    Stupid meme, and as I pointed out the last time it was re-posted, biological weapons labs are absolutely a thing and the science community should be informed enough to know that.

      It’s kind of a valid question to ask as well. I don’t know if I want to date someone that makes bio weapons for a living.

        Absolutely. Especially if you live in an area known for high employment of spooks or weapons manufacturers. If you’re within range of a Lockheed facility, I’d wanna know exactly what kind of aerospace engineer you are.

      I mean, yeah, but I feel like you wouldn’t just tell people you just met you’re working in a bioweapon lab I feel like you’d be under NDAs and stuff

        They didn’t. They said they work at an infectious disease lab. That’s plausibly deniable enough.

        Dudes at Lockheed Martin can probably say ‘I work at Lockheed Martin’ without breaking NDA, but could very likely just say ‘I work at an Aeronautics Engineering Company’ to stay more obscure about it. That second example is at about the same level of detail as the ‘infectious disease lab’.
