The butterfly, or an overweight jungle cat?

People can have more than one account, so there might be overlap between these two instances.

Also, having an account on one of these two doesn’t make you a vegan, just like having an account on any other instance doesn’t mean you’re not a vegan.

I don’t smoke weed, but you may want to break things down to be more specific. Because currently, the answer is “they die” or “They DUI someone else, they go to jail, then they can’t get a job when they out, so they become homeless. While homeless they start doing survival sex-work, and they are forced into dangerous and unwanted kinks. They then die, of starvation in the gutter, full of debilitating STIs”

Are you smoking a derivative, like shatter?

Are you smoking the actual plant? wrapped in paper? from glass?

Are you vaping something glycol-based?

Are you using a dry-plant vaporizer?

Are you buying your weed from a legal, controlled source?

Are you getting something that’s laced?

You’re right in saying that these devices are basically ancient, and also right about why you should never use all-in-ones for anything that you would want to last more than a couple of years.

I went with the Razr (2023), and it’s great. It was cheap, it gets small, and the screen is on the inside, meaning I don’t need to worry about things scratching it, and the battery lasts a long time.
If there is another similar phone when I go to replace mine, I will grab it.
If all the market offers me is an expensive phone with a giant outer screen, I won’t.

Sometimes I purposefully seek out LGBTQ games.

It’s nice to see a story that I can actually relate to once in a while, instead of another “straight white guy who is enough of an every man to be relatable to the masses, but still strong enough to save the world and get the girl.” Seeing the same “Hero’s Story” over and over and over in media gets boring, and if you want to see more of something, that thing needs to be profitable so more people make it.

Sorry, I thought the person who was assumed dead was the father, not the character receiving the shares. If the person receiving the shares was the one assumed dead, it makes way more sense as to why it was less believable. It’s still possible but, unless things were set-up in a way that already assumed that everyone would be dead, except for that one guy, who is still totally alive but is going to be missing for a while, then it’s highly unlikely.
Then again, this is a universe where magic exists, so a wizard did it.

Depending on how long MC was presumed dead, and if there were any issues with either his estate, or of his father, the shares could be held by the personal representative of either estate for quite some time. If there was any less than 7 years between when his father died, and when he came back, then it’s completely reasonable that he would be entitled to those shares. The longer it is after that seven years, the less likely it is that he would have the shares. The shares could’ve also been held by another entity, like a family trust or holding company. And as long as a trustee, or a controlling interest in the holding company, was still alive and willing, they could give him back the shares.

But: He wouldn’t have an officer or director position in the main company if he was presumed dead. Directors need to be re-appointed every year, and depending on the set-up of the corporation, you sometimes need to be a director in order to be an officer, or the officers need to be reappointed every year. A position like “chairman” was likely appointed to someone else rather quickly after the presumed death. Then again, it might also have the wildest bylaws ever written, likely by a wizard.

It probably was just bad writing for the sake of a forced story line, but the board can (generally) vote out the chair, and the shares going from a deceased person to another entity is called transmission. Transmissions do generally require the directors to sign a resolution or two though, and if they voted him out as the chair, then they likely would do what they could to prevent the transfer of the shares.

And even if they booted him as chair of the board, it likely wouldn’t have much of a financial effect.

Honestly, it’s possible, but I’ve never seen the show, and I don’t know if they break down the corporate structure.

Owning a majority of the stocks in a corporation, doesn’t automatically mean you have any real power.
Having the majority of shares, even if they are voting shares, doesn’t mean you are part of the board of directors. And if the shares that MC held were retractable and redeemable, even if they are voting shares, then the board can force the shareholder to redeem (aka sell) them back to the corporation, often at a pre-set price.

“But, the voting shareholders decide who’s on the board, and he had the majority of the shares!” I heard you say. Again, does he actually have voting shares, or just the majority of the shares issued?
Do we know what constitutes a quorum of the shareholders according to the bylaws of the corporation? AKA if he has 51% of the shares, but they need persons holding at least 60% of the voting shares in order to hold a vote, can he get enough shareholders together to hold a vote to change the directors before the directors vote that need needs to redeem his shares?

Was he completely forced to sell/redeem his shares, or was his officer role just removed? (aka, he’s no longer the President, the Secretary-Treasurer, or whatever). Shareholders are a step removed from choosing who the Officers are. Generally, Shareholders choose the Directors, the Directors choose the officers, and the Officers are the ones who issue the shares (even though they are often compelled to sign the share certificates by the Directors, the bylaws, or other resolutions).
So if he owns the majority of the shares, and was an officer, then he could very easily be removed as an officer, assuming that there wasn’t a stipulation in his original appointment. Again, I would need to see the articles, the bylaws, any Unanimous Shareholder Agreements, resolutions, and other agreements.

Also, everything I wrote might not be valid in your jurisdiction. Don’t take the late-night ramblings of anyone online as legal advice.

That’s 8 keystrokes, nice!

The law, in basically everything.

Some places give you a whole week to vote, and the polls are open 12 hours a day. So if you something happens and your plans are ruined, you have ample time to still make it to the polls.

They edited the formatting of their comment, so they do look the same now.

I just use the normal Lemmy web experience on desktop Firefox.

If the width of the window is made quite narrow, like on a phone, they will look the same. At full size, or in landscape, they won’t.

The formatting is a little off. At the end of a line, before you hit enter, leave 2 spaces.

I think it’s because they are emulating chaos-based reality tv shows.

These garbage reality shows had people using speaker-phones in public so they can record both sides of the conversation as easily as possible.
