Good idea, link the community and post here, too, thanks.

I think you may have to start a new community for this, I’m genuinely not sure where a story like this might go. Excellent, though. Very interested to find out more.

The “Casual conservation” community is probably too casual for this. Maybe creating something like /c/WildPersonalStories ?

Agreed, of course. Was just pointing out that such a thing did exist. Charities are not the most effective way to handle such issues, absolutely.

Charities absolutely rely on things like public relations and advertising campaigns to raise awareness that they exist and/or need funding. It leaves everyone at the mercy of which charity is “most popular” and if yours isn’t very popular, you could see it disappear. It also means a significant portion of the budget is spent on things that don’t actually address the real problem, which is hunger.

Guy behind Beeper fucked Pebble smartwatch users and developers on his way out.

So when Beeper isn’t making enough money and he sells it… Will you trust who he sells it to to keep it secure instead of aiming to use data for ads or some shit?

I won’t.

Exactly what meals on wheels is for, but it needs more funding, to be sure.

One of my local food banks has a community dinner once a month. The food isn’t anything to write home about, but it’s free.

Requisite Mr. Show:

We have the technology. The time is now. Science can wait no longer. Children are our future. America can, should, must, and will blow up the moon.

I don’t know why disheveled Tom Hiddleston is so hilarious to me as “broke caffeine addict” because the look is far too fitting.

Oh for sure, it didn’t undermine your point excessively, just a little, I was mostly just being cheeky, just how it read to me. As I said, I agree with all the things you’re saying. Cheers!

That’s fair, but in that case you might just say “they likely profited handsomely off this venture” or something similar, because if you reach for dollar amounts like that, it can kind of undermine your point.

making (presumably) thousands of dollars off their users

I agree with this post completely but for some reason you finishing with this makes me chuckle.

Oh no! Thousands! They might be able to pay rent for a month or two!

I’m just being cheeky, and while its true what they did was scummy, it also feels like a really… smallish amount of money?

If we’re literally just talking thousands, and not tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands.

But yeah, fuck Brave.

Firefox gang and Hardened Firefox gang here to stay.

Mozilla’s got its own problems but that’s a story for another day.

They’re uncomfortable laying down so I usually don’t wear them at home

Is the only thing you do at home is lay in bed? I do plenty of stuff at home that requires me to have my glasses on all day.

I put them on in the morning and take them off before bed.

How are people still falling for these?

Lack of education plus an over-inflated sense of self-importance, I would guess.

Good. /thread

Wish we could cancel Executive Orders 12333, 13355, and 13470, all of which are used against US citizens.

Thanks Reagan and Bush, motherfuckers.
