Post 323721 by watercarrier deleted for the following reason: Hey there, I'm sorry things are looking so rough right now. This is too broad for AskMe as framed, but drop us a line at the contact form in the next hour or so and we can talk about editing. -- LobsterMitten

I really do care. And so does my company. And maybe so do you (?). - donation charitabledonation howtohelp

Post 323679 by alleycat01 deleted for the following reason: Heya, no worries about the intent here and I think from chatting about it earlier I may not have framed out clearly enough what I think would vs. wouldn't work for this as an Ask; let's talk some more over email about it. -- cortex

Depression and assholes - joysuckers

Post 323271 by generic230 deleted for the following reason: Heya, I'm sorry you're in this situation, and glad to hear you're in a good place with your own depression. I think this will strike some readers in a bad way right now, if they're struggling themselves, and that's not your fault but also not something we want to take a chance on. -- LobsterMitten

Post 322673 by KatNips deleted for the following reason: Heya, the core question here is fine but tacking on a preemptive complaint about hypocrisy etc. is just gonna kinda doom the question for no good reason. Drop us a line at the contact form if you want to talk about editing some of that out and bringing this back up, or just plan to post a rewrite in a day or two. -- cortex

Racism *is* North America's Mental Health Program - mixed-race whiteprivilege mulatto

Post 322586 by human ecologist deleted for the following reason: Heya, I'm sorry you're having to deal with bullshit racism in your family and asking about resources or strategies for that is fine, but there's a ton of not-question stuff in here that doesn't fit Ask as it's intended to be used. Go ahead and regroup on this and trim it down to the core question stuff and give it another go tomorrow maybe. -- cortex

Post 322118 by Transl3y deleted for the following reason: Heya, this is kinda loose and chatty "so I have an idea..." framing for Ask; probably better to do some research first and then if there's some more specific questions you have based on that to bring them over here vs. just brainstorming. -- cortex

The Problematic Words of Rich White Dudes - transhumanism donaldtrump jeffbezos

Post 321824 by 0bvious deleted for the following reason: Not that rich white dudes haven't said a hell of a lot of problematic shit recently and otherwise, but it's not really clear why this is an Ask. If you've got something more specific you're looking to do besides just sort of round this stuff up, that needs to be clearer in the framing of the question. -- cortex
