    When arms manufacturers hear that their weapons were used in mass tragedies are they proud their weapons performed well? Do they wish their products would fail more? Or is it all just business?

      Living in an area where a lot of these company’s exist and develop this shit, many of them are proud of the way they perform.

    I swear this whole “defence engineers get honeypotted” thing is just a recruiting ploy. I have been cheated out of my rightful duplicitous russian waifu

    While this is funny, the entire honeypot issue can be avoided if the state sanctioned 1 girlfriend for every guy.

        No trust me bro, the government deciding on romantic partners and matches is totally not something ripped straight from a mid-tier dystopian novel.

          Actually ripped from the German playbook circa 1940.

          The SS were given a state sanctioned wife for the purpose of producing as many “Aryan” children as possible.

    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.

      First, we need the F35 on the game, then we need russian players paying the devs to nerf it until any il-2 can take down the F35, which will prompt an enraged player to leak classified info on the plane just to prove his point about a minimal stat change.

        I’m actually like 60% sure the reason War Thunder doesn’t have an F-35 in the game is to prevent leaks.
