See how many words and how much energy it takes to properly explain the situation thoughtfully? The morons spreading those falsehoods don't need to expend nearly as much time/energy because they're just lying.
It's at the point now that conservatives are willing to accept anything in place of the truth as long as it suits their agenda. Guess they could be called "Not-Sees" given their tendency to embrace blatant lies while ignoring obvious and clear truths.
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.
Also catching a whiff of Woody Allen 🫢
Tell you what though--he can't hide those inhuman eyes no matter what kinda clown glasses he puts on
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 ✨
Thanks, atmosphere 🙂❤️ that's interesting design! Will any of the debris reach the planet or is it designed to break apart in a particular fashion?
That's not fair to Kirkland though, lol! They never treated us like that asshole 😛
Funny how he had many of us fooled. I think it was more my naivete that led me to think he was legit. For some reason I've kept returning to the idea that an altruistic billionaire isn't an oxymoron 😑 as many have said and i will dutifully repeat: nobody becomes a billionaire because they've worked that many hours or made that giant of a contribution to the human race--they only acquire that much by withholding a significant share of the profits they've received from the other people that did the actual work to make the money in the first place.
Where will they go after they deorbit? Do we get em back?
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)_/¯
If they did, I bet it would be one of those enormous cheques, like on Publishers Clearinghouse
