    Yeah I get that - my local hospital's blood donation program keeps the blood for patients rather than selling it for research, i switched to donating there so that the people who are already getting fucked over by our shitass healthcare system don't end up dying from lack of blood. I'm O neg so i get hounded for my blood a lot. and if i'm dead idrc if someone makes a profit putting my kidneys in another person to save their life, at least they went to good use.

      random question, have you ever had an ulcer? and what is your diet like?

        No, but it seems like it's only a matter of time considering how bad my acid reflex can get. Diet's super inconsistent but decent rn. How come?

          Yeah that’s a hella specific question and now I’m curious what kind of cool crank shit they’re going to reply with.
