Why should non-profits not want to "rake in tons of cash" if it helps advance the mission of the non-profit?

The "essay" (for me) read more like a rant about the author's opinions regarding hypothetical situations and how, in many people's views, a successful non-profit spends money. Sure, maybe WMF could spend less but the table looked reasonable. I've donated before and I'm sure I will again because I use Wikipedia all the time. I am going to spend more time learning about the organization and its spending, but as of reading the linked material, I'm unmoved.

Also, I get that 789k is a lot of money. Really more than anyone needs but it's hardly an absurd amount given the norms for CEO pay. Yes, CEO pay is ridiculous but so is the entire economy, speaking as a US citizen. I would have guessed higher and many non-profit CEOs make much more than 789k. Plenty of people, with less responsibility and impact, make more than that so that pay is not really a WMF specific point.

I commented on someone who seemed to think that millennials wasn't the correct generation because millennials must have grown up watching Seinfeld. Many did, but many didn't. I know many people around my age that didn't watch it so it's fairly safe to assume that people who were 2-4 years old when the show ended might not have seen it, even re-runs. Remembering it and watching it enough to have an opinion on it are two different things.

The years for Millennials go up to 94-96, Seinfeld finished in 98. I doubt many that young would have seen it. I was born in 86 and I barely watched Seinfeld re-runs.

But she didn't drown, she was blasted by something from the creature.

Eh, no one will spend the time to zoom in that much, you're safe.

This looks amazing. I've been looking for restaurants that have these but am coming up short. Some places have pictures of them but nothing on current menus. Hoping I find somewhere. (US, Seattle area)

That makes sense, I just hadn't seen a single post. In a comment above it was stated that posts criticizing the bot are removed, which is possibly why I haven't seen any.

That's really sketchy. Thanks for sharing.
