I'd like a question asking what percentage of income do you donate to charity, if any, and which charities, if any?

Charity is ambiguous. Donating to a favourite webcomic artist doesn't qualify as 'charity' I assume? Does donating to LessWrong? Perhaps just "what percentage of income do you donate".

I'd like to see "consequentialism" expanded into utilitarianism and non-utilitarian consequentialism

Not, I really wouldn't like that at all. I'm a consequentialist but have no idea whether I qualify for a "utilitarian" or not. Consequentialism, Deontology, Virtue Ethics are the big three categories, which are roughly well understood.

If you have separate options for utilitarian and non-utilitarian, I wouldn't know how to respond.

Does buying someone a drink or a dinner count as donating? Even if they bought me one the last time?
