• Reminder: Find some efficient and experienced charities to regularly give to

  Someone just invited me to give to a charity, so I thought I'd share the reminder to you, fellow rich non-tithing-payers, haha. https://charitywatch.org appears to be very thorough, sincere, and experienced since 1992. Source: almost 2 years ago

  It isn't baseless. Go look them up on charitywatch.org. You my friend are the one being lazy. Source: almost 2 years ago

• "homeless and need money" signs with kids alongside.

  Just keep in mind that many charitable groups are not that well-run, or even scammy themselves. There are good resources at places like givewell.org, and charitywatch.org, to get ratings on how effectively various charities use the money they raise. Source: about 2 years ago

• TIL that in addition to Red Cross organizations, there are also Red Crescent and Red Crystal organizations, with the symbols localized for acceptance by the community of each nation that has such an organization. In the past there was also a Red Lion and Sun (Iran).

  That isn't true. You need to learn how to do accurate research in terms of non-profits. You can look all of this information up on charitynavigator.org or charitywatch.org.

• Making 3D porn is "easy money"?

  I still have to try https://ci-en.net/, https://slushe.com/, https://ko-fi.com/, https://catbox.moe/, I heard they were possible good alternatives. But I couldn't say, dunno yet. Source: 5 months ago

• Rogue System Reboot

  I did, however, remember another crowdfunding platform that may be the best of both worlds here (second highest voted so far being Patreon).

• Regarding Somerton's supposed drop in Patreon support earlier this year
