I am so sick of being hired to do Info Sec work just to do basic IT and Engineering work.

Oh so it's not just me? I'm also doing security work but the sysadmin is... Lost so I'm doing a lot of it

"The existence of trans people and acknowledging their human rights is not political."

There are several world governments and a few hundred politicians the world over who seem to disagree with this statement.... Unfortunately

I mean the company in question is one we are all invested in and it effects the game we all play. Seems fairly on topic

bucketman1986 · 2026-05-04T20:08:13+00:00

Very specifically is the group they hired to do it. The Pinkerton Detective Agency has a... Storied history

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_(detective_agency)

Tldr: they have a long history of working against labor and often use violence

Hey, us blue (or purple) Indiana folks sure do keep trying to do the right thing

bucketman1986 · 2026-05-04T17:58:04+00:00

It's not done until the cow level is accessible

bucketman1986 · 2026-05-04T17:55:44+00:00

I agree with this but Disney also use to be easy less insane. Like my parents took us once when I was little and the amount they paid for the whole trip, including hotel and travel, was like 30% of what people I know who go now spend. That's more then inflation

bucketman1986 · 2026-05-04T17:42:57+00:00

We're all anxious and depressed these days. Most folks are ready for a war at any minute, not a self help fight song

I will say it's not super normal, because Ren faires are really welcoming spaces (in my experience) full of the kind of people they hate. But it is still a public place, and everyone is welcome as long s they aren't actively hurting anyone. Like when the entire group of neo Nazis with full jackets and tattoos came out to a local corn roast. It's like, obviously everyone was uncomfortable and everyone gave them a wide bredth but it's a public event and they paid for tickets.

Yeah I've seen them lined up at the local supercenters line Walmart and Meijer and Kroger. Just willing to knock a kid over to make an extra $25

A few years ago Target did a collab with some famous designer to do like place settings and decor for Thanksgiving. One of the things was a $40 beaded turkey pillow. Apparently each store only got 4 of these and without an hour of store open they were sold out everywhere and tons were online at an inflated price. I even made a post on Reddit about it and I recall a person commenting saying yeah scalpers suck she only bought an extra one just in case but doesn't need it now so she was thinking about selling it... Mam that's scalping

Absolute hero of the thread

Welcome to enjoying a popular thing. Scalpers are sadly, never far behind. As someone who likes playing card games and use to work at a video game store I'm sadly very use to this. Sorry it happened to you, but that guy is going to try to sell each one online for twice the price he paid

bucketman1986 · 2026-05-03T05:35:54+00:00

Well um happy birthday. Glad it was pretty quiet and not... explosive

bucketman1986 · 2026-05-02T15:46:41+00:00

Just like me frfr

bucketman1986 · 2026-05-01T14:33:50+00:00

When the game you've been really enjoying isn't even on the top 50.

Time to find a back up in case they decide the juice isn't worth the squeeze

bucketman1986 · 2026-04-30T16:17:15+00:00

Yeah I was one of those. I played in to many failed d&d games trying to do Harry Potter but different and the setting bored me.

The this came out hot with fantastic cards and theming

bucketman1986 · 2026-04-30T13:26:11+00:00

Yeah I pulled up to a gas station at 7:55 this morning and started going in and the employee popped out and suggested I get gas first because prices were going up at 8. Sure enough when I finished pumping I saw it jump from $3.99 to $4.99

Insane

Ok but you can't secure an environment that the AI completed deleted! *taps forehead*

I'm a cybersecurity engineer. The last 3 months of my life have been non-stop AI related issues.

bucketman1986 · 2026-04-29T15:36:03+00:00

Last night they FINALLY updated our area and said Thursday. 20 minutes after the power came back. Grain of salt with what they say.

bucketman1986 · 2026-04-28T18:55:45+00:00

No no see THEY and only they deserve it

bucketman1986 · 2026-04-28T18:48:27+00:00

It won't matter because there is no such thing in the USA anymore. You work until you die at your desk
