Yeah! Brandon is innocent!

Wow, that was unexpectedly and appreciably fast. If franchises can’t support their own farming systems, chance’s are fault lies at the team’s front office.

There’s likely more truth to the term “meathead” then we give it credit for.

Harsh, but fair.

BYOC - Bring your own chlorine.

What the fucking fuck.

I need this in my life. That, and a 3D printer.

You know I never assumed her to be gay. I thought it possible but never really bothered to find out. I guess because it didn’t register as being important?

I wouldn’t expect him to win but I feel like he still could be in the list.

Hmm, maybe it’s different by region. Supplies have been low in the northeast as of late. Also outside of the occasional ice storm we don’t get a lot in the way of disasters so we only really know them for blood donation.

I’m not saying zero, I’m just saying measurably more than 50%. (I was there too.) The photographer’s bias is clear though. That probably is a better answer to the original question.

They may spend it on services but not necessarily services you support or agree with. They’re not even a charity, they are a fundamentalist church that does charitable work. Your money might help a natural disaster victim. Or it may go to market against gay rights.

The included screenshots don’t have enough gamma to do it justice.

... Someone has to start making a men’s clothing line based off of these styles! Preferably one that didn’t require your first born to pay for. It would be nice for guys to have some actual options.

Not sure why the gif isn’t animating, but now I actually prefer just the still as a nod to the joke.

Unfortunately (fortunately?) it’s not a moral issue, rather a monetary one. Red Cross and the like operate on a non-profit budget. At a certain point adding more blood screening becomes not viable financially to perform, so they limit what they consider high risk factors rather than pay more per unit.

I’m a supporter of the Red Cross but damn if you aren’t entirely correct with the phone calls. They are ruthless. I decided to take a few months off once because I was sick off and on but they were relentless. Eventually I got them to put me on a quarterly calling plan, which helped a little. Doesn’t seem like it’s…

Red Cross technically sells the blood to the hospital, but not at a profit. Just to cover operational costs. They’re essentially an indirectly funded branch.

When the tell you to drink a lot of fluids the 24 hours before hand, they’re not kidding. It makes a world of difference. You can also ask them to elevate your feet preemptively. If you don’t want to go that far, if you do start to feel off, don’t wait until you’re sure of it before telling a nurse. Often just…

Just gave double reds last week. Nurses fight over me. I want to think it’s because I’m charming but deep down I know all they really want is my veins. :P
