There’s a supermarket nearby that has a ‘quiet hour’ every day, mostly aimed at neurodivergent customers. I try to go at that time, it’s a much less stressful experience.

Do you care to elaborate?

I’ve tried getting into both a few times, to the point of noticing some benefits, but I fall off the wagon bc everything I read about it quickly goes into religious territory.

If you use it frequently, and have money to spare for that (after maybe considering other projects that may better align with you personally), yes.

I donate a small amount every year. Before now, I had not given much thought about its internal politics or whether they really need it to stay afloat (my contribution is too small to make a difference anyway).

To me, it’s more of a way of being thankful for having ad-free content with a good enough material.
