A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

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.
Realistically though china stole everything they needed years ago. The J-35 is an absolute pisstake ripoff.
I mean, they weren't exactly subtle about it

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
Russia lost it supply of honeypot waifus 30 years ago, I'm afraid
They ended up on a certain island
nah it’s real and multiple idiot americans have been charged over it
us contractors in china, russia and in the states

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 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.
That's how you solicit leaks on War Thunder.
Nah, you just have to make random nerfs to the equipment you're interested in and claim it's to maintain realism.

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 don’t works in the industry myself but have some insight. ‘Performed as designed’ is a key phrase. The customer, typically the US government, presents a use case and a solution is designed to meet their specs.
It’s oddly mundane and a lot of well engineered shit never gets used.
Cold blooded.
Mass tragedies just means more future customers, for when they want to atrocity back.
Buy her some flowers while on a date. If she carries them stems pointing up, then boy, you're about to make hella rubles
I don't get it.
There was a famous case of a Soviet spy who got caught by the FBI because of the way he carried his flowers.
In the US, if someone buys flowers, then while walking with them, the person normally carries them with the flowers up, stems down. The 'normal' way.
In Russia, to protect the flower tops from rain, snow, cold, and wind, the average person carries the bunch of flowers with the stems facing up/forward, flowers pointing down/back.
This spy bought flowers for some reason, and an FBI agent noticed he carried them the Russian way.
If you ever get a chance to read any of Joe Navarro's books, he's a very good writer. I highly recommend "3 Minutes to Midnight"
TIL I may be a Russian spy
TIL I'm Russian.
You carry them upside down because flowers are heavy and catch wind. If you let them dangle, they'll sway instead of snap.
I thought one carries flowers upside down so the water in the stems stays with the flowers instead of dripping out. It keeps them from drying out

That actually makes good sense. Especially if you're dealing with the same climate. Next time I buy flowers I'm cosplaying a bit.

She's angling to be my handler while I'm just angling to handle her.
I believe that is how honeypots work, yes.
Provide false and misleading information, enjoy some honey, profit.
Presumably they know enough about the topic to be able to tell when you're talking BS and then they'll realize you're not a useful information source, and leave.

Her favorite word is "passport."
russia isn’t bothering with dod when they can just get it from the top
ai scientists is where it’s at now
"I work on vendor lock-in, Congressional district contractor allocation, and remote killswitches"
They arm NASA don't they? Do you know any cosmonauts?
If anything she would angle for a straight simple relationship. Get his trust and and have a lot of texting emailing going on. Then send him an email at work with a back door. Hopefully a funny one or interesting one so he shares it.
Then she/they have access to the computer network and data base. If they were smart the target would be in either IT or management so they have more access rights.

I will after we do things… then just tell her how I fold paper after sex
Start ranting about sprints and how you took 25 story points last sprint and STEVE THAT LAZY BITCH only took 18, but you think on top of it the tshirt sizing of your features was too optimistic, and make her fucking dread the agile.
But key thing is to lead her on a little bit here and there, like if she asks what you work on, just say "oh can't talk much about it, kinda nuclear related", so she never gets pulled off your case. And promise to tell her the intimate details and tell her one day you can send her the source code you're helping integrate.
Then send her bootstrap.css and go into way too much detail about how how you're aligning buttons for the top secret application
Is this honey potting the honey pot?
Imagine that: you're a nation and know the enemy wants to steal your secrets by seducing your people. The best way to avoid it is to have them waste as much time as possible on fake targets. So you hire a bunch of lonely nerds who work in totally mundane fields and give them a crash course in looking like they do top secret stuff.
I'd watch that movie.
I’m ready to sacrifice myself for the nation.
While this is funny, the entire honeypot issue can be avoided if the state sanctioned 1 girlfriend for every guy.
Not so sure about that
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.
Plus, a good chunk of men would cheat with a young, attractive woman paying them attention.
