Good Deed thread a day early, a/c needed for animal triage.

I don't make a thread each time I donate. These are my main causes for the week and usually a need that is URGENT in nature.

I donate usually a few times a day. If you count throwing bucks or pocket change into a march of dimes or other box, it could be several times a day.

With 6 pets and a nursing mom/kitten inside and a feral cat colony on my property I am at the pet stores usually 3 times a week or more. Each time I make a donation there as well.

Why are you so bitter about this? What's missing from your life?

He falls into the category of those whom facebook and social media actually make their life worse. Social media serves as a constant reminder to some people how terrible their life is, people usually post about how great their day is, how much they love their family, how much they donate, and there are some people who maybe don't have as much to be happy about. Those people who feel they have less in their life feel that social media is constantly pointing out their deficiencies, but really it is their own lack of self esteem and self confidence that makes them perceive anybody who posts about themselves or a good deed as an attack against them personally.

Be kind to these people, don't attack them, their life is already shitty enough without you attacking them. That's not to say you shouldn't post about your good deeds, but realize that there will be trolls that come in here taking your good deeds as a personal attack against their shitty lives. Show them the generosity and compassion you show animals and ignore these people. Attacking them back only makes their situation worse.
 
You have trolled each one of these posts I have made.

Don't worry about ever checking my 'math', I am beyond the need of it. I will also rarely recommend anything that most of the money doesn't go directly to the item/cause. To many 'charities' end up keeping 90% or more of the donations for 'management'.

The bold is a false statement. So I'm not entirely sure you are beyond the need of simple investigative measures to ensure you aren't misleading people.
 
I wonder if we'll ever see an Alkemyst "good deed" thread without him mentioning the $ amount he contributed. I highly doubt we will.

But it's obvious every time he's typing out one of these posts he's thinking to himself "lulz, I'm going to troll ATOT yet again."

how am I trolling?

I just posted up a new one. It's $17.50 for the buy in. You can even add any shelter you want.

piss off.
 
Oh please, stop playing dumb.

umadbro?

I have posted proof I have been donating to these things.

That ain't trollin'.

I am not mad, just calling you an idiot for pissing in something like this that can only help.

However, obviously this really gets your goat for some reason.
 
DAFUQ?

My donations are not for the attention of anyone but the charities.

If that were the case, you would not feel the need to trumpet how much you have donated. In doing so, you've essentially confirmed your own narcissistic and hypocritical tendencies.

Congratulations on giving to a good cause. Too bad you had to brag to try to inflate your own ego.

wow bro. Didn't know $100 donation was bragging rights.

I do know that those it pisses off really have never donated anything but SPARE CHANGE.

My latest post requires a $17.50 donation (or you can donate new covers for $3.95 each).

OH NOES I reported how much!!!!!

I can admit I am a narcissist, I am hardly hypocritical though.

Don't know that I saw anyone in this thread getting pissed off. Just a whole lot of people calling your bullshit. As usual.

Why do you feel the need to post any "proof"?

You're the idiot for not realizing that you posting "proof" or telling us how much you donated causes your "good deed" threads to derail faster than if you had just left out those details.

But maybe you do realize it and know that doing such things will cause a ruckus. Therefore, you are a troll. You post stuff, knowingly to incite trouble.

But nope, you know that doing such things will get ATOT cause a ruckus, so you post those details on purpose. Therefore, you are a troll. You post stuff, knowingly to incite trouble.

Oh contraire. When in the past I didn't qualify my posts fully, people went wild.

Now they are just jelly.

Pretty much anything I post creates a 'ruckus' from your type.

Since you are so focused on this, what do you donate to? How much did that add up to last year?

What's your opinion of my $17.95 donation thread? That bragging too or too beneath your quasi-awesomeness.

I am skipping posting my wants this year for gifts for my wife. I dodged a Rolex again, but this is in the running

that's a brag.
 
this thread is now about how trying to get a simple $250 A/C unit donated to a shelter about to experience high temps and humidity is bragging on the internet.
 
wow, 4 posts by you in a row. You definitely are mad bro.

no, I reply to my threads when I am at my PC.

I get notified.

You are mad. I am working on trying to find a home for my friend's 9 year old dog the HOA is now fining since he is in foreclosure from being out of work at $250 a day.

I am pretty active on email right now and skipped going out to SunFest here to do so.

It's irritating none-the-less, your type and why I recommend we just starve you out.

I can guarantee most that get mad at my postings like this are struggling paycheck to paycheck and doing without and simply get really really angry how someone can give their money away.

I see your types in posts here like that all the time. "The Rich are stupid".

I don't consider myself near rich, but I will give a little for what I have been given. Each dollar more, I can give a little more.

Yeah, I am an abomination.
 
No, that is tacky. I mean, can the brand name be any bigger? 🙄

it's a small watch in reality.

Which of your appliances or car or mattress,etc doesn't have a 'name' on it.

you fail, move along. you are just equating a better brand name as evil to what you can buy.
 
I don't think it really matter how many "good deeds" threads you make in here, you will always be despised by most people and for good reason.

Good reason in a loser's mind.

Don't hate me because I am better than you, hate yourself because you don't pick such low hanging fruit in life.

He's an arse but then again, who isn't?

You surely are an arse too, aren't you?

Now he's posting threads to help people and he himself is giving money, a lot more than most would.

And now people are pissed for that too? Why? Because they don't wanna give and he's making them feel bad?

I don't feel the least bit bad for not giving anything to charity, i pay my taxes and including all forms of help, taxed help or charity there isn't one nation in Europe that isn't giving at least twice as much as the US per GDP and yes, it includes Greece.
 
alkemyst, I've asked, and others have asked, that you put the DATE on these threads. Not only does it help people keep them in order for those who bookmark them to help keep their tax deductions referenced, but also it gives us a time frame from when we can expect the posts in this thread to be aimed at a noble cause, versus just you baiting a bunch of downtrodden poor folk with your blatant trolling.

They'll never understand the rich like we do alkemyst, because they aren't one of us. Leave them be, and pour me a glass of 1869 Château Lafite so I can enjoy my night presiding over the rabble.

I don't agree with you much, but at least you understand all this always.

At the end of the day, all the asses end up on the same turf taken globally.

We give more than any other country in the world. Period. Play statistical games all you like. You can't get away from that cold hard fact. Go back to your basement, troll.
