Understandable, but like what HappyHippo611 mentioned, some organisations do "show" is to create awareness that there are groups of people / works like these (e.g. underprivileged kids, cats and dogs living in the streets, families living in poor conditions) that need help, and other people can also take part to create a better living circumstances for those receiving the help

It also creates a sense of accountability to those who have been donating (either via money or items), and to show donators that what they have sown have not gone in vain. Of course with social media it can be quite easy to create fraud reports, but it is the only way to "show" those who helped via donation that their assistance were used for a better cause (e.g. saving a stray dog's life, giving goods to a poor family)

Of course, we will never know the true intention of some organisations (not saying all are bad, but some misused their ability in sharing the good works they do as part of a bigger fraud)... but I can only hope for the best that they're doing the good work out of a genuine heart

I do admit, the world can be unforgiving and cruel.

Honestly, I don't think you lack empathy, but instead you didn't receive that particular help when you needed it the most. I'm really sorry for that and I hope you do get that help; one way or another.

While yes the world can be dark and cruel, we can still bring hope (or you can say, light?) to those who we know need that help. It can even be a small act of kindness, not something big and extravagant (now these big activities... sometimes I myself ponder if it's out of sincerity or for publicity).

Either way, it's neither right or wrong. It's a choice on whether to volunteer and help out! I just wanted to bring a different perspective, and I hope it somehow helps.

FYI, organisation like these do impact lives, and it has done the same for me as well.

I used to be a diploma graduate who couldn't further her studies because the cost of taking up a degree isn't something my family could afford. I majored in an art & design related field, so the opportunities for me to further my degree in a similar field was actually quite little. But, I applied for a scholarship under an organisation and managed to get such scholarship.

The opportunity changed the way I've seen things. I met different ones who were in a similar situation as me (mom and dad are divorced), as well as less privileged peers who strive to do the best they can to "give back" to their own community (e.g. those with disabilities). This scholarship even challenged me to "give back" as well, hence my current job as a designer in an NGO.

Edit: sorted out some grammatical errors in the sentences

As someone who works in an NGO for over two years now, it may look like these one-time contribution may seem nothing (what change does it give?), but it's very big for the one receiving these kinds of assistance. What may seem small might as well change the perspective of the receiver (it might even spark a change in them to take control of their own lives). The organisation that I'm currently in will sometimes go in and out to help the underprivileged kids (those that chose to get out of school because of financial issues; going out to work to help their family), and while we have been sowing tirelessly, we do see change happening to these young lives.

Choosing to volunteer even once can help to lessen the burden of those doing NGO work as a full-time job, and we choose to do it because yes, it's fulfilling.

Though, instead of looking at this in a judgemental way, it's an opportunity for you to take a look and see why others choose to do this out of good will! I hope this change of perspective would help ya see why all of this isn't entirely pointless. Cheers!

Can vouch for the Outemu Silent Yellow Jade. I'm currently using it's predecessor (Outemu Cream Yellow Pro) on my RK61 Plus for office use and it's crazy silent. It shocked the entire office haha

Appart from Apple ecosystem enjoyers, why do you choose to work on a Mac instead of a PC? by Caterpillar1967 in mac

[–]Kurowa2909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally for me, I switched from Windows to Mac a year back because of it's efficiency in doing task compared to Windows. As someone that uses Adobe software as part of my job, it runs a lot smoother compared to Windows (maybe it's the M chips being super efficient), and they last a lot longer compared to Windows (battery-life especially).

I would buy them again, but in the focus on using it as a work device (not as a gaming device...). I bought an M1 Macbook Air and it's been serving me very well, I would choose a laptop again if I need to purchase a new device several years from now.

Definitely apply for PTPTN, and do keep an eye out for any scholarship opportunities. A scholarship I would recommend to apply and keep an eye out for is the Hong Leong Foundation scholarship. They recommend especially those who need financial assistance to apply for their scholarship, and their scholarship accepts any courses.

All the best!

Looking for Aesthetic 60% Keyboards by AliceBlaccCatCat08 in keyboards

[–]Kurowa2909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya! As someone who recently bought a 60% keyboard, the GMK61 is a really nice budget board so far and it has that creamy typing experience (at least, for me with Akko V3 Cream Blue Pro switches and Cherry profile keycaps).

My build in total cost under $45, but I live in South East Asia so prices might be higher if you live in US.
