I’d go to the warehouse store and load up on non-pershable food items my family uses for no more than $1000, then donate the rest to Wikipedia so I never have to see Jimmy Wales’ face again when I’m looking up tin pest, Rob McElhenny, or Regulate (my most recent three Wikipedia pages in my history).
I love the sentiment! Food banks/pantries are such a good way to directly help people in need.
But… I had heard that it’s usually better to give cash to food banks/pantries rather than food, that way they can buy what they need generally* at better prices than we can get. But I’m not directly involved in food banks/pantries, so please correct me if I’m wrong.
Of course, if you can get mega deals on real food* with coupons or whatever, then of course that’s better.
**I’d also heard that food pantries get so much cranberry sauce donated during November, but cranberry sauce is nutritionally deficient, and that if you donate food, make sure it’s real food.

I used to be friends with a youtuber who made guide videos for a popular game. (I’m being intentionally vague.) He liked to end his videos with a certain type of clip specific to the game but was having trouble getting the clip. I’d been playing with him for a bit during this time and managed to get the clip he was looking for. After he failed to get the shot he wanted for a bit longer, he asked if I wouldn’t mind him taking my clip and pasting his name over mine. I said of course. Once every few years I watch that video and smile.
I was on an intramural soccer team with Jessica Biel. (I never did work up the courage to say more than two words to her. I get starstruck hard and easily.)
