they freaked out about fucking BARCODES YO
How did they miss this one!?
That also has a heavy dose of untreated mental illness to consider too.
I know a few very religious engineers, its weird. One of them cried on the phone with his mom when gay marriage was legalized.
Outside of that, he’s an amazing engineer and a ton of fun to bullshit with about random topics but he’s essentially pro any government program and thinks PRISM was good. So i just keep it surface level.
oh yeah, that guy that made Temple OS was on another plane of reality. Dude probably needed some care and attention.
engineers can be a really mixed bag for whatever reason. perhaps the relative pragmatism of how it’s taught and the general employability of the profession. probably the chuddiest STEM field. lot of like catholic and mormon energy in engineering.
In practice I’ve met a lot more Bernie esque dem-socs than chuds. The chuds are usually unbearable in their specificity of chud opinions. IE only drinking Pepsi because Coke stopped selling in Israel to keep the business of the rest of the middle east.
The really annoying libertarian types are clowned on by other engineers in my experience too. But generally the pragmatism is shown in the dem-soc way. They understand universal healthcare and bodily autonomy are logical steps to improve society but they can’t think past pragmatic voting.
vaguely dem soc engineers boycotting coke because they murdered union leaders :solidarity: chud engineers mad about coke not selling to Israel
no ethical consumption under capitalism means do whatever you feel like :solidarity: that’s ok I’ll still keep drinking that garbage
Oh yeah so much so that too. I’m friends with a guy that’s very much a dem soc type, but also literally works at a naval research lab.
