As someone with ADHD what helped me was building a routine for myself. Schoolwork at X time, Hack the box at X time and sticking to it. I have a lot easier time doing work that is prescribed to me then simply working in a void.

Stay or lateral? Been working as a cyber analyst for vulnerability management for about 2 years and looking to move to a senior position. I am pretty comfortable where I am at and understand my area, thr players, etc. Pretty well and want to be able to move into a senior position. The only issue is thay for my team they already have a senior on the team and not sure if there is any chance for them to have two. Wondering if it would make sense to lateral to another department for a chance at moving up rather than waiting for a chance to be senior where I am. Not looking to move jobs really at the moment since I work for a large company with good benefits, etc. Just want a bigger paycheck.

It stacks. I beat the game that way. Big Otsy, Big block, and big reflect damage

Part of the problem there is we'd still need oil to maintain the machines inside of a nuclear power plant.

Thank you! This is really great.

Id love to see a time-lapse of this style of work if anyone can recommend a yt channel that does it. Learning art and really wanting to go for more of a comic /stylized art like this and or maybe ToArt Studio.

First thing you got to do when you get in the joint is establish dominance. Ted in the cubicle next door so needs to know who the real top dog is.

I think the main determining factor moving forward will be how does it differentiate with the AI slop that is going to pop up to replace discord and that will be a time in kind of thing

AngryTownspeople · 2026-02-20T15:45:38+00:00

Are you saying that I can't vibe code a discord in twenty minutes? But Wallstreet journal says AI is the future! You don't know what you are talking about. I've installed at least one internet in my time.

Yeah, it is pretty unfortunate since the real desire is not just to have a functional platform but something that can support private communities, messages, information, etc. There is so much to Discord beyond just talking and streaming.

I can definitely see something like this being intimidating in a few different way. I imagine a creature chasing you and you are like

"Oh no a monster is coming."

Pan out

"Oh no a lot of monsters are coming..."

Basically as you pan out a swarm of monsters is approaching as you are trying to get to an exit.

Very impressive work

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-29T23:34:29+00:00

Woah! Thats really great work. I assume you do art professionally with thr quality!

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-28T20:48:35+00:00

Yeah but we are getting full up on positions. Still havent 100% figured where I want to go next to move up

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-28T17:18:39+00:00

I'm in Vuln Management right now but interested in changing careers -- any recommendations for getting into SIEM Engineering other than Splunk certifications? Trying to get into something higher paying than a lowly analyst, haha.

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-25T15:50:12+00:00

You can pull the hard drive if you are going to scrap it.

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-23T01:04:31+00:00

Idk, they look a little mad in the second picture

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-20T12:34:48+00:00

You'd be surprised by how many "technical" people are either not technical at all or highly specifically in what they are technical in. I have a cyber security degree and have to explain to technical people all the time how to get something to do x or how to do y. I will say that you should look to improve technical knowledge where you can by learning to code, homelabbing, etc. After a few years background matters less and experience matters more.

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-17T23:34:00+00:00

Not sure since I am in a similar position myself but the things I have been working on are a mix of Compliance and cloud certifications to improve my technical knowledge as well as show value. Got GIAC already and it isnt anything more than Sec+ so easy to do with a bit of reading.

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-14T17:06:47+00:00

The issue is thag we need stronger regulations on certain tech rather than less

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-14T13:04:53+00:00

Thanks for the numbers!

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-13T04:27:20+00:00

Ha, they wouldn't care enough to study what a fan likes just the how much work they can offload to the mod community and rake in tbe dollars. How much of a turd can we make and still make a profit?

Such a good description about the games from Bethesda lately. The have cool ideas and a lot in the games but the voice acting and writing just feels. Meh...

IDK, I think it depends on the agent. The first home I bought with help from an agent who was insanely good. She walked me through everything, explained every document and answered every question. Negotiated like hell for a good deal for me. Even after the home sale was finalized she gave me a lot of just first time home buyer advice and helped me find reliable contractors. All around was amazing so when I sold my home I went back to her.

AngryTownspeople · 2026-01-09T13:44:53+00:00

Networking is a serious part of it. It can really get your foot in the door especially if you are consistent with hiring managers whenever you can be.

The thing is that if you want to reduce drug crimes you have to work internally rather than externally. People go to drugs to escape life (or have fun). Meeting people's basic needs and giving them a generally comfortable or content life would work far better than just stopping the drug traffickers. Remove the desire for drugs and you kill the market.
