I think that’s interesting!

As someone who works in retail, the thing that pisses me off frankly isn’t so much the stupid questions (though yes those are annoying af), it’s the fact that most of the time customers don’t even attempt to figure it out before asking. A question pops into their head and they immediately ask someone. Maybe they should try to use that brain inside of their head before bothering a severely underpaid & overworked retail worker who can barely afford food on the table before asking such an inane question.

Some asshole downvoted you, so I gave you an upvote because there’s nothing wrong with admitting you don’t know something. Welcome to today’s 10 000! ^_^
As for your question, a nonprofit cannot make profit and has to work toward a societal good, while a not-for-profit also cannot make profit but is not bound to that obligation.
From this article:
While all types of nonprofit organizations share the common goal of not pursuing profits, their legal and operational characteristics can differ:
Mission: Nonprofit organizations are required to benefit the public or advance a social cause. Not-for-profit organizations, or “other nonprofits” as the IRS deems them, can also benefit the public or they may focus solely on benefiting their members. Scale: Nonprofits are typically larger organizations that aim to fulfill a larger need, such as the American Red Cross, while not-for-profits (or “other nonprofits”) are often smaller, serving only their members, such as a social club. Revenue Sources: The revenue of a nonprofit organization primarily comes from donations, grants and memberships. The revenue of a not-for-profit organization (e.g., a social welfare organization, civic league, social club, labor organization, veterans’ club or business league) is mostly derived from sales and membership dues. Tax-Exempt Status: Nonprofits are often granted tax-exempt status under section 501©(3), while not-for-profits (or “other nonprofits” as the IRS calls them) can be tax-exempt under other 501© sections.
This is, perhaps to needless to say, a US-specific distinction and may be different or even nonexistent in other countries. :)
Cheers! <3

Haha, no worries. Glad I could help! ^_^

It’s recommended to use CoMaps as that is the more-ethical successor to Organic Maps. (If you’re not aware, there was a problem with Organic Maps being very…non-transparent should I say, and people got fed up with it and forked the project with the intent of establishing a successor app but that was more dedicated to transparency in decision-making.

company or organization that’s not comically evil
In a capitalist system? Good luck with that.
A nonprofit organization, sure, but definitely not a company or a not-for-profit organization.

- Comment on For Americans, what do you really think of Latin Americans? 1 month ago:
I have no opinion because “Latin Americans” are human just like me. They have the same struggles, the same worries, the same joys, the same priorities. Their game pieces are the same; it’s only where on the board they put them that’s different.
To paint a whole group of literal hundreds of millions of people spanning across a geographic region of 1½–2 continents (depending on reckoning) and twenty countries is utter nonsense.

- Comment on Why do video game leaks (such as the huge GTA VI videos leak) cause "low morale" for the staff working on it? 5 months ago:
It’s not okay for management to do that either. The devs don’t need asshole customers doing it too.
- Comment on Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with? 8 months ago:
Exactly. We are human beings too, with feelings, fears, and anxieties of our own.
- Comment on How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same? 10 months ago:
We really are stupid, the whole lot of us. Even the smart ones are dumb as rocks. Specifically coal rocks because we’re damned stupid to stop poisoning our air. Lol.

I’m an American, was born here and lived here all my life, and lemme tell ya I am a goddamned introvert as all hell. Lol.
- Comment on Why does tea taste different when I drink it outside? 1 year ago:
Thanks so much for the suggestions!
Unfortunately, as much as I’d love to try out Yorkshire Tea (I’ve heard they’re amazing), they don’t ship internationally, so as I live in the USA, I don’t think that’s an option for me. :C
- Comment on Why does tea taste different when I drink it outside? 1 year ago:
To be fair, although admittedly a nitpick, I will say I never said that the caffeine dehydrated you, just that the teas and tisanes do, the latter of which may or may not have caffeine.
That being said, I looked it up and yeah you’re right. The evidence does seem to demonstrate that the diuretic effect of the caffeine in teas not substantial enough to really affect hydration levels.
However, it does lead me to wonder why my body seems to dehydrate if I drink more 2 cups of tea in a day. Like, it doesn’t cause me to pee more (at least not more than an equivalent amount of straight water would cause me to pee); my body just dries out.
- Comment on Why does tea taste different when I drink it outside? 1 year ago:
As an American who wasn’t ever raised on tea of any kind but is starting to really love teas, I have to ask: how the hell do you manage to drink 8–10 cups per day without dying of dehydration? If I drink more than 3 cups a day I start to really feel dried out!
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 1 year ago:
I have not once in my entire life heard anyone say it like that. Where are you from? Maybe it’s a regional thing…
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 1 year ago:
sen-tar
“sen-” like “cent” (like 25 cents), and “-tar” like “a tar pit”

- Comment on If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso? 1 year ago:
I think this example just confused me honestly. Sorry.
Put another way, though, is it basically like a sock being pushed so far inward that it goes inside-out and gets bigger again?
- Comment on If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso? 1 year ago:
Ohhh you know that makes sense. So, basically, what you’re saying is this?
[Files] = [Files] [Compressed Archive] = [Files] + [Archive Metadata]
- Comment on If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso? 1 year ago:
Why does it get bigger? I’ve wondered that for a while now.
I would think that compressing something that’s already compressed would still compress it further but at diminishing returns.

he one thing that the wealthy do understand is class solidarity
Seems we in the working class should learn something from them. Too often we fight amongst ourselves (by design!) when we should be going after the rich.

This is why I still use a card instead of those newfangled “phone wallets”. If I go on PayPal or my bank website, I do so through my browser. (and log out when I’m done—that’s most important!)

Not a bad set of promising suggestions… Thanks!
And yeah, I’ve found Proton to be invaluable for making things soooo much easier, but if a game doesn’t have a page, it’s not as easy. Lol.
