     @RustyCrab @Inginsub @cassidyclown I donated a few dollars to Wikipedia many, many years ago and I still regret it.

     @Inginsub @RustyCrab @cassidyclown @bot Their 2022 report is here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/2/26/Wikimedia_Foundation_FY2021-2022_Audit_Report.pdf
     
     I don't know how to tell what the C-staff get paid, but I do see that their budget for salary in 2021 was ~$68M, and in 2022 it was ~$88M. Quite a jump.

     @Inginsub @RustyCrab @bot @cassidyclown Also remember how they were bragging around 15 years ago that they only had something like 25 employees.
     
     They currently claim to have 282 employees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikimedia_Foundation#Staff
     
     The CEO salary on that page ($200,000) is from 2012, and I suspect there's a reason they haven't updated it.

     @cassidyclown leech bites generally don't even hurt because they inject anesthetics first, and the damage is usually minimal afterwards

     @Inginsub honestly they don't seem that bad just pull them off what's the big deal. In the game they affect your "sanity" but just stop being a baby lol. (Except for the ones that produce massive amounts of anticoagulant and make you bleed out or whatever).

     @Inginsub playing a game set in the amazon and it keeps making me pull leeches off myself when I haven't been walking in water. These are not native to south america, why is it giving me leeches all the time :niggaheyface:

     @i @Inginsub @cassidyclown Can confirm that you feel leech bites. Not horribly painful but if you get one in between the toes it stings. Far more painful is a bad mosquito bite where the proboscis doesn't go in properly from clothing obstruction. That's horsefly tier pain.
