My charities are in my neighbourhood, like your friendly spiderman.

Like cooking for the less fortunate, giving kids my abandoned PC stuff, building together their new rig, supplying food packets to fams in need, like with the "to good to go" program here in the Netherlands. Supplying local food banks.

I have been homeless for a long time and now I share what I consider a very fat bank account. I certainly knew how to share when I had nothing, makes one humble, makes one appreciate rain on the window, or a shower whenever you want one. I got served a patato soup and a glass of port after eating nothing walking around hungry for days by a guy who had himself nothing, engraved in my mind.

We got all we need now and then some... Why not see a problem at close and solve it right there. I am surely not giving Bob Geldof any money, fuck that guy.

It's an odd world where building a gaming PC is now considered charity

Heheh...Yeah, I never said gaming PC, the last build was a Linux machine with a RX470 and i5 4460 for an autistic boy who is into programming and tinkering with Linux distributions. Also needed it for school work. Thrown out by his parents, lonely, assisted living in a small room, so we got him a coffee machine, water cooker and microwave, and when he is here I always cook him a good meal. Thin as a leaf, eats two plates full, smears my herb butter on both sides of the bread.

He is a good friend of my son who is also autistic.

The build before was a Ryzen 5 with a GTX 1060 and an old Wacom tablet for a girl who can really paint great manga type art, her old PC took 20 minutes to start, which I fixed and gave to the guy I mentioned before. Her dad died, mom doesn't have much, again pc needed for school work.
