I learned to play the guitar growing up as a young rapscallion in Mississippi. But things didn't really take off until I moved to Memphis. There I met the Colonel and the hits just kept coming. Unfortunately, the fame went to my head, I gained a lot of weight, started wearing a white jumpsuit, and ate tranquilizers like they were trail mix. Then, in 1977, I died on the toilet.

Or did I?

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • I'm assuming your state based on the dubvee lol

    lol, yeah.

    I went through inspection and appraisal 5 years ago when I refinanced, so that's all fine. But I would lose my insanely good mortgage (15 year at 2.2% APR) and have to start again with whatever current rates are though I could likely put down a very large down payment.

    I wasn't seriously considering the offer so much as wondering how legit it was in preparation to sit down and think about thinking about considering the offer lol. But the replies here have cleared up how predatory these offers are, so, yeah, it's going in the trash with the rest of the similar offers.

  • Nothing wrong with a realtor, but I'd have to have somewhere to move to while it's on the market which could be any length of time. I only skimmed the offer, but it mentioned something about transition period for moving, etc.

    I was mostly hoping this would let me short-circuit the usual process of selling and moving, letting me get the money for it, and find somewhere temporary while I look for something permanent.

    Other than just wanting out of this awful state, I really don't want to move/sell. I'd worry about finding another job later as I work remotely now but am expected to go in on occasionally so couldn't work from another state for too long.

    But as the replies have made clear, this entire industry is more of a scam than I assumed it already was, so I'm just gonna keep buying lotto tickets and hoping for the best.

  • That makes sense, and is most likely what the offer is. House isn't a slum, and I'm not facing foreclosure, so I guess they think they can make a profit on it.

    I wasn't seriously considering it, but I was at least looking into it because, yeah, I want out of here.

  • Amy Coney Barrett Unraveled the Case Against Birthright Citizenship With One Question

    Jump

  • Wednesday’s Supreme Court arguments over birthright citizenship went very poorly for Donald Trump.

    The phrase "went very poorly for Donald Trump" can pretty much universally be translated as "Went well for literally everyone else".

  • How do I block a community I was banned from?

    Jump

  • The default UI makes it clunky, but I think you can go to you profile settings (https://lemmy.world/settings) and on the "Blocks" tab search for the community and add it to your blocks.

  • Please please please!!

  • I'm still new to the Fediverse. What are your favorite unique things that your instance does? What do you wish was more widely adopted across instances/federated platforms?

    Jump

  • It's just there and under the same domain. Otherwise, it's a completely separate system that instance users can sign up and use. Maybe in the future they can both use the same OIDC login, but I don't think Lemmy supports that yet.

    The UI we use as our default has Peertube integration, so any videos shared from this Peertube instance (or any other) will show as inline embeds within the Lemmy client.

    Yeah, kinda. I assumed it was a $90 million ballroom with the remaining $210 million being funneled to cronies.
