They knew I have different skills on electronics and hacking. I'm sure they looked for mics and cameras literally everywhere. Once I took care of a stalker that called my wife by hacking a political reporter's email and planting his phone number, so I didn't waste time with the police. Telling stories doesn't help, it's better to hide certain skills.
"It's better to hide certain skills."
This perspective hadn't occurred to me, and it's likely a more pragmatic approach than my own, which is to sing my interests from the rooftops and scribble them in chalk, hoping to find other like-minded individuals. A paradoxical approach, driven by the harsh effects of loneliness on well-being, one that might need reconsideration.
