I finally made a decision and took the Giving What We Can pledge. Instead of feeling helpless about the evil going on in the world, do something about it and improve the world as much as you can with what you have. Don't settle for giving to the charity that has the best marketing materials or the most emotional appeal, look at the numbers and give to the charities who are doing the most good for the least amount of money. Every dollar matters. Every person can easily save many lives every year. Make a difference and take the pledge.

 "Saruman believes that it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk, that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love." - Gandalf
How to Leave Substack.
You Should Probably Leave Substack
You should probably leave Substack. Here’s why and how.
 If you want to leave Substack because you don’t want to be beholden to a centralized platform, then great! That’s a decent reason to leave. But everyone whining about Substack not having tight censorship is silly. The only reason there’s censorship online is because of advertisers. Companies don’t want their names next to Nazi propaganda, which is fair. Substack is subscription based so there’s no point in all the pomp and show of censorship. Censorship is stupid, leaving Substack because you want Substack to decide what people can and cannot write is stupid.

 I when walking the fine line between safety and privacy, I tend to come down on the side of privacy, but it does seem strange that breathalyzers aren’t required on cars. They’re not very privacy invasive and it seems like it would do a lot of good.
