tomdeboer··on Steve Wozniak:I gave all my Apple wealth away because that's not what I live for
That’s a very cynical take.

You are not completely wrong of course, but an NGO like you describe is able to survive in a capitalist environment. Without it, it would not succeed. It succeeds at this _while_ sharing and redistributing resources. Not in a perfect, or even the most effective way, but one that allows the employee to find a balance between a job and volunteering. And one that is a net benefit to society (given the cause is beneficial etc), compare to for-profit companies that exclusively benefit shareholders

tomdeboer··on Contagion in Mass Killings and School Shootings (2015)
Are you referring to students as minorities? I don't think that is accurate. Also, the study states attacks are more likely to spark other, similar attacks in the first 13 days on average. I think your statement is overgeneralizing here.

What keeps you from installing an alternative browser, like Firefox or Chrome for iOS? I recently switched to Opera Touch on iOS and it’s been great so far. Definitely worth a try I would say.
