Oh come now.. Don't just judge everyone by your own example.

There are groups of people who e.g. 3D print drone parts, along with all the "posturing".

From my own experience - it is quite easy to go through more than $500 of money in filament alone.


Excellent bait. You ignore the points brought up in the parent post. You ignore other peoples' direct questions (like mine about what specific actions you you'd take regarding Ukraine and how you think those actions will play out over the next decade). You actually haven't made an iota of a point, but you're so confident that you have that it distracts from real conversation.


Yeah and because no one beggars themselves to solve world hunger, climate change, or malaria no one cares about those things either. /s


We prioritize things.

I care about Malaria but it does not directly affect me, so I do not prioritize it.

Climate change requires more than a single person and their funds, unless you are Bezos, Musk, or whoever. I know there are ways to contribute to it that are not monetary, but it is more complicated than this reductionist view.

I care about world hunger too, and I am against the waste of food, but what can I do if restaurants are even legally obliged to waste food? I do not buy anything from such restaurants, at least, and I try my best to not be wasteful.

Additionally, how much do SWEs earn per month? I do not earn much at all (for reasons not disclosed here), my money would not even be a drop in the bucket, but a small part of that drop. I personally could not donate $500 even if I wanted to, because that would put me pretty close to homelessness (not that anyone cares).
