Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread XLIII - Uninspired Sequel to an Uninspired Event

It's a sad day when Justice send people to the steak.

Yeah. Especially when the server forgets the barbecue sauce.

(I'm so evil, evil, evil.)

Are we gonna stake the steak ?

Do you have a stake in companies that stake steaks?

ROFL. Oh I like that one Ann! Thank you for brightening my day.

Just like the sunrise

Remember: Rocketing fellow posters into space to compare them to a sunrise is considered to be naughty. Unless:-
1) It is to save them from an exploding planet, and is a key part of their origin story.
2) They have a AAA Brande Industries spacesuit. Not the AA ones, they'll try to get you to buy.

And definitely not a McCauley Industries spacesuit, those things have shoddy quality

Not as shoddy as ACME, though. Just ask Wile E. Coyote.



Thanks, guys. Very sweet of both of you to say.

A friend of mine likes to use the term "sunshine spreader". I think it's very apt

Awwww...

Spreading the light of love, that's me. It's nice to be nice instead of bitter and snarky.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, Annfie

Sometimes, I find it hard to be nice, too. But know that I appreciate you being nice!

Thank you. And I agree, it's not easy to be nice, but it's well worth it. It's a tonic for mind, soul, and body.

Being nice is its own reward

The Avenue Q musical has a song about this -

The Money Song. In it, once the characters start donating money, they realise how good it makes them feel. To quote the chorus :

Both:
When you help others,
You can't help helping yourself!
When you help others,
You can't help helping yourself!

Once they donate all their money, they will be relying on the goodness of others.

It's sad what happened to Spend-Happy McGee. He just kept donating and donating to get that high, and now...

Every now and again, there's a scandal here involving names going on charity contact databases, resulting in the poor person being inundated with requests. Like a lot of marketing, they channel people that are most likely to donate. So we have stressed out, poor old people who give everything they have. Lessons are learned by those involved. Yet it still seems to happen.

Since it surfaced years apart, the companies/charities involved have no shame. People who stop donating are often bombarded to get them to restart payments too. It's shaped who and how I give pennies to.

ah yes, I've had one like that. even asked me why I wanted to stop donating. that was during covid, and I said, I have family who do have covid so will be supporting them first... they hadn't a thing to say against that

I prefer donating to things that I know directly where it's going.

It's tough finding reliable organizations.

You need to be organised to find them efficiently.

Yep. We've been donating to the county food bank for the last several years, as we know its a good org.

But now we've changed counties, so we need to figure out where to donate next! I think we're likely to donate to some Hawaiian relief funds, but we need to make sure we pick the right one.

here in the Netherlands there's a sort of official joint donation site/line/organization. It's as safe and efficient as any
