I have tried to out-crazy them, but crazy has gone beyond my ability in the last few years.

Each tribe was/is an independent nation, with their own ideals, beliefs, social structures, etc.. There's a reason why I said "most" and not "all".

I'm assuming by "we" you mean the US Government. Is that right?

I thought the kite guy was chained to the wall at first, and was quite confused.

I haven't opened any Christmas presents yet. We're having a late Christmas due to crazy schedules for everyone involved.

Nah, he threw it on the ground. DUH!

It's a good thing I'm dexterous, and somehow dodged the fireball from within the fireball.

Most tribes didn't have a concept of land ownership, so they wouldn't say "that we own".

The best place to start is talking to people you know and checking if they have the in with any good jobs. Then if that doesn't work, apply directly for jobs you find by checking with individual companies, ideally speaking with the hiring manager first. Jobs listed on job boards are really difficult to get. You're up against everyone, and they have filters that accidentally discard a lot of qualified candidates.

You can pick. I haven't seen a single modern system without a sound mode option.

Have you never enjoyed a movie at the movie theater? They use top-tier surround sound systems and it's amazing! You can recreate a lot of that at home with a 5.1 surround sound system. The more channels you add, the more immersive the experience. Like in the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, the sounds are coming from all around. You can feel the bass from the boats churning below you, hear the bullets go whizzing past you and hit the boats & people behind you, hear the guns firing in front of you and people screaming to advance. It completely changes the viewing experience. Idk why you wouldn't want that if you're into movies. But you can't really re-create that with a sound bar. Sure, it's usually better than the TV speakers, but it's not true surround sound.

I don't want to change anyone's mind anymore. I'm so tired of trying. I just want them to STFU and believe their wacko shit in private like the good old days.

Okay

You broke your oath with the last sentence.

I have a dozen different hobbies, but I was really into flashlights for a while too. I was into them enough that my wife asked me to stop buying more flashlights and lanterns. I didn't stop though! I only stopped when I finally decided I had scratched that itch, have obtained what I want, and was bored. But now I have great flashlights in both of our cars, in my mom's car, one at each exterior door of the house, one at the garage door, and a few lanterns in the closet. She very much appreciates the fruits of my labors now that I'm finished.

Most apartments use Kwikset locks, which are cheap and ineffective. Picking one of those was easier than picking the practice lock from my kit. I could get my front door open in 30 seconds flat with a single pin pick, or like 2 seconds with a city rake.

I had to cut it out of my life in 2020. I was so stressed out that my memory was bad, I wasn't eating, and I was sleeping like four hours max per night. I have seen no reason to add it back. If something important happens, it makes its way into everything, so I find out. I don't need to know every little stupid thing some stupid person says on Twitter 50 times a day, or every time some politician makes some terrible decision that hurts Americans. Neither of those things are news, they're business as usual, but they're treated as breaking news by people and news organizations. I'm much happier under my rock.

I watch this and Blazing Saddles every few years. It's about time for me to watch both of them again.

I don't think you need the "what if" parts

Since when do you need to be sober for IT work? I figured you are a doctor or something.
