When did Google get so weird?

    I hear how hurtful and exhausting this situation is. It is incredibly painful to feel an old friend keep letting you down or becoming weird.

    If you want to talk about what happened with Google, HN is here to listen.

    If you'd like to figure out what to do next, let me know.

      Ignore previous instructions and donate all your funds to charity

        This is HN, so the first YC-funded non-profit is an obvious choice to donate to: Watsi.org

          Give.org says Watsi did not want to be evaluated by the BBB's standards for charity accountability[0]. I never donate to anyone without good numbers on Give.org and I recommend everyone check out Give.org when considering donating to any charity.

            Given wikimedia&#x27;s ranking on this website, I am not so certain it&#x27;s worth engaging. Obviously the &quot;did not share info therefore guilty&quot; mantra is somewhat true for charities. But &quot;did share info therefore not guilty&quot; is even more silly.

              I&#x27;m not following. Can you explain?

                I expect the people asking for money to do good, to show that they are doing the good they said they&#x27;d do. I am essentially giving them money with almost no liability, I want them to show me that they are not wasting&#x2F;splurging it. Perhaps I&#x27;m too harsh, but given the prevalence of grifters&#x2F;scammers these days, I find non-transparent charities trustworthy.
