A lot of us look at lemmy on our phones. But if you want to give credit to the OP why not post the picture and then just drop the link to where you got it from?

Justified is different than calling anyone who tried joining at 18 scum and immediately dismissing them, which is also true for someone who joined a gang at 18

Have you talked to anyone in the armed forces? Many of them are there because they grew up poor and in the U.S. joining the military can be a good way to get out of poverty.

Only a tiny fraction actually do any combat and even fewer commit war crimes. The main ones committing “war crimes” is Congress who does things like give weapons to Israel.

at some point we would have to shift the date and it’s much more convenient to do that at night

Reddit might be bad but the garbage rage baiting and algorithms designed to show you the dumbest takes on twitter and threads is sooo much worse in my opinion

That charity doesn’t pay him a salary, the worst you could say it does is pay for hotels/airfare/food (that I am not even sure if the gates foundation does for him) but even if it did it would be a fraction of the money like when I say a fraction I mean less than 0.0001% so like paying a tax rate of 99.9999%. You keep talking about PR but what is the PR for? Because again you could get much better PR for an absolute fraction of the price.

Like for the same reason no billionaires should exist because a billion dollars is unfathomable a billion dollars could pay for so much stuff that funneling it through a legit charity is just not worth it.

I have personally got a grant approved by the gates foundation to help fund clean water in El Salvador which is why I am taking this somewhat personally. Like you can talk shit about bill gates but there is no way that he is just as bad as other billionaires like musk

He isnt doing it for the tax break… like think about that logically if he normally spends 10m a year then he pays taxes on that 10m if he sells 100B of stock and donates it he doesn’t have to pay taxes on the amount he donates but still is out the 100B.

There are degrees of evil, a person who spits on a person is not as bad as someone who kills a person. A billionaire who feels bad as he ages and tries to give that money to charity is not as bad as someone using that money to fund Nazi groups.

Like I am not saying spitting on people is okay but to lump someone who spits on people with someone who kills a persons as “no better than the others” is wrong and if anything we should be encouraging more billionaires to donate their money as it’s at least better than them hoarding it

What is added by having a small face in the corner of the screen that partially blocks the actual content of the video? Like with straws it’s to help people with grip strength or with unsteady hands to be able to drink water so what do you actually gain from the persons face? I am not trying to be attacking but just trying to understand

That’s why I put it in quotes sinces it’s all bullshit but it’s how’s they draw the line

You get “compensated for you time” not paid so with whole blood it usually only takes 10 minutes so they don’t need to pay as much. With plasma it takes closer to an hour which is why they pay more. A lot of the plasma clinics don’t actually give the plasma to people but instead make drugs from them that they sell for a huge profit
