Guess we’ll never know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(I too, was disappointed to get a little ways in before hitting that same wall myself)

Thank you! Like i said, i figured there’s something I’m missing–that would appear to be it.

It honestly just never occurred to me that such a transformation was allowed/possible. A nonprofit seems to imply something charitable, though obviously that’s not the true meaning of it. Still, it would almost seem like the company benefits from the goodwill that comes with being a nonprofit but then gets to transform that goodwill into real gains when they drop the act and cease being a nonprofit.

I don’t really understand most of this shit though, so I’m probably missing some key component that makes it make a lot more sense.

Here’s my proposal:

I’ve heard the claim numerous times that people leave a tremendous carbon footprint. Each person would be assigned a certain amount of “carbon credits” that their life is worth, and the value slowly declines as they get older. If they choose to, one can hop in the expiration bin and donate those remaining credits to a cause of their choice: they can give them to their children, family, or friends, donate them to a charity or research group, etc.

I can just imagine the ads where companies try to compel you to take the early-expiration route while relinquishing your credits to them “for the greater good” or some other such nonsense

Children mass-produced for the glorious stream of carbon credits it would award

Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla et al provide “expiration tanks” in convenient places that send the credits directly to them after each “donation”

Wtf i need to go back to sleep, lol

Night night lemmy ✨

That would be inconvenient to Trump’s claims except that the truth doesn’t matter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, yeah! It was settled in court that they’re strictly an entertainment company. It’s the most-watched cable entertainment station that just likes to riff on the news ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The gears of justice move slowly (or some similar line of dismissive bullshit)

That’s the key difference here

Or be “victimized” by Russian right-wing propaganda?

I’m buying as much TrumpCoin™ as my bank will allow me to transfer right now

Well, of course we could – the fact we haven’t is why it’s come to this. 🫠

While i think it sounds risky, it’s awesome news for anyone that can’t afford proper healthcare. I’m also thinking that given 5-10 years we may see this evolve into something a lot more viable.

"I mean, I’m just^askingquestions^🥴

Thanks!

Can you elaborate?

Who hatin’ on MBFC? MF got 12 downvotes, LOL

Some people got genuine beef with a bot 🤖🖕

Edit: it tickles me to no end that there’s this silent cabal of haters that can’t stand this bot for giving it’s rating on the reliability of the articles source

But didn’t you see their new signs? If anything assures me that they’re normal, it’s gotta be this:

Paper Linux, computing done olde world style 📜 🤖

Similar complaint here. We were ready to replace our 2011 outback and decided it would make sense to get something at least a bit more modern. Loved our outback, and honestly would have bought another if it weren’t for that damn screen.

After getting a gander at that thing, we seemingly confused (or probably just disappointed) our salesman by insisting we wanted the most simple, stripped-down style console they had to offer. Apparently we’re not the most common customers, but i know I’m kinda weird so fair enough. After he went back inside to find out which models they had on the lot that might fit that description, the only one that had a “simple” console was the base model Forester. It was just not enough to transition over from our comfy 6-cyl beast that just had a 6-cd changer with a 1-inch-tall screen and an aux jack, but everything was operated by buttons. Even the rear view mirror had a clever backup camera integrated into it. Makes more sense that way, imo. It was everything we needed and only a smidge more.

I really wish we could have just bought a newer model of the exact same car feature-wise… That outback was a great car 🙂

They probably won’t vote for Harris, but they won’t vote for Trump either.

This is actually possible. There’s a “don’t tread on me” type that has been using their yard as a political billboard for years and i just recently noticed that while they’re still anti- our current Democrat governer, they took down their pro-Trump stuff as well. Now there’s some sign about Jill Stein that’s up but seems a lot less flamboyant.
