once in college my friend asked me to come along on a date she wasn’t comfortable with because she knew that I would step in and ruin the mood on purpose if she gave me the signal that she wanted out
I came along, it was awkward, she gave the signal, and I immediately dumped a glass of ice water over my head and said “oh no looks like you have to drive me home immediately to prevent hypothermia” but then she and her bad date thought this was so startling and funny that it broke the tension and got them talking. and then I had to sit around for the rest of their date dripping water and shivering because she decided she was enjoying herself.
in case anyone is curious about how clicks on arab.org generate money, or what that even looks like, they are very transparent on their website about their numbers. they have quarterly reports done every year, and for the last quarter in 2023, the public generated 570,859 clicks, which translates into about $380.57 U.S dollars. the first quarter update for 2024 has not been uploaded yet, but it should soon.
but this is why it is so important if you do not have your own money to donate that you do your clicks. despite over half a million clicks, that generated less than $400 USD for donation. adsense does not make a lot of money, but it is STILL money to be made and donated through your clicks. the fourth quarter of 2023 was the LARGEST click amount since the site's creation, so let's do our best to keep those clicks going and increase that number!
I think the fast paced society we live in currently has brainwashed me into thinking i can upgrade myself and my life just as fast as when i restart my computer or phone. I have forgotten the natural cycles of life… how the moon takes her time to be full or how the crops take their time to grow their fruits.
