>>1363946Yeah, I know that feel. I either just say "Oh yeah, totally, I was into Scouting all through elementary school" to make them feel comfortable. Or I spin a wild story about how my uncle was Delta Force, deployed in black ops missions against the Sangre Tercera cartel in Central America in the late 80's, and how he taught me everything I know about wilderness survival, escape and evasion, man-trapping, and shooting. Depending on how many fucks I give vs. how much petty amusement I can derive at the moment.
It's amazing how much bullshit you can convince people of if you keep a straight face and use the right tone of voice. There's like seven people walking the earth right now who believe I can legit read tarot cards. I can't. I can just use the Forer effect and cold reading to fuck with stupid people. People are idiots.
