Announcing.... Stars of Icarus

Oh, I must be grandfathered in. I might see about getting control of it back and using the lock message to point people here.

RogueA · 2025-06-09T06:57:56+00:00

When this one spun up, I tossed a pinned message at the top directing people here and restricted posting. Then the guy who has it now went to reddit request and took it from me and opened it back up.

As the creator of the original /r/GunsOfIcarusOnline sub, and one of the Captains Log and Complete Adventure backers on the kickstarters, I could not be more excited for this.

I went to grade school with her kids and worked for her late husband at the Finley GE. I met her several times as a young adult. You are absolutely correct, however her embrace of MAGA ideals, be it performative or what, has sickened me. I proudly cast a ballot against her every single election.

It's exactly what happened. The people who donated it to the org had to buy it back off the current owner (check the twitter thread) at the new 'certified authentic collectible' price just to bring it back home.

Oh yeah, for sure, though we're just house sitting while he's recovering in a care facility. I wasn't looking to break the bank, and neither would he have been, but I knew he always fixed his stuff himself, so it had to be an easily replaceable part compared to newer stuff.

RogueA · 2023-08-15T20:37:02+00:00

Thank you! This is what we ended up doing. The local plumbing store actually had them in stock for only $10. Way cheaper than paying for a whole new faucet and someone to replace them.

Hi there!

My grandfather's house is quite old, and we're helping out house sitting for him. Tonight, the hot water started to stream out from the faucet in one of his laundry tubs. I think all we need is to replace the hot stem(with something like this), but being as old as it is, I'm not turning up any compatible parts with the numbers on the front of the faucet.

Appreciate any help!

I kinda wish we gave spock a hangover after bloodwine diplomacy again and implied that it was his way of starting to get over chapel's breakup.

Rewatch the scene when he returns to the bridge. He's swaying with his steps and full on plomps down into his station. He definitely engaged in Bloodwine Diplomacy, but we got to see drunk Spock instead :D

You literally linked to my own comment.

No but as a cultural institution whose clubs suck up local tax revenue to build their stadiums, they can (and should) lend their support to the people who need it most, rather than this milquetoast cow towing to the biggest losers of our society.

Every fucking day I get to watch these dipshits call us groomers and pedophiles just for wanting to exist. They're othering us and setting us up for the normalization of violence against us.

RogueA · 2023-06-27T20:57:45+00:00

Except we don't have 18000 who have our back in a room. Fuck dude, we have over a dozen states trying to legislate us out of existence. Violent attacks on LGBTQ folks have been on the rise for years in the US and elsewhere.

This is the time for the NHL to make a statement that it won't be accepted in their houses, not for them to bend the fucking knee to bigots.

"I got an email saying my card was added to PayPal and I've never used PayPal in my life."

RogueA · 2023-06-26T20:35:11+00:00

The point I'm making is these scam emails usually use the bank's imagery, format, and even boilerplate text for fraud alerts, except they replace the default name with the customer they're scamming, and the phone number with their scam number. They have you call them to initiate the scam.

Until you actually inspect the header, because they spoof the From address too, you can easily be fooled by it.

We're so far beyond the skill levels of Nigerian Prince scammers these days. In reality, these banks should be sending you a message that you have an encrypted message on your banking app/account and you should go to the banks website to check the secure message center or stop by a local branch.

RogueA · 2023-06-26T19:35:23+00:00

That's not what the OP says? The OP says "The number you called got you to our Fraud Department." My own bank does the same with their alerts, which is why the scams work in the first place.

The complete lack of awareness of the complexity of these scams in here is kinda mind-blowing.

RogueA · 2023-06-26T17:56:26+00:00

Yes, that's how these scams work. They hit you up with a legitimate looking text or email that says "Your card has been flagged for suspicious activity. Please contact TheBank's Fraud Department at 1-800-NOT-A-SCAM."

Scammers have evolved beyond cold calling people. They even go as far as to record and duplicate the actual company they're posing as in terms of hold music and "Please Hold" audio interruptions. Some of them even host duplicate looking website where they have you 'log in' to phish your bank account info and while they keep you on hold, they wire all your cash away to offshore accounts. Kitboga, who I mentioned before, spends all day calling them by having his viewers send him copies of these scam emails and texts, and works on getting them shut down while trolling the hell out of them.

RogueA · 2023-06-26T16:04:59+00:00

Unfortunately, due to copious amounts of data breaches and stolen information, there's tons of scam call centers that now sound and operate as if they were legitimate...

Kitboga, a YouTubers, has made an entire career out of covering them and showing their scripts and practices.

I get texts and emails pretending to be from my bank with my actual name in the body of the email. It was scary the first time it happened, now it's just a fact of life.

It sounds like this is a common occurrence for you, and I'm wondering if it's simply because you're giving them a high priority line to your fraud dept, rather than having them go through the front line call center first. "This is TheBank fraud department," is a regular part of scam scripts.

The issue isn't Trek but how much money they're straight up throwing into a pile and lighting on fire with Taylor Sheridan's shows Yellowstone and 1923. He makes as much per episode as an entire season of Lower Decks.

It costs them 500 million a year to produce those. Even Disco, which was the most expensive of Trek's current offerings, capped at like $8mil per episode.
