    That’s actually super interesting. When I was typing out my first post, my main thought was “man it’d actually be pretty silly to ship around cases of empty bottles”. But having blanks ready to be blown into more custom molds owned by the different manufacturers would certainly be a way around it.

    My issue with the demands to have apple allow iMessage on other platforms is that then we could get stuck with the expectation of catering to those users.

    There already are encrypted messengers like signal, telegram, or even WhatsApp. Why aren’t people pushing at Apple users to make that switch themselves



  • You’re not wrong. I am most certainly projecting how I believe I might behave given the situation. And I do agree with the idea that once you give something, it’s not up to you to decide how it’s used. Like the article is pointing out, these biases are frighteningly common that funds will be used in negative ways (drugs/alcohol).

    I am, however, trying to paint a more “accurate” picture for how most people would be charitably giving/receiving (small denominations, namely). Would that change in amount be significant in how it is then utilized.
