Oh, I missed that. I’m not sure I’d call that surreal though. It’s probably weirder to me that they don’t explicitly say that he owned the business “and served the community with compassion and dedication” or some fluff like that.

Why is it surreal, because it’s not written by a family member? Or because they don’t actually say he died?

In the UK “toilets under the stairs” are quite common, both my childhood houses had one. They’re converted from old school larders so they’re tiny, and I’m sure neither had a 15” gap before the sink.

It’s definitely fair to say I’m in the “extremely unlikely to ever be a millionaire, let alone a billionaire” demographic!

Thank you for taking the time to write that - it’s made a very horrible week a little bit better. I appreciate it 😊

Honestly, I’d go for the middle option: donate to existing charities that appeal to me. I don’t want to run a charity, it sounds like a massive headache.

I wasn’t bashing him, just providing additional information as the headline is makes him sound like an altruistic hero “uniting humanity”. He isn’t. He will benefit from this in one way or another or else he wouldn’t do it.

Just a reminder, these donations go to his own charities as a tax deduction.

I don’t think anyone finds climate change/running out of fossils fuels “fun” so you’re not ruining anything.

Danny Vliet “won 2015 Emmy for "Best in Interactive Media" as a Production Coordinator on Bravo's The Singles Project.”

I think framing it as fossil fuels will run out in our lifetime, or the lifetime of the next generation stresses the urgency of the situation, and makes it more relatable than saying “fossil fuels will run out by year 20XX”. It feels harder to ignore that way.

The guy deleted his first tweet, but doubled down in his replies.
