I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
Special skills include: Knowing all the “na na na nah nah nah na” parts of the Three’s Company theme.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks
Lol, I should have indicated I was speaking rhetorically but that’s pretty much all true and matches what I’ve seen from the people with that particular flavor of origin story.
The third aspect is you can’t actually ban anyone because they just spin up a new alt and start the same shit all over again.
Not to my knowledge, but I’m also out of that loop since I’ve defedded YPTB’s entire instance because of shit like that.
lol, so true.
Although when I sold mine, we had people literally break our counter during a viewing
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.
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.
Bombadil was referred to as “The Hermit” before they revealed his identity when GrandElf (aka Gandalf née The Stranger) crosses paths with him.
Someone said if you forget it’s LOTR and just treat it as its own thing it’s not half bad.
Basically. I don’t forget it’s LOTR but I do keep in mind it’s not the Peter Jackson trilogy nor a 1:1 from the books.
I was really really hoping it was going to be about the fall of Numenor.
It is, but it’s slow burn and a something of an overall B-plot to the titular Rings of Power in the second season and the creation of Mordor in the first.
The main online gripe that I can agree with how the characters “fast travel” as plot demands. I just accept that as necessary to condense things down to a suitable runtime for a TV series.
He’s in Rings of Power which I guess counts as a derivative. I don’t want to start a flame war since a lot of people hate that adaptation, but I enjoy it for what it is.
Right timeline, wrong universe.
It’s probably an April Fool’s Day gag.

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.
Quite reliably, yeah. The only limitation is I can’t root my current device, so the mapped keys can only work when the screen is on. But the volume keys will wake the screen up, so I just hit it once normally then hold to mute or change tracks or whatever.
You can do that with KeyMapper, and I have a lot of custom actions set up with it.

I have double-press volume down set to toggle mute, though, since I’m already using long press of vol up and down to do next/prev track for my music player.
Regardless, I cannot recommend KeyMapper enough. It’s pretty fantastic.
You beat me to it lol. I just watched Skin of Evil the other day and meant to re-make the meme again but higher res. Here’s last year’s: https://dubvee.org/post/dubvee.org/2546762
Nope. I’ve had ^Reddit as one of my regex community filters for some time now.
The only Tony Todd episode I occasionally skip is “The Visitor” but not because it’s bad. Just “too soon” from a losing my own father perspective.
