I can confirm that. I live in France, and Pride in my (quite small) town doesn't have a single private sponsor. It's all organized by a non profit organization, gathering the various local LGBTQIA+ associations, and associations for STI prevention, human rights activists, feminists and so on.
Before the procession starts, there's a small fair in a public park with (free) stands for all these associations, and stands where goodies are sold to finance the event.
To fight climate change, we need investment in green energy. That doesn't mean we need more and more data centers (there's a surge since 2022) using an energy mix with a undetermined ratio of fossile energy and green energy.

It sounds pretty awesome to me. I wouldn't do anything to break the loop. I'd just let an ASCII message to myself, to be sure I'm still blessed:
"Check the time loop
Roll the crystal blue D6
162453532541426354
Congratulations!
Have a nice day!"
(That's less than 200 bytes. The crystal blue die is next to my PC, I would know which die the message talks about)
The problem is not the rule, but that the many exceptions apply to the written word, whereas they are based on phonological reasons and the same letter can have several pronunciations in English.
Species do not exist for a purpose. They are important in their ecosystem, that's all.
And even if they don't have a role, that doesn't make their existence any less valuable.
