  • Being able to run a site without donations for years without any incoming donations is a great thing, but years isn’t really that long, and what would happen when that money ran out? There would be a last minute funding push for a company with a proven record of financial malpractice, who would want to donate to it then?

    You’re right that the editors don’t get money, but they do get a reputable unbiased platform that they can share their knowledge on, and for many people that’s more than enough. (Source: Wikipedia, Reddit, Lemmy)














  • Feels like I’m being baited here…

    As (I am) a full swing left cis het white guy, you’re feeling written off because people aren’t acknowledging you?

    Man I’m pretty happy to apologize for the arrogance exhibited by the majority of my ilk, to be acknowledged that we aren’t all like that, and to have it never be brought up again. I don’t need a spotlight shone on me, my troubles are the same as most people’s, except I’m not fighting to keep my rights or having my character questioned because of my nature (something that I’ve noticed should probably be happening more, but I’m among the privileged that are first overlooked).

    You voted for Kamala, did you also vote for Obama twice? And would’ve a third time? Paying lip service and voting are the absolute minimums you could do, and I don’t think you can say we aren’t represented by the left wing when we have newsome, sanders and 50% (number from my ass) of the rest of the left wing elected officials representing cishet white guys, and those who aren’t are still representing us, I’ve not heard 1 of them say “down with white guys”.

    I come from Christopher Titus ‘love is evol’ school, “I’m whitie and I apologize” I don’t need any more help or acknowledgement than what I’m given getting to exist in this society built around people like me for me, I just want to see others share in the privilege that I’ve existed in my entire life.





  • Minecraft Creator notch went the same way, as did Dilbert author…

    I’m convinced there’s a cabal of billionaires that either get dirt on people on the rise and corrupt/blackmail them, or eliminate people who are not corruptable before they get too rich/powerful. It doesn’t take much to kill someone, and neuvo riche probably aren’t prepared for the precautions they’d actually need to take.

    That and money corrupts (or so we’re told, seems like it’d make as much sense that people who hoard money corrupt)
