Brake clean is handy for that. (if you don't like the smell)
That is great but you can't move the shares to another dead person (in the show both he and his parents are assumed dead for years) so we are meant to think that they where held in trust, for who? Also while yes the board can force out a chair, but in the case of owning a controlling majority of the business (as stated) this would be pointless and silly, like in my Musk example the entire board would be sent packing. The writing was so poor that it strained my confidence in my own knowledge of basic corporate structure.
He was the Chair, the board "voted" him and 2 others out (somehow). The show states he got the controlling majority of voting shares from his father (also makes little sense since he was assumed dead but that is another gripe). He did not sell any shares as he is later returned to his position, this was just bad writing so they could have him be "poor" for a bit. This was a plot point about how it was his company but then written so poorly they seemed to forget how they set up the fictional company (ie. a private company where the majority of class A shares is held by one person). This would be like if elon musk (Kirkland brand Dr. evil) was booted from space X, everyone would be super confused as to how.
So yeah, this was the end of comic book movies for me, it killed it. They wrote something so bad that the only thing that sticks with me to this day is the hot mess of corporate structure.
The Iron fist show had me livid when the MC gets "voted" out by the board of the company the MC OWNS A MAJORITY OF!!

Twas Dickity 14 or so, and I plan to make good on Microsofts words.
I was shocked the Bingilator picked up on the maze from the story, most people don't even remember the big ass maze.
This reminds me of the short film it's such a beautiful day about losing ones mind/cognitive ability.
So good job!
I am not sure you understand how a mortgage works. Why would I have $375,000 on a mortgage for a house I bought for $185,000 over a decade ago?
The bank "owns" only what is owning on the mortgage with the property and buildings on it as collateral. Even if I stopped paying all together (for some reason) the bank does not want the house, they want the money and will force a sale though foreclosure.
The issue is that we now have two "classes" of non rich people, those that spend money on rent (a cost without equity) and those like me ether old enough or lucky enough to have a mortgage where the money we spend on a mortgage (reducing that debit) is not wasted and the value of our homes keeps going up.
As in possible, but what you do with your pumpkins is none of my business.

My house is now worth a bit over $350,000. And although that is less then $1,000,000 I bought it at $185,000 (and had to use every penny saved to get a down payment) just a decade ago. Even in my small rural town I currently could not afford to buy the house I live in, I doubt this will improve in time.
I might not be a millionaire, but I would guess I am now in a smaller class of people that owns where they sleep. And if the market keeps doing whats its doing I might be a millionaire in time (this is not overall a good thing).
Might want to wait even on that idea until we know they don't destroy themselves. (kinda have to do that with all intel now, sad)
I for one welcome our new overlords. (for the funny only)
We should (the west as this is not just on the states) have armed and trained the women and not the failsons.

Thousands of students enroll in work-for-credit programs, but a 16-year-old’s case shows life-altering consequences of risky jobs and murky oversight.

Sorry if this seems like a silly question but I have noticed over the last few months my feed(?) has started to act odd.
No matter what I do I don't see any posts from .world. I checked and mander does not seem to block .world (kinda why I liked this instance) and even weirder is how my feed gets filled with mostly .ml posts with almost no activity no matter how I sort.
This did not happen before and got me thinking, I don't even know how this works across federated instances.
Does anyone know:
-
How does the sorting work on an instance? Is it all the same no matter what instance it is?
-
Did anything change in the last few months, that would cause all .world (and I assume others) posts to not show?
-
Other then changing instances what can I do to mitigate the weird slanted results?
