    Lmao. This is too real. Was talking with an older colleague who was doing her phd in physics, and working at honeywell on a project she learned was helping develop targeting for cluster bombs. So she quit that and got into studying sediment transport. Insidious is such an understatement for the military industrial complex.

      Do you know what that looks like in practice? Like is it actually subtle or is it actually like the “please engineer something that can shoot a rocket with medical supplies directly at lost hikers who have gone raving mad from isolation and try to hide from it”?
