    Okay but like, being a honeypot girl must be really hard because you kinda have to care about a topic to retain information about it. My husband started working with military ships or something like that and whenever he tells me ship facts (that are publicly available, he always cross-references Wikipedia) my eyes just fucking glaze over and I zone out because I have no interest in anything ship-related.

    So Lockheed Martin girl must have a special interest in airplanes. It must be so hard to fight the autistic urge to correct a guy who gets his airplane facts wrong.

      She don’t have to. Record it via hidden mic, and it’s just an art of asking correctly. Like “Oh I remember something about F35. My professor told <obviously incorrect info> and that’s why it’s worse than…”

      Obviously you need to know the subject a bit but mainly you need to know the cognitive tricks.
