I can't be clear enough in this... WE ARE OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS. Not wanting to overload us is terrible a reason for authors to avoid submitting their own (non-"AI") work. You have the stories we want to see.

Oh, yes, for sure. :( I mean, they simply don't care as long as the lines go up and to the right.

I mean, they paid very rich people money to manage it, sure. With some conditions, maybe? But I guess the point is that I'm actually ok with the cost, given the fund, but the numbers are still far, far, far too big.

Operating costs on the Apple €13.7bn for 2023 was ~€6m, which seems like a big number (ok, it is a big number, but...) until you realise that's .0436% of the fund, which makes it more "reasonable." This is why billionaires shouldn't exist, the numbers are just too goddamn big.

Look, if other people's gender or (consensual adult) sexual orientation makes you uncomfortable, the work you need to do is on yourself, not them.

Here’s what I firmly believe about climate catastrophes: the answer is never to place blame or to shrug and say certain people need to “just move.” There is no place that isn’t going to need help in some kind of a catastrophe.
