The best way to think

This is a good point:

“This is a non-binding pledge of intent only. No funds are collected at this stage. This is not a securities offering, investment contract, or financial instrument. Any references to profit-sharing, dividends, or ownership are proposed concepts only — not confirmed arrangements. The final cooperative structure must be reviewed and approved by qualified securities and aviation counsel before any binding commitments are made. Participation does not guarantee ownership, financial return, or membership in any final entity.”

Still though, I worry that a lot of people are going to be tricked into thinking it’ll be one thing, give money (once they’re actually taking money), and be deceived. Keeping my eye out, just in case, and hopefully others are keeping an eye on it, too.

If they do solidify it being owned by the people like how they’re advertising, that’s awesome and I’m in.

Everytime I’ve been hearing about Spirit Airlines lately, I hear about how this guy trying to rally people to pledge money to buy Spirit Airlines in the hopes of making it community-owned. The problem is, according to their website:

"PROPORTIONAL PROFIT SHARES

Under the proposed Spirit 2.0 cooperative structure, profit-sharing distributions would be allocated proportionally to pledge amount. This is a proposed model only — not a confirmed financial arrangement. The final structure must be reviewed and approved by qualified securities counsel before any binding commitments are made.

PROPOSED ONLY: Profit shares would scale with pledge amount under the proposed structure. This is not a confirmed financial instrument. Nothing here constitutes an offer of securities."

So while I want to see them convert Spirit Airlines into a community-owned airline business (which would be amazing), I need to see this as a confirmed structure first. I can’t shake the feeling that maybe they would steal all the pledge money and then keep it privatized.

Maybe I’m being too skeptical, idk.

EDIT: There’s a legal notice on the page:
“LEGAL NOTICE: Non-binding pledge of intent only. No money collected. All profit-sharing, dividends, voting rights and ownership references are proposed concepts only — not confirmed. Nothing here is a securities offering, investment contract, or financial instrument. Subject to review by qualified securities & aviation counsel. Participation does not guarantee ownership or financial return.”

I went ahead and pledged, confirmed no money was taken out of my account or anything. Hope this is going to happen.

Welp, that attitude is why the written portion of English hasn’t updated in a long time and is why it’s so bad. Also, English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, wild to call it useless lol.

Maybe we can develop our own Lemmy update to written English?

Interesting, I never thought of it from the perspective of AI before.

EDIT: I’m not saying it’s effective in fighting against AI, I just didn’t know about this being a/the reason for doing this and it’s interesting. Before, I just started seeing it pop up everywhere for seemingly no reason. At least there’s logic, albeit flawed, behind it’s origins.

I think there’s a lot of change in written English that needs updating. I think the thorn is lowest priority, if not completely unnecessary lol

No longer a teen, but I remember liking the information laid out by https://www.bls.gov/ooh/

It broke down stats around career prospects, the education requirements to get into that career, the outlook of future job prospects in that career, etc. I didn’t really care too much about what job I worked, just that I had one, and then I could at least enjoy my life outside of it comfortably. I found a few that seemed interesting to me and worked to those. I think having it all laid out for them would be helpful for them to make their own informed decisions.

Same, I was incredibly impressed that installing Linux ended up getting them a masters degree in business admin, and then realized they meant Macbook Air. I was let down a little, but still happy to see life of technology extended further.

That is a dream for me. Thowe pads are the best from what I hear, but they’re so expensive! I haven’t tried itgmania, just mainly stepmania. Tried outfox a long time ago, though it might be different now and I should probably give that another shot.

Do you have any customization on your StepManiaX pads? You can do stuff with the patterns it shows when pressing a panel, yeah?

Some people have been living sedantary life styles, the reasons for such can range from lack of interest to mental illness. Some people get a good dopamine hit from exercise. For others, exercise is a pretty miserable experience.

If someone is reaching out to seek advice on how to improve their lives, lend a helping hand. Please don’t be an asshole.

DDR, Stepmania X, and Pump It Up are awesome and I very highly recommend! If you don’t have easy access to an arcade near you, you can download Stepmania and play on the PC. If you don’t have a pad to hook up to the PC, you can turn on Autoplay and just pretend that there’s a pad under you. You can also just pretend there’s a pad under you while you watch a youtube video (or whatever other platform if they’re there).

I loved how at first, I was able to rebind that stupid button to anything I wanted. Then that stopped and it became only Bixby. Horrible decision - Having a button that can launch any app you want is a beautiful thing that more phones need to get behind.

The fact that fear exists is a reason to stand up against the government.
