     @nik fed includes a lot of things, i am okay with some of it (defense platforms, VA stuff, outward facing, blah blah) and not others (domestic surveillance, etc). yes i know things aren't clear cut and i might not know exactly how things are being used but as long as those remain the rules and not the exceptions and I have some agency in what I work on, I can follow my rules best I can blah blah. It's much better than changing button colors on the next uber blockchain for drone-delivered temu products or whatever

     @nik something offensive that protects america and america's allies' interests is much better than working for like mckinsey or bain advising eli lilly how to get more americans addicted to opiates or whatever the fuck they basically embezzle for bullshit
