          Not a techie, but went to class and roomed with techies. All of the exposure, none of the perks agony-shivering

              The scary part is the handful of computer touchers I maintained contact with after they got whisked away into surveillance or even military-industrial empires present themselves as superficially happy about their work. Not just on LinkedIn; they sort of present themselves like a LinkedIn account. bootlicker

              For those reading that don't know what that is like, just imagine a typical HackerNews community circlejerk but lived and spoken. agony-4horsemen

                  It's especially fucked how they buy into the "cool hacker rebel with a hoodie" aesthetic like a fucking youtube music compilation and make six figures and wear lanyards while making society a little more oppressive.

                  Without confirmed exception the ones I know are all "GALACTIC EMPIRE DID NOTHING WRONG" contrarians that also enthusiastically talked about their "zombie apocalypse survival plans" hypersus
