    Yeah where? You just said down voted like your personal opinion on the post mattered. Then edited to say upvoted like anyone cared or you were deluded into thinking it was thanks to your little tiny point down

    Maybe I am angry but the frikin internet archive is going down, I hate this shit




  • Yeah well if they call/mail you specifically getting your contact from some leak database you can safely mark them as scam. As great number of them are.

    Similarly you wouldn’t give money to beggars in the street because you know most of them aren’t in need of help but make money like this, scamming ppl while those that really need help are helped by various legit orgs you give money to instead.

    Those scummy orgs are like these beggars manipulating you into pity. It’s very powerful manipulation mechanism and very often works. My grandma was scammed like this many times before we persuaded her to not send money to random people. Instead you should sit down, browse the list of legit orgs and choose one/few to support once a year/month with some amount.

    Or you can just pay taxes if in a country with robust, developed social welfare system and enjoy.



  • Of course, it happens all the time with many non profit orgs. They even pest you and call people for donations. You didn’t know?

    My grandma is pestered daily from some organisations that ‚help poor kids’ or whatever. Pretty lucrative business.

    Some even get public money and are connected to politicans that sometimes launder public money through them, seemingly with no consequences.

    Legitimate ones will never removed for cash with spam emails or calls and won’t be connected to government. All the rest are just get rich schemes.

    You have to do proper, thorough research before you donate money to some kids helping org or similar. Else you will just fund someone’s Porsche.





  • Liberals means different things around the world. Here it means free markets circlejerkers, Adam smith cultists, invisible hand of the market preachers while at the same time anti lgbt for some reason. Pro freedom but anti freedom. Full of paradoxes. Neonazi too and even conservative despite based around free market peddling.

    After all we live in a post truth word where even people who agree with each other cannot communicate anymore due to shifting meaning of the words thanks to the politicians and media.

    How can we even converse if the words itself are stolen, changed and used for war? Do we need to use mathematics instead of language if the latter is disfigured beyond recognition? Changed into a tool of some demagogue?
