Title: Stand with Ukraine Humble Bundle

ITT: Brag about how much you've donated and what a great person you are.

I just donated £69.69, which at the time of my donation placed me at #59 on the leaderboard. I'm sure that won't last.

More seriously: there's some good games to be had, so go and have them.

I'm at #4 on the leaderboard for now. I wonder how long that will last.

I've been ousted (unsurprisingly), and you're holding at #33 right now

Pretty sure my country has already donated a shitload of tax money to them so I’m good.

The Russians will just seize the money when they eventually take over the capitol.

I’ve also been a huge proponent of having strong deterrence against Russia in Europe for the longest time for situations exactly like this. Europe has been in lala land, cutting their military budgets and relying on the US and the UK for their defense needs so they can move that funding to comfy social programs. Donating a few bucks when the enemy is already breaking down your door just seems kind of silly to me, that’s all.

So, a lot of this is perfectly true and valid, but I don't suppose you happen to have a time machine to do anything about it?

I just think your money would be better spent in your own country rather than sending it to a lost cause. We’re probably in for another Cold War, this time possibly against China as well. We should probably try to be in the best economic situation possible.

It is perhaps worth pointing out that these donations are not going to the Ukrainian government or army.

This. And if it is a lost cause then the humanitarian aid will be all the more necessary.

You thought wrong, but there's already a thread all about you lot repeatedly stating that. Keep it contained to one place.
