Why? I am not living in the us but it's a useful phrase.

That website really is infected with advertisement cancer

I know it's a very unpopular opinion but I actually like the aesthetics of infrastructure and industry.

When I see a steel mill, an oil rig or powerplants like wind parks, hydro- or nuclear power I am reminded of the human ingenuity that went into it. How many people needed to band together to work on something bigger than their tribe. I am reminded of our awe inspiring power to shape our environment completely.

Of course with great power... You know the rest.

Bullshit. I've read books with obvious ads in them.

That was something that gets discussed now and then in politics but no. We have a lot of ads targeted to children.

I mean as far as I know they are not doing anything inherently bad and have good intentions. So no need to feel sad.

I am just recommending to look into projects that are in dire need of funding.

Being born into riches is extreme luck.

Or did most of us choose to live on hard difficulty?

(well most of us are probably on medium difficulty, do to the fact that we can post here)

Huh, you are right I've heard that quite a lot as a child. Either my family left that out or my memory is faulty. That would not be surprising of course

Look into it. I cannot explain this well. They actually have more than enough money. In fact they are spending recklessly in other projects because of that.

Yes we should donate if that changes but right now it would be better to donate to less well funded open projects.

Never heard that one in my life. Maybe a regional thing?
