This. Effective Altruism is not the same as Earning to Give, and I really wish that the distinction was being made more clear. You can embrace EA to, for instance, make the most of the $1,000 you give to charity every year. There's not

Brave's key selling point was that it respects privacy, and it blocked ads because web advertising is usually antithetical to privacy. I imagine their idea here is that "ads aren't bad if they respect privacy/don't

I remember watching Enemy of the State in theaters with my dad. I remember thinking it was a cool movie, but sort of unrealistic and over-the-top, like James Bond. Now I think it's unrealistic because Will Smith and Gene Hackman surviv

I'm of a similar height and you're leaving out the third option. Fly and suffer. Sit like a GSD with hip dysplasia. But in all seriousness, you're not used to it by now? Paying more for clothes that fit properly, a car that f
