I gave over $300 to LibreOffice, Gimp, Krita, Inkscape. It feels painful. No one likes losing money. I do it anyway.

I write letters to lawmakers. Actual physical letters that I print. It requires patience and effort. I do it anyway.

I register to vote. It feels painful. Honestly, I'd rather stay home. I do it anyway.

NO PAIN = NO GAIN

Any meaningful change requires some pain. Posting on Lemmy is extremely easy. But it's not very effective. If you feel pain, you are changing the world.

Streets4All endorsed many amazing candidates in Los Angeles.

When you give money to open source software, you will feel ~~pain~~ Love and compassion.

ftfy lol. you editing makes my comment look stupid. Thanks for that.

But for real, voting is one of the few things people can do to improve society directly. Also, its not really that painful unless your allergic to the sun.
