Conversely, AC is much less common in places like France and Japan, and it’s not just because they’re too cheap.
This is completely wrong. Like 95% of all households in Japan have ACs. Even on the countryside. I was living in Japan for a year and the only time I visited a house without an AC was on an island with 1000 inhabitants.
How the fuck only 1 in 4? Youre living in a straight up fascist dictatorship. Anyone can be deported at any time for any arbitrary reason. How is not every single person scared as fuck?
I started donating last year, 2 years into my first job. I was unsure then because my impression of charities was that the money probably doesnt go where they are saying, or just a small portion does.
Then I stumbled upon the GiveWell( https://givewell.org/ ) foundation. Their goal is to identify the most efficient charities using a range of criteria. I decided to start with 100€/month distributed 50/50 to fighting poverty and climate change respectively. I also decided that for every raise I get at my job Id raise the amount by 100€ and have done so once by now. I read that its easier to part with future money than with what you already own and it makes a lot of sense.
If youre making a point and part of it is a lie, it is completely wrong.
Lets begin by growing a pair of balls and owning up to your mistakes instead of hiding behind condescension.
