  • You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma

    Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.

    It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.

    When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.

    If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.

    Plasma “donation” is a good thing.


  • I had to look up what the summoner’s tale was. I can say this from memory.

    "Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,

    The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,

    And bathed every veyne in swich licóur

    Of which vertú engendred is the flour;

    Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth

    Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

    The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

    Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,

    And smale foweles maken melodye,

    That slepen al the nyght with open ye,

    So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,

    Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,

    And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,

    To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

    And specially, from every shires ende

    Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,

    The hooly blisful martir for to seke,

    That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke."





  • “Can you pass me the bag of plastic blocks?”

    Not

    “Can you pass me the bag of Legos”

    If you wanted a box of adhesive bandages. You’d say “Can you pass me the box of band-aids?” or a tissue, “Can you pass me a kleenex?”

    Companies do not want their brand to become generic trademarks.

    It’s not because Lego is already pural

    “I have many Lego blocks”

    Not

    “I have many Lego”













  • Even if it’s not simply fact, you have to take into account people who want to abuse the system.

    I’m male. How much do I have to change to be considered female?

    After getting X amount of estrogen?

    In things like running or swimming, breasts are a complete disadvantage. Am I required to get a certain cup size?

    I could be decent in Tennis as a male. But if I started playing females tomorrow I’d be one of the best. Just how the sport works. No amount of training is going to get a female to serve and return the ball as hard as I can (Which isn’t even top male speed).

    How many days from today until I can play females?

    What if I didn’t want to subject my body to hormones just to be considered the gender I feel like I already am? That should be my choice.

    You’re basically saying that I need to do enough “damage” to my body to be considered female.
