2016-03-20 at 12:19 PM UTCYou just financed 1/20th of Helladamnleet's dental plan. Congrats.
Random name drop. Oh yeah. -
2016-03-20 at 12:20 PM UTCOn the real, though. What did you buy for us?

Nothing, that's the point of a donation. -
2016-03-20 at 2:35 PM UTCWhat's the point of this thread? I thought Lanny might have agreed to fixing the site but instead of taking the money himself he told you to donate it. That's what I thought.

I guess the conversation went something like "I'm working on fixing it, calm your tits, money won't make it go faster" "okay but I want to give you money" "fine, give it to charity". -
2016-03-21 at 1:22 AM UTC^^ Yee, that's pretty much it. Cap't said he'd donate to the site if I would fix it, I said I'm working on a fix for a few of the major issues (namely a migration back towards vB3 or 4 which have less buggy/broken approaches towards things like PMs), he said he has cancer and wants to give his money away and I said it'd be better spent with givedirectly, my personally preferred charity which operates by making direct cash transfers to the extremely poor primarily in Kenya and Uganda (a preference made based on the empirical efficacy of the strategy in improving human lives per dollar spent).
Considering the personage in question I think it's safe to assume cap't donated a few bucks and used either photoshop or the browser dev tools (either of which would make it trivially easy to falsify the amount donated) to come up with the screen caps in OP. But my skepticism aside, donating any amount to a good cause is a commendable deed, I'm happy if even a couple of dollars went to helping people who could make better use of that money than people like me or CF.
I could rant for a while on why effective altruism is a good thing, on why first world citizens wildly underestimate both the amount of happiness their money can buy for others, and the happiness they can get from helping others, but that's largely besides the point. The relevant facts here are that starving niggers just got somewhat less starving and that's a good thing. A better thing than you're going to feel all month. A thing which, if you invest in it, will justify your depressive suffering because no matter how bad the exetencialist sense of emptiness we feel as a product of who we are, our upbringings, the albatross of western intellectualism about our necks, something good has been done and even if we are so emptied of a meaningful emotional existence we can at least acknowledge, on a purely intellectual level, that something good has taken place here.

2016-03-21 at 2:15 AM UTCFor some reason HTS in Tinychat seemed to seriously think we were the same person (alter egos), possibly others as well. Are you really a rich Pakistani playboy after all?
CF, if you're really giving your money away, may I have some to get my life together (currently a post-mental breakdown hikikomori who's too resistant/afraid to form human relationships)? I want to become a darknet dealer, which I think I would be suitable for, and startup capital would be useful.

Having sexual intercourse with cats will do that to you.

Niggers not starving is good?

IT IS A LEGITIMATE QUESTION "does the nigger have the same moral status as myself?". FUCK NIGGERS who disagree. There is scarcely a sentient soul who doesn't think we need to draw a distinction between ourselves and, say, plants. If one such distinction is possible and widely agreed upon we owe it to at least consider the possibility that similar such distinctions exist between subgroups of homosepians. So let's ask the question honestly: do africans have a lesser moral status than those descended from europeans? In an honest appraisal I believe the answer is no. The element of human nature that makes us morally considerable objects, things whose interests are worth pursuing, is the fact that we have what seems to be the maximal known apparatus for pleasure/suffering. We can feel joy and pain seemingly more intensely than any other species. So then do sub-groups poses greater or lesser capacity for same? I think the answer is yes but we have no significant evidence to assert such capacity cuts along racial lines: indeed the starving african seems to have all of my own facilities that would be involved in an activity like starvation. As keen as my own, or anyone else's suffering, would the africans' be. It is then our duty to alleviate that suffering, to ensure well being in its place, as it is our duty to find ourselves food should we find ourselves starving. -

While you are right to be sceptical, in this case all $500 were donated. You cynical ass nigga 😒 -

I hope you don't take this personally but your entire being, specially including what you plan to do with your funds, is anathema according to my view of the world. I cannot in good conscience give you anything but my best wishes. -

No, Lanny made that part up. -
2016-03-21 at 10:04 PM UTCI'm trying to change. And what's wrong with drugs? What if I was only interested in psychedelics?
No, Lanny made that part up.
Damn. Are you really rich, or just so desperate that you would do this for a dying/largely dead community, a remnant of the only thing close to a social life you once had? -
2016-03-21 at 10:50 PM UTCIf someone sends me $50 I'll buy syncans and take massive doses for everyones entertainment. I will even IV it.

Are you serious about this darknet vendor business? You have been making an oddly increased number of "email me, we'll talk out of band" kinda posts lately. How much do you think you'd need to set up shop? If you do open up shop send me an email, I can be one of your first customers <3Damn. Are you really rich, or just so desperate that you would do this for a dying/largely dead community, a remnant of the only thing close to a social life you once had?
He just likes to try to troll me on steam. He's kept up with the being rich gag for years and years now and in all that time he has yet to do a single thing that would provide any real evidence for the notion that he has the amount of money he acts like. I'm supremely confident he's middle class at most.
