Archive.org, Wikipedia, Signal, Mozilla (I feel the same as you), and a bunch of patreons for artists.

You might be interested in supporting Nebula, which is sort of like if YouTube was a creator owned coop. Lots of good content on there and I feel good about giving them money to compete with google.

We followed your recipe last night! Subbbed beef for Impossible and added half a butternut squash because we needed to use it. It was fucking delicious, thanks for sharing. I’m never making chili without cocoa and coffee in it again.

I quit cold turkey about 5 months ago after smoking for a decade. Might start again, might not. I still get cravings. If I do start again I’m going to make myself learn to roll them by hand instead of buying packs so that it’s cheaper and takes more conscious effort.

Then you can carpool with folks and share expenses and have a safe group of people to go to protests with.

The game can get very easy if you exploit this system properly but is quite challenging if you ignore Pal stats and just grind levels and gear.
