@marcoarment@mastodon.social I get solicitation emails and text messages about selling my dads house. He still lives there, but I ask for about 10x market price just in case. I figure if I sell his house for 10x what it’s worth, I can keep 10% and pay off my house.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social I interpret that as saying ‘Want to sell your business to MicroSoft, or someone like them because wouldn’t that be prestigious to be owned by such a large deep pocketed company, even though SEC may not allow us to say this to just anybody. Do you feel ‘aligned with Microsoft’? Rather than saying, ‘Hey you own Microsoft. Want to sell it?’ Or even saying ‘Want to sell your Microsoft stock?’

@marcoarment@mastodon.social I’m not sure Microsoft is worth fixing, but if you’ve got change for $100, I might be able to scrap it and get my money back.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social You better disclose that you can't sell their soul--they'll have to take up that part of the bargain with Satan.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social See what they're willing to offer. If it's good, go for it and move to a non-extradition country. The Asian choices look best: Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Nepal, Mongolia, Bhutan, Indonesia (Bali is part of Indonesia), Brunei. I wouldn't pack before moving though..

@marcoarment@mastodon.social you could sell it, definitely. Delivery might be a problem.

@mauvedeity@mastodon.social 2026-07-16 21:06
@marcoarment@mastodon.social if you did, would you rename it “Marcosoft”?

@marcoarment@mastodon.social It's about three trillion US dollars. But you should ask for more, as needed to motivate actually doing it. 😈
