There are nature hikes that teach people about the local biology.
- Comment on What is the funniest insult / joke you've come up with on the spot? 6 days ago:
Joke.
My buddy had gotten a job in a posh part of town. He told me that one of the unexpected benefits was that every woman he saw was dressed to impress with perfect hair, makeup, and clothing.
"Joe, you gotta get over this sick fetish you have for women who bathe every day."

Terrible, terrible place.
I was so much happier when I realized that Staples had almost as much tech stuff. Staples staff answers all my dumb questions clearly and never tries to oversell.

Do yourself a favor. Spend Christmas through New Year's in the town you're planning on moving to first.

I take it as a personal affront that there are grown adults who are ignorant of their own cultural heritage.

It doesn't matter, because what I enjoyed might sound terrible to you.
Like I said, two different jobs will have a similar skill set, and the book gives you a long list of all types of jobs. It even breaks them down by how much education you need.

Get this book. "Discover What You Are Best At" by Linda Gail. It's a series of self tests that gauge what skills you already have, and then lists the jobs that use those skills. For example, a hair dresser and a nurse both need good social skills and good dexterity; two totally different jobs with a similar skillset.
I spent my whole life thinking I'd never find a job I actually liked, then I got the book and it led me to a career I enjoyed and got a decent salary.

Remember the time Trump walked onto Air Force 1 with toilet paper stuck to his shoe?
The people who take orders directly from him despise him. The Army has plenty of crack units that could put on a great display; the folks in charge put on the weakest show they could.
