As I said in another comment. my special skill is preparation and planning.
I have millions of books on subjects ranging from social economics to medical texts. these are stored on my personal servers.
I have hand picked the most essential and placed them on SD cards in case power is hard to come by. I have two e-ink readers that can be used to read the cards.
I also have physical books of immediate needs like FM 21-76. Some medical texts as well as pharmaceutical. I also have textbooks from school so that my kids can continue their education.
I have an insane amount of movies and television. ranging from adult to kid content. I have collected a wide ranging spank bank(6tb!). When shit gets rough, people will give up anything to feel "happy normal" again.
I'm currently in the process teaching myself how to train AI models on content(more of a hobby). I'd like to train some models on the books I have and base them on specific topics like medical, construction, etc...
That's a fair point too. I grew up very poor. I learned to be resourceful and make due with what you have early on in life. If I can't source what I need it's likely I can make it.
I can farm, I can perform minor surgery/field medic, I can build buildings, I can weld, I can shoot/hunt. if there's something I can't do, it's likely in one of the books I have so that I can at least learn how to try.
always lived my life with the constant threat of all my things being taken away from me. It made me accept early on that the only thing that can't be stolen from me is my knowledge, so in essence I am my best asset for survival.
You sound somewhat useful to whatever gang controls your local area.
Most likely they'll take the stuff from them. Their abilities might save them, but sometimes those with skills are seen as a threat.
growing up in an abusive household trained me for that.
make yourself small. make yourself not a threat. make them think you're easy to control.
I think that's the goal from the beginning. Stay off the radar. Live small, just survive.
GreenKnight23, we need to cook
I'll gladly join a gang. I'll be running it in a year 😆
