Already ahead of ya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event:Wiki_Loves_Pride_2026
Event:Wiki Loves Pride 2026
Wiki Loves Pride 2026 is a global campaign to expand and improve LGBTQ-related content across all Wikimedia projects, organized by Wikimedia LGBTQ+. It takes place throughout the entire month of June in celebration of the International LGBTQ Pride Day. This event is connected to Wiki Loves Pride 2026 at Wikimedia Meta.
en.wikipedia.orgidk if I can single out Wikipedia, because most charities/non-profits are the same kind of scams
where they just burn money on admin costs and shareholder bloat
Wikipedia is an amazing service, but I don't give them money anymore
At this point autistic people would fully maintain wikipedia for free anyways
they don't need more than like 2-3 admins
they have to pay for infra
but they have that all secured forever anyway
They spend ~$200M/year, and their total hosting costs are ~$3.6M of that, which are fully funded by government grants anyway
I like Wikipedia though, so of all the bloated non-profits, I'm more ok with them having money to burn
just wish they were less pushy trying to get donations

I had the wierdest dream.
I dreamt I went to a conveniant store to ask for a job.
And the guy working there refused to give me a job because he thought I was Indian (and he didn't trust indians).
Now, I have nothing against people who are racist against indians. It just perplexed me that he thought I was Indian (I usually get mistaken for Italian). But also: who'd ever heard of a conveniant store owner that refuses to hire Indians?

It was also so fucking expesnive for that one small can, almost 4 dollars lmao

buypoppi.caYeah, not something I would ever buy if it was not literally free
idk why everyone thinks their is a market for health sodas
CULTURE POP
that's the one that's big around here
Culture Pop Soda - if soda grew on trees
If soda grew on trees, it’d be Culture Pop. Crafted with organic fruit juice, organic herbs and spices, and a live probiotic — Culture Pop tastes as real as its ingredients. Culture Pop is unlike any soda you’ve had before — no refined sugars, no sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or aspartame - just the real stuff.

Its not a bad idea
It was fine
It would have been better if it was not carbonated

I really hate it when people post news videos as youtube shorts. Whenever they get recommended to you, youtube never tells you when those videos were uploaded before you click on them so you end up in situations like this https://youtu.be/Kar3E2qkYrM?t=17

People that say that you shouldn't leave the freezer door open because it will overload the motor are full of shit
The real reason you shouldn't leave the freezer door open is that the freezer quickly develops icy layers, overwhelming all your cardboard boxes, and then you can't close the top-of-the-fridge-freezer-door because it ices over where the door is supposed to close
Just tried to plug a USB type C adapter into my ear because I forgot I had taken off my headset, and wanted to charge said, no longer on my head, headset while it was in use

My buddy who works at Verizon has to call overseas tech support sometimes and in the past weeks, they stopped having Indian accents. Turns out, Verizon's using AI to remove the Indian accent because people find Indians so untrustworthy that customers immediately hang up on them. So... good luck with incoming Indian scammers with American accents.
lol

You can still tell because of the phrasing they use and adherence to the script
idk what interactions with a call centers are even needed other than:
"Hey company, you fucked up and I need you to replace something"
I think retail has conditioned people to abuse the systems, which is why you want *some* friction
But I feel like none of this really needs to exist anymore, and if it does your business is likely confusing/exploititve on-purpose
