  • I fully agree with not limiting themselves financially whether it’s 1,10,100 etc. Their aim is to bring knowledge in all languages to even the poorest parts of the world. If some Lemmy user’s bank account is one of the poorest parts of the world right now, lol…I mean only “you” know how much money you can stand to give while still living comfortably and being entertained in life.

    I have to take small disagreement with the money contribution not making a difference though. It’s the flip side of the same coin that tells people it’s find if they don’t vote cause their one vote won’t make a difference. The hole in the argument is that we don’t vote alone, and we don’t donate alone. The specific attitude “my vote won’t make a difference” actually costs millions of votes every year, just like “my $20 won’t make a difference” could cause millions of dollars of losses.

    But anyway, separate argument from the situation here as our Lemmiford here sounds like they’re in saving mode till things look up.







  • True, but what if the toppings were mustard instead of tomato sauce, yogurt instead of cheese, and Skittles and banana chips and fortune cookies for toppings. Is it still a pizza?

    On some level my acceptance of the pizza does depend on thematically appropriate toppings which I take for granted. There’s room for a weird topping or two but if you subvert all expectations, one risks not being pizza at all.

    But it’s 2024 y’all, the pizza’s orientation shouldn’t matter ;D
