Are you talking about DeArrow? The website gives you the option to pay or just download without paying.

I mean the "person" in the car, not the car itself.

That kinda looks like... SCP-173.

Is this an issue of executive dysfunction? Putting the cart back is such a trivial task that I have a hard time attributing it to laziness. It doesn't sound like you're doing it on purpose to be a dick either. Do you find that you sometimes can't do other things that should also be trivially simple? Like getting up off the couch to grab something two feet away, or deciding that lunch is too complicated because you need to put it in the microwave? My partner and I have both gone through this for most of our lives and it really sucks, but it doesn't have to be that way.

And if you don't, someone else will do it for you on your dime.

Before I started adblocking, I'd get "relevant" ads in that I can understand how someone of my age/gender might like it, but they're never things I'd purchase myself. I just want a mostly empty home with as little visual stimulation as possible, and buying more stuff doesn't help with that.

So yeah, I'm definitely saying "ads don't work for me", but it's probably only because these companies refuse to make ads targeted to people like me.

Bills that go towards the goal of keeping someone alive. That someone being either a person who helps victims of conversation therapy through an organization, or a person doing the same thing independently. What makes the former more deserving of compensation for their work than the latter?

And what happens when you donate the money? It's used to pay some other dude's wages, which then goes towards their bills.

I don't see how donating it is any less morally wrong. Between what he did and what you propose, both involve using the money to fix the same problem. The difference is just

  1. whether he provides the services himself or someone else does and
  2. whether we fix it through prevention or treatment after the fact.

They exist, but from what I hear, they're very hard to get. I would've loved to get 30 years with the interest rates I had five years ago.

I think it's typical to get a 5 year contract and having to renegotiate a new mortgage at the end of said contract. At least, it is here in Canada. Rate goes up, monthly payment goes up.

Imagine all the science we could do if scientists didn't have to worry about funding to stay alive.
