Supreme Court wipes out anti-corruption law that bars officials from taking gifts for past favors in c/news@lemmy.world

A "donation" up front says I'll see what I can do, money after the fact says I'll fight for you. Sounds like bribery to me. Not that the current system isn't but backend feels so much worse

Taking my top off? It's what our do regardless of who I woke up as though.

I'm at a roulette table. I only bet on red. When I lose I triple my bet, when I win I restart. Is this a roulette strategy? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I didn't get through all the comments, but most of the top ones and haven't yet seen the most basic casino check to stop these strategies is a table maximum. Same with doubling your bet each hand you lose at black jack, one bad run and you hit table max and you can't raise your bet far enough

I read "cat" instead of car and thought it was a pretty great meme for a moment

Kongregate, Digital Bros. cut jobs in a growing wave of video game industry layoffs in c/games@lemmy.world

Kongregate is still a thing? I thought the move away from flash games killed the names of my youth but I suppose they transitioned somewhere

I assume the quiz was just a portion of the total grade. Scalping some points you don't deserve is still a win.

Phone is acting like mobile data is turned off when it's not (lemm.ee)

I have a Motorola edge plus that will not connect to mobile data. It will show several bars of service but the 4G icon is greyed out like it knows the service is there but will not access it I can make calls and send texts as long as they can be sent as an sms text. I use straight talk as a provider so my talks with customer service have been difficult, but they assure me my plan is in order and go straight to restarting the device (which does not work).

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I'm considering trying a factory reset of the phone to see if that corrects any settings on my end, or maybe buying a new SIM card and reactivating the service? But I don't know if there's any chance that would work or if I should just try harder with customer service.

"I don't want to have to draw my rifle": Georgia GOPer warns of "civil war" if Trump is prosecuted in c/politics@lemmy.world

[-] rjthyen@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago

Obviously I want just charges for the sake of what's right, but I also want to see these fucker's faces when they try to start a war and realize how few ppl are actually behind them at that level. I realize Trump's support is ominously higher than many of us would think, but at each level of intensity it drops tremendously (I don't even think half of his voters would admit to voting for him publicly). At the level out going to war I think they'd look around and feel pretty lonely.

All that said the fact that 47 percent of voters still supported him for reelection is terrifying

Is there a business in your town, which you are 100% sure is a front? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] rjthyen@lemm.ee 71 points 11 months ago

A lot of car washes popping up near me with a monthly fee unlimited washes program that I'm positive is just a better version of what Walter did in Breaking Bad. Scan your app's QR code and away you go, meanwhile someone behind the scenes rings it up as a cash sale and throws $15 into the till.

Curb Your Enthusiasm and Crusader Kings III. Sounds good tbh, I'd watch that in c/memes@lemmy.ml

[-] rjthyen@lemm.ee 33 points 11 months ago

Bluey and Age of Empires II. Not sure what to expect. But if we don't count watching with my daughter it would be Battle Bots and that sounds fun.

is there a way to block the automated archive posts? (lemm.ee)

I'm guessing there isn't at the moment, but I can't stand how overloaded the feed gets with the copy and pasted posts from reddit.

I get that a lot of communities here are small and are trying to add content to up engagement, but, for example, I'll see 5 plus posts from r/aitah in a row with no comments and I don't see why many people would even consider replying when the OOP isn't even here to see it.

I'm actually considering blocking some of the communities that have a lot of this, but don't want them gone once their original Lemmy posts get more frequent.
