I donated blood for many years, starting the first day I was allowed (mom took me). I’ve been an organ donor from the day I was able and am loud about that. And for a few months after college I sold plasma for money. It definitely felt scummy, but I think it’s ultimately a good thing, though it is selling part of your body to a for profit company at a rate that’s pretty bad. So the cons are really that it definitely feels seedier than whole blood donation and that the phlebotomists are worse. I can’t donate blood anymore because they gave me a track mark and I can’t risk my other elbow’s veinous access.
But it got me through a rough time
Just remember to steal some stationary as well.
Chinese communism seems very much to be born of a fusion of USSR and Chinese imperial styles. But one important thing to remember about communist revolutions between 1918 and the 1990s is that the USSR played a major role in a lot of them. This is where you see such things as the betrayal in Catalonia and massive splits in western leftism as Marxist-Leninists and Maoists had backing and anarchists didn’t.
It’s an authoritarian thing. A lot of the rebels against the USSR were communists (most notably the red navy’s rebellion at Kronstadt). It’s a shame that communism has become synonymous to much of the world with the authoritarianism of some of its’ factions.
Ok but that’s infrastructure and we don’t pay for that (for real though we need to upgrade our outdated catenaries)
Ok I know when people say gay like that they mean gay male, but D.E.B.S. is one of the greatest queer movies ever made and is a romcom between two women. But it like many other classic queer movies wasn’t a major studio or anything
Because we’re a social species that often checks ourselves off of those around us. Sometimes it’s unhealthy, but often it’s an attempt to maintain tribe status and to safeguard against misperception.
First aid specifically aimed at the sorts of injuries that one risks by protesting.
Not exactly but my wife’s background in protest medicine is one of the first things that drew me to her

King James. His persecution of women caused centuries of problems
Python isn’t named after an animal it’s named after a comedy troupe, which is a group of animals
I agree but it’s also an important thing to remember when asking sensical questions. Something that responds nonsense to nonsense means it’s prioritizing an answer that sounds right over an answer that is right.
Yeah I’ve told someone to grep something despite knowing they had a windows server
sighs and speeds it up sure whatever vp,
The speed of the conveyor belt does not impact the cycle time. No you cannot fucking slow down the conveyor belt to make it so you can work slower. You can’t speed it up to make people work faster. The speed of the fucking conveyor belt determines how long the things stay on the fucking conveyor belt. If it’s too slow things just stack up on it
Sorry, fucking line workers, managers, and executives in a factory…
As an American authority is hated and enforced. Our culture is highly competitive and authority focuses aren’t above it.
That sounds really nice. As an American I try to live like that but it often is difficult in our culture
Something like $100/week for two draws. But it was like 6 years ago in Kentucky
