problem is finding them/taking the time to do it when i have much bigger priorities. I'm a little out of the game so my efficient on this is way off. I'm at like $6 for the day. what is crowdfund.
http://www.gofundme.com/ You get people to pitch in money to support you for a specific goal. "Help dolphin make it through law school" sounds quite important.
Crowdfund is things like indiegogo and kickstarter. But there's another one just for people. Gofund.me?

I don't know the situation because I've been getting screwed over by surveys all day but if you're on the verge of homelessness, there are places you can go to get assistance. A lot of people don't know about it because they've never been in the situation but I got assistance a long time ago when I never thought I would. But like I said, not sure of your situation. Internet is also screwing me tonight so it's been a long haul just getting from page to page.
Then in response, I shall cite from the Usenet treasure of alt.buddha.short.fat.guy at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/alt.buddha.short.fat.guy/8TvYJBnwA3g/c4Ms0VSvtkIJ One can't be naive, I admit. It is important to be 'provocable,' which I think you are pretty good at, Bear. "In his book ['The Evolution of Cooperation'], Axelrod takes pains to spell out answers to three fundamental questions concerning the temporal evolution of cooperation in a world of raw egoism. The first concerns _initial viability_: How can cooperation get started in a world of unconditional defection -- a "primordial sea" swarming with unresponsive ALL-D creatures? The answer (whose proof I omit here) is that invasion by small clusters of conditionally cooperationg organisms, even if they form a tiny minority, is enough to give cooperation a toehold. One cooperator alone will die, but small clusters of cooperators can arrive (via mutation or migration, say) and propagate even in a hostile environment, provided they are defensive, like TIT FOR TAT. Complete pacifists -- Quaker-like programs -- will _not_ survive, however, in this harsh environment. "The second fundamental question concerns _robustness_: What type of strategy does well in unpredictable and shifting environments? We have already seen that the answer to this question is: Any strategy possessing the four fundamental 'personality traits' of niceness, provocability, forgiveness, and clarity. This means that such strategies, once established, will tend to flourish, especially in an ecologically evolving world. "The final question concerns _stability_: Can cooperation protect itself from invasion? Axelrod proved that it can indeed. In fact, there is a gratifying asymmetry to his findings: Although a world of 'meanies' (beings using the inflexible ALL-D strategy) is penetrable by cooperators in clusteres, a world of cooperators is _not_ penetrable by 'meanies,' even if they arrive in clusters of any size. Once cooperation has established itself, it is permanent. As Axelrod puts it, 'The gear wheels of social evolution have a ratchet.'" -- Hofstadter, Douglas R., "Metamagical Themas: Questing for the Essence of Mind and Pattern," (Basic Books) 1985, ISBN 0-465-04540-5, p. 729; see pp. 715-780, esp. 715-734 ["The Prisoner's Dilemma and the Evolution of Cooperation" republished from _Scientific American,_ May 1983].
I would definitely support a dolphin through law school. The only thing I require is that said dolphin goes into court, places a hat on the opposing attorneys head and says "Guess who is in town? FLIPPER *****!" and they flip it off their head. ...ahhh memories of my younger years
Fund Fabio's figurine addiction. There needs to be a gofund.me for silly, nonsensical crap that rich people with deep pockets will donate too cause theyre drunk and have their credit card out. So Im not taking away from people with a legitimate need.
I'm busy after 3:00 pm PT. That's 5:00 pm where you are, right? So noon my time, 2:00 pm your time? Would anyone else like to help us set it up?
4chan.org/b is completely anonymous, they might pitch in some donations. Write your story, maybe put up a timestamped pic (doesn't need to show your face). But you'd have to tell them your paypal email. Maybe you could do Bitcoin instead.
http://www.gofundme.com/ takes a haircut of 7.9% from donations. It's probably worth it for access to a wider pool of crowdsourced donations, but not for access to people you already know who are willing to hand you a check.
