    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.

      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?

      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.
