I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they'd throw 'em out. They're selling 'em for $3.

You're viewing a single thread.
Why are you donating things you expect to be thrown out? You're just costing a charitable organization money. But fuck the salvation army.
Salvation army fed me when I was living on the streets, and they treated me with kindness and respect, that's all I know.
I mean that's good for you. But you really might want to look into other things they've done.
Nah, I'm good, just happy to be alive.
Only if you're straight.
Elaborate
They told me I would need to renounce my homosexuality or else they wouldn't provide me with any services. Fuck the Salvation Army.
"I can't, Jesus is too sexy and I find myself wondering which hole would be the most fun. I'm thinking probably the left hand."
And then Jesus came.
Because of your dirty, dirrrrty sins!
"Come to Daddy"
How did they know you were gay?
The people who took care of me were genuinely of God. I suppose YMMV depending if you live in a sane country or not. We do live in the single most atheist country on the planet though, so I guess it's not globally representative...
No, they didn't. No one believes you.
We do believe them + who asked.
You must believe every bullshit sob story.
I spent January and February of 2020 in a state park living in a two man summer tent that I had used twenty years prior and stowed away in the attic in the weird case I would ever become homeless. I was very proud of myself when I discovered that, good thinking. It didn't do much against the half meter snow, but I did get to see a beaver. Have you seen a beaver?
Underneath the thin facade of being a charitable organization, they're really a disgusting Protestant sect of Christianity who loath homosexuality and have a fair share of controversies. There's a few listed on Wikipedia if you want a starting point: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salvation_Army#Controversies
While they have acted shady pertaining to American labor legislation, they operate globally and they do not deny aid to those in need. There isn't a checklist of criteria you have to meet in order for the Salvation Army to help you.
He's just as hateful as he'd like you to beleive they are.
They use money donated to them to hurt gay people. Fuck em.
I fucked a transvestite once. Still got fed.
TBH it would be pretty fun to play Russian roulette with this stuff for just three dollars.
This time is going to be some rare audio compilation, some interesting program or a ransomware that bricks my computer?
99% of the time the label is a lie and it's filled with porn.
Yes.. I remember finding my dad’s CD labeled “Need for Speed Most Wanted” when I was 5. Taught me a valuable lesson.
Thats his own fault, should have labeled it "Taxes 2008" or something that a kid wouldn't care to check out.
I answered that elsewhere, so lemme just cut/paste:
Fair question: I saw they already had a partial spindle of mixed disks for sale. Just the one though, so I couldn't be sure it wasn't a fluke. Turns out it wasn't.
The spindles weren't the only thing I donated, just so we're clear. I just mixed them in with the rest of boxes of stuff, some of it pretty good. Someone can now snag an OG release copy of Bioshock 2 or Doom 3 for a song. Oh, and the entire Half Life Collection.
Donate, then rat them out to one of those piracy groups that apparently pay you to snitch lmao
Why are you mad at the salvation army?
As a religious organisation, they are allowed to hire based on characteristics that you usually aren't allowed to discriminate with. They've repeatedly supported legislation that would allow them to refuse to hire LGBT people.
Across several countries, they've campaigned against the right for homosexual sex, marriages, inclusion in media.
They refused a $3.5m contract from the San Francisco city gov because it would've included giving the same domestic benefits to same-sex couples.
They said they'd leave New York if they were forced to offer the same domestic benefits to same-sex couples.
They campaigned against UK local councils including gay people in media like leaflets and the like.
High ups in The Salvation Army has said if you support gay rights you shouldn't donate to them.
They're extremely transphobic too, of course.
They did a bunch of child sexual abuse in Australia.
In the UK they own a lot of property that poor people stay in, and the conditions have been so bad that it was unlawful.
For the most part it's just that they're homophobic as fuck.
Didn't they also fund a genocide campaign in Uganda?
That was Chik-fil-a.
Chic-fil-ation Army.
...THE PLOT THICKENS
Fellation army you say?
Probably things like homophobia.
People can simultaneously entertain good and bad positions on things.
They refuse huge sums of money if some of it has to be spent to help gays.
To me, that means they care more about hurting gays than helping people.
I think they care more about helping people than hurting gays. I also think that they really like to hurt gays.
