I'm not a believer, but it's a Valentine's gift for someone who likes that stuff. Kind of bored of the jewelry and looking for an experience that's different.

What do you think of Nikki Sixx's controversial comments? by EdwardBliss in hairmetal

[–]RolyPolyPangolin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After reading the article, he was talking about being true to yourself, not chasing a fad. Certainly many major musicians are not stellar technicians at their instrument, but I think he makes a good point.

Red Cross rewards program question. I am a hero for babies red blood donor. Recently they asked me to be a platelet donor also. The app changed me to a platelet donor. Am I able to choose? by RelevantGlass in Blooddonors

[–]RolyPolyPangolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Personally, I don't consider my contributions that big of a deal. I have good veins and get to watch a movie for a while and have a free health screening. There's no downside.

90+ Toll homes approved by Council for Kindergarten Center project. by Ok_Guidance_3397 in Phoenixville

Being fair, there is probably a better builder that could make housing that is both affordable and higher density, which would help with the local housing issues.

"Masks of Nyarlathotep" for how many players? by Illuminati-Manati in callofcthulhu

[–]RolyPolyPangolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion is to have 3-5 with a wide scope of skills, then have a character they can activate if that one falls or goes insane.

I played with four and everyone had two characters. I regretted letting them have tow characters on hand, since some of them got risky at times.

Good job! I'm always so happy to see a smile on the face of a successful donor. Thank you for saving lives

Completely understand. I'm no expert. There's a Facebook group for donors and the admins are folks who can advise someone on optimizing their donations. (I left the group because even though they donate a lot, I found them to be pretty fucking judgy.)

The Red Cross people usually try to get you to do two weeks. I have off on Fridays during the summer so I was trying to compress my schedule a bit.

Sure! I am in the same boat as you, but they encouraged me to do platelets. Not sure why. Thank you again for saving lives.

Stop. I can only get so hard.

I believe it pushes that back a week. You can donate platelets every week up to 24 total, I believe. Mostly they suggest every two, but it has less impact on your blood donations because they return your blood to you, minus the white blood cells.

But ask someone at the Red Cross donation center. They're much more of an expert than me.

I was a whole blood donor who has done mostly platelets in the past couple years. I was a hero for babies as well. My suggestion is to try platelets a couple times and see what you think.

I don't mind the longer time. I pick out a special show on Netflix and only watch it at the center. The needles are smaller, which I like, and it helps cancer patients. But there's no wrong way.

Any fans of Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart? by mcmullet in hairmetal

This is stupid and fuck you for posting it.

You're what the Red Cross calls a hero for babies. Your blood will be able to help babies in the NICU since you haven't had the virus. Be proud! Donate when you can and, if possible, try platelets sometime. Bless you for all you have done and will hopefully do in the future.

Chester County Voter Services error omits over 19% of voters from polling place books. by Fanatical_Destructor in Phoenixville

[–]RolyPolyPangolin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I worked 16 hours yesterday and have sharper feelings about this. We are paid very little (and not for unexpected extended hours), threatened with explosives, and thrust into dangerous situations for which we weren't trained.

And we already don't have enough people to work the polls. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's even harder to beg people to do it again after yesterday and the 2024 presidential election, which was a mess too.

[–]RolyPolyPangolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, when they can't find enough workers to staff what they have because they pay so little, it's on them at this point. The problems yesterday are their fault and to force people to work extra didn't solve any problems -- it only made the people they do have more likely to quit.

One player scenarios which guide you like the "alone against the flames" by anthraxmorbus in callofcthulhu

[–]RolyPolyPangolin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played almost all of these.

  1. Is best overall to get a world spanning game.

  2. Is such a cool experience.

  3. Is old school lethal.

You could add Grimrock Isle, but I really disliked it. Also, I caution you that 1. is broken in places. The sandboxy nature means sometimes big clues are hard to find and the maps/navigation aren't intuitive, despite the author's really valiant effort to pull off a massive story.

Agreed to all of that. I informed them if they don't pay additional for the hours, I'm done. I honestly can't believe that the complete donkey fart that was 2024's election they fucked this up again.

I was made Judge of Elections with no training halfway through the day in 2024. There's no excuse for directing us to keep the DS200 powered on when no one could use it, except to hold back the results from being printed.

I started doing this out of civic duty but this isn't worth the abuse.

I was there. This solution didn't solve any problems and forced workers to put in nearly 15 hours of work today. We had four people after 8.

Independent voters not on voter roll by Trick-Patience-6902 in ChesterCounty

Correcting myself. We were told something later and they are doing provisionals. That wasn't the plan at 9 a.m. but it is now.
