    “She’s hot, but really ought to keep it on the DL for me to enjoy and no one else to see because think of the children”.

    What a weird little humble brag while also putting down your girlfriend and blaming her for broader society’s behavior. If she’s not lying, advocating for unhealthy habits or trends, encouraging parasocial relationships, or spreading misinformation, she’s not the problem.

    They’d get less plasma. Putting the non-plasma portion back in what enables people to donate/sell plasma a couple times a week versus ~monthly or less if donating whole blood.

    Also, we finally have the vampire bat population under control. We can’t be feeding them that much blood, their strength will return and we’ll be right back to the dark vampiric ages.

    Like the others I’ve only seen pay for blood plasma, not whole blood. Whole blood gets you a cookie, sometimes a sticker or a T-shirt, or once I got a $15 gift card but I’m pretty sure that was from the company sponsoring the charity blood drive and not the Red Cross who was collecting the blood.

    And pay for plasma isn’t a lot, like $30 a donation, 1-2 donations per week. You get more working a single shift at a fast food restaurant. Plasma also takes longer to donate than whole blood because you have to sit there while the plasma is separated out and the remainder pumped back into you.

    So the answer is: not rich at all.








  • Someone spilled to me that a person I don’t particularly like is being investigated by HR for things that correlate to the reasons I don’t like them. While I’m satisfied he may finally be held accountable, I’m irritated it’s taken this long and that I have to know it us in process. Waiting for the outcome. Waiting for them to possibly decide to do nothing. I didn’t ask for this secret and I don’t want to hold it.
