• Can I get an TLDR?

  The "manor" example is one of the few points I've seen brought up in response, but it's far from clear-cut, as the forum posts linked above explain.

• What about people like me who struggle to feel financially safe?

  Sure! None of the ways of donating that I know about (directly to the charities themselves, EA funds, others here) have a minimum amount or anything like that. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do you give to charity?

  It’s easy to look for excuses not to give but donations can make a big difference, especially if targeted in the right places. See comments further down about Givewell and Effective Altruism. https://funds.effectivealtruism.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• Effective Altruism As A Tower Of Assumptions

  Good news: If you want to support global health and development but not animal welfare, you can just donate to the Global Health and Development Fund! None of the money will go to anti-factory farming charities. Even better, you don't even need to go through EA: You could donate directly to charities recommended by GiveWell so you know exactly who's getting your money. Source: almost 2 years ago

• can you train yourself not to be hungry?

  Yes. I am doing this right now through noom.com. It takes a while but for me they say not to ignore the craving but understand what is triggering it: proximity to food, routine, boredom, "fog eating" (which is just mindlessly snacking when sitting on the couch or standing in the kitchen etc.) Then decide what it is you crave and why. So it you want salty, do popcorn with a little salt instead of ships. If it's... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Am I eating too many calories?

  Finally, to answer the question about the calories jumping from 1200 to 1320 see the article on noom.com BLOG called "calorie goals at noom" from 11/21 where they say they raised calories by 10% and it didn't negatively impact member weight loss. Source: over 2 years ago
