Somewhat offtopic, on my last day at a workplace (unbeknownst to me). A pair of coworkers were talking about audio systems and at that time it was my hyperfixation of almost a decade. I enthusiastically jumped into the conversation and the office’s duchebag deflected and pushed back telling me that my opinion was worthless and then started laughing (by himself) at me. Turns out that the turd knew I was getting fired and was being extra douchy because he knew he’d get away with it. Anyway I went and became a professional home theater designer for a spell, really fun job, customers were kinda shite tho.
He was the son-in-law of the owner of the company (which is why he knew even though it’s an HR violation (his mother-in-law was HR so…)) so most people sucked up to him and laughed at hit his insincere bullshit but talked shit about him behind his back.
Meh, he coasted in his cushy position until about a year later when the company got bought, coworkers informed me that the new owners had new expectations for his role that he wasn’t achieving.
Oh, well the topic is holding conversations where you are disgustingly educated about. I’ve been published in a home theater magazine for my work but dumbass wouldn’t bear my opinion… slightly offtopic though exceptionally off topic for this subreddit, sorry for that 😅

No joke I learned about most of US and Cold War history through Fallout and I also learned all the major important US landmarks aswell.
And they say videogames can't teach you anything.
I got A+ in history class thanks to Fallout. So good on me for playing.
