Yes.

We’re all just blasted by nuance apparently

That would be a better and more helpful question. Again, I think they are backing that liability truck up to an anonymous loading dock in New Jersey

donating blood is NOT donating plasma.

blood is probably more valuable, especially if you’re near something crazy, like a war or natural disaster. blood is so valuable it’s insane

plasma, also super valuable, not so immediately helpful to people dying in a war zone

i was literally just asking about mosquito bites what the fuck

all the fucking idiots had to do was forget

no one actually cares about your junk

the fucking morons are reminding us we should fight for human rights

perhaps you’ve never met someone who was desperate? never been broke and tried to feed a hungry child?

shit’s crazy. there’s an entire micro economy around plasma. whatever is going on in your life, don’t pretend

out of all the stupid things to not get and persist in misunderstanding

i assume you’ve never donated plasma

Haemophilia

yeah that would be bad. I have known people who relied on this as like a “checkup” on their own “risky” behavior.

it’s not like it’s cool to rely on this as an HIV check, but it comes with a ton of unnecessary and inappropriate judgment

to correct myself

Mosquito-borne diseases or mosquito-borne illnesses are diseases caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. Nearly 700 million people contract mosquito-borne illnesses each year, resulting in more than a million deaths.[1]

Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes include malaria, dengue, West Nile virus, chikungunya, yellow fever,[2] filariasis, tularemia, dirofilariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Saint Louis encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis,[3] Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Ross River fever, Barmah Forest fever, La Crosse encephalitis, and Zika fever,[3] as well as newly detected Keystone virus and Rift Valley fever. A preprint by Australian research group argues that Mycobacterium ulcerans, the causative pathogen of Buruli ulcer is also transmitted by mosquitoes.[4]

i am very fortunate to not have to deal with any of that

yeah but you’re not hearing my question. literally no one is going to say sorry, can’t donate, got a mosquito bite

edit i don’t live somewhere that mosquitos are known for transmitting illness, like zika, malaria, whatever else

the 12-hour clock used in the u.s. has fucked me and my head many times. i set my alarm to 8’o’clock, woke at 8 p.m., saw the sun in the horizon, and set off for class. by the time i got to class it was almost dark and i thought maybe the real shit had dialed in and the sun wasn’t ever coming back.

Between fruit and beans, an entire family can turn it up

Literally a true story. Big Jesus dying everywhere but also super hot White Bearded Jesus’ face everywhere. They sell this shit I every single fucking store all across America

Apple’s shitty software isn’t the problem. Literally everything online is collected. Why wouldn’t they? How much do you think this comment costs outside the fediverse? And fuck Apple, too you’re right

Can’t deny that, but not all the alumneses are evil. I probably would have applied there, recent events obliterating everything

Democracy not a thing for ol batman?

Steve Jobs a fascist? Like Vichy collaborator and Nazi spy Coco Chanel?

Edit not defending Steve jobs over here

Which of the holes there do I insert the chopsticks

Also this is top tier, whence it came?

The whole Twitter > x thing has never made any sense. Musk misunderstood what he was signing and accidentally lost an uncountable fortune to buy a social media company and turn it from trash to the shit that skinny raccoons would turn down. Seems to be going well though.
