it's incredibly fucked up that i could change the lives of like a dozen people if i gave this money away. someone posted a gofundme on here awhile back and i donated $400 anonymously and it maybe lowkey changed their lives and i didn't feel the loss at all. that's retarded

i literally have no idea how to relate to that at all. it gets tied up with all this bullshit i soaked up from the effective altruists about the "best" way to donate money. i have no idea what to do with it other than to keep staying alive myself

yes people often roughly know what someone else might be expected to earn given their age, job, living quarters, etc but a second typical rule is to not to talk about money except with people you know well whose reaction you can probably predict
