I'd like to point out that Plinkey said he'd have a spreadsheet by the next month; he's probed past that deadline for shitposting in the new goonbux thread, so I think it would be productive to wait for his probe to run out before setting fire to the thread, at the very least.

i talked to Jeff, next month I'll post a public spreadsheet

Looks like he got probed for 3 days on Nov 27th so if he was planning to follow through on this then it would have to be once he comes off probe tonight

I'm glad about the new fund. Anyone looking for help, that thread is the place to go. Should probably gas this one to avoid any confusion, since these request are often time sensitive and the new thread seems far more responsive at this point.

The new thread only covers the US, so they aren't covering the same ground.

if someone has an urgent need posting there can still help bc it will spread awareness and individual donors might be able to work something out. but yeah the charity itself wouldn't be able to.

Did you forget about the blue star next to your name or what? This is EXACTLY what you are ffs. The OP of this thread explicitly states what it’s about and how it works. All of these trolls that swoop in every few days just to stir the poo poo should be banned, or this thread should be closed. For over a month the mods and admins have just been content to try and let the “I’m just asking questions” brigade stop a good thing and it’s infuriating to watch.

i think it's very disingenuous of the plinkey critics to frame his gambling as if he's embezzling the good fund when it's extremely obvious to anyone with even a small brain that he has to hide the money in gambling losses to stop from owing taxes on it. i dont want my donations going to drones instead of food for goons and i appreciate him shouldering the burden of keeping unkkkle sam's hands off the goon bucks.


that said i would like to see a little more oversight to make sure that if any of the goons getting help are overly fat he isn't just buying them more pizza. i do have serious concerns about his judgment in this area.

it's actually good to have a tight scope on what your project is trying to accomplish and i think this thread did a perfectly good job of that.

dorks and nerds (liberals) across the world feel a deep need to turn every altruistic program into a charity with committees and fundraising and titles etc because their brains are so thoroughly broken by capitalism that even when they try to create a structure that alleviates the suffering caused by it, they can't help but replicate the structures that create the suffering in the first place. they have no other frame of reference to create a program.

literally every charity in the world has a board packed to the gills with people with "business experience" and focuses on fundraising and efficiency and oversight to make sure nobody gets one over on the charity. it costs huge amounts of time and resources and is absolutely completely insane. they just can't see it from any other perspective.


this never appeared to me to be a project that was aspiring to liberate people from capitalism, and it doesn't require oversight and a board and audits and fundraising drives and forms and papers etc. what's wrong with a simple straightforward agreement that lets one person hand out money to people who ask? why does it have to be a full on GOON PROJECT? who really cares if a bunch of people have a $5 auto patreon payment they've forgotten about and some sub-optimal percentage of funds is getting distributed, or the response time isn't immediate? why the push for the committee oversight on the take-a-penny-leave-a-penny tray?

because people think it would be funny to break it and be able to say "hey remember when a gambling addict stole $3000 a month from cspam? lol. lmao."

they don't actually give a gently caress about whether or not the money was stolen and the majority of them didn't bother helping with the now clearly reputable official 501c goon fund

it's not being stolen if it's being funded by no-strings-attached patreon subscriptions? are you the kind of person that hands a homeless person a sandwich instead of money because you're worried they'll spend it wrong?

to be fair that is objectively funny and i also love content. i judge those people less than the lunatics that decided they needed to set up a 4 person committee to distribute their initial sub-$2k in donations by vote

Let me make sure I'm understanding what you're saying here. It doesn't matter what the thread OP does with the money because it's just a no strings attached patreon donation? Even if he's putting it straight into his personal bank account and not sending out a dime, he's not stealing it from your perspective?

when i give someone money that asks for it i do not follow them around to make sure they spend it wisely. it's a waste of my time and resources and at the end of the day it's their problem not mine.

nobody should be subscribing to a collective pizza fund with any amount of money that matters to them. i and most people waste money on far far dumber things than this sort of patreon fund and the whole point of it is that if you subscribe to it you don't have to spend another second of your life thinking about that money? that's plinkey's job?

i donated for a while and then stopped because i wanted to cut back my patreon stuff and forgot about it. that's literally the only sane way to approach this sort of project?
