@cavyherd @nathans that's not to say that i encourage donating on checkout, btw. for one you don't get the choice of which charity to support and have no time to research the charity in question. also doing a donation directly gives you receipts you may use to get tax benefits yourself.
i also think it's generally preferable when money goes to charity (except maybe the really horrible ones) instead of the government, but i guess that's controversial 🤷.
