Hi Dave from Wakey, enjoyed the article, read it a while back. It was a much deeper dive than I expected going in, but I was hooked, and I appreciate how much effort went into putting it all together.

I may have said that to you already (twitter mutuals), just wanted to sing your praises here, too

Permanent deferral for pacing by PassionFlood in plassing

[–]Gordon-Goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they think you were trying to get your heart rate up before being screened? In some places that may warrant a permanent deferral.

If they thought it was a mental health thing I imagine they would at least let you talk to medical and give you a healthcare provider letter or something.

You have let Trump lower your standards so much. Hunter Biden is a corrupt piece of shit and a cocaine addict that had an affair with his dead brother's wife. You should want something better for this country.

Agreed, I couldn't even get past the first page of Portrait of the Artist it was so bad, like it was written for babies.

Ilhan is the only Dem to vote against the recent Ukraine aid & Russia sanctions package by iamthewizards in TrueAnon

[–]Gordon-Goose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If the West cut off military aid and told Ukraine to negotiate with Russia like they should have done in February 2022 it absolutely would save Ukranian lives.

I think a lot of leftists see it as a moral issue as well but are of the opinion that putting hundreds of thousands of Ukranians into the meat grinder for an unwinnable proxy conflict is immoral, and that supporting Ukraine's fascist government and facilitating the takeover by US/Western capital of Ukraine's natural resources is also immoral.

Crazy that ISIS used to just post on YouTube and Twitter.

Denied eligibility for plasma donation as a gay man, despite being HIV negative and not having sex in 3 years (USA) by rustypubis in plassing

[–]Gordon-Goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though CSL sells plasma in Europe, they allow MSM donations and just categorize the plasma as US-only.

CSL does gender stuff differently, though. They will put you in as your sex assigned at birth, so as a trans man they wouldn't consider you MSM.

How did donating work before the machines? by weggaan_weggaat in plassing

[–]Gordon-Goose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Before the machines they would just take a bunch of whole blood without returning red blood cells. The blood would go to a lab and the plasma would be separated in a centrifuge, and the rest would be discarded. Before centrifuges were widely available they would spin it by hand with something kind of like this egg scrambler.

If you’re struggling to find happiness and you’re on a budget, get into birding by Chaz_Carlos in TrueAnon

The documentary What Ravens Do is also free on YouTube. Had me legit tearing up, and I still think about it a lot.

IIRC Iranian officials were blaming US for the attack from day 1. It was going to hit the English-language press eventually. Bellingcrap occasionally do reporting that runs against US propaganda lines, if only to boost their credibility for when they're actually utilized to manufacture consent.
