Blood or plasma? I donate blood when I can because I want to, and it takes a few minutes.

Plasma takes about an hour because the process is more intense and way more uncomfortable

I try to treat myself to a sandwich or something after, then pass out. It really makes me tired, so I do it after my 9-5. Weirdly, to your point, you think of the food your craving after and how much of your fluid is cost lol

I do it, and it gets me the money I need to pay bills. If you can zone out, donate, and bounce it's not the worst thing you can do for money.

I just get a bit angry when I think about too hard. The other comment is correct, the sign up bonuses are decent,.and I currently use the same donation center

I believe it's both. There is a "shortage" which I take is just one more step towards the country falling completely apart due to inept greed: https://www.aha.org/news/headline/2024-12-04-fda-says-empty-iv-bag-shortage-expected-last-through-march

But I also know that it's cheaper to give people a sports drink and crackers, and people will accept it, because they need the money

Yes crackers sorry

Yes to absorb its power

calling social media and echo chamber while being in an echo chamber is nice cognitive dissonance.

Thank you so much it's greatly appreciated 🙏

Yeah, that's orks

Can I vent here? I am going to vent...I have been involved with a year long fight to get custody of my children that has cost me literally every penny I have had saved while the other side has basically infinite money...

and, some days, it is hard to get over the fact that you are not meant to interact with the American legal system unless you are wealthy. It hurts so bad that everything that you need to actually get a judge to listen to you costs untold thousands of dollars...and then there is more money on top of that just to get that evidence in court. And I just found out that this report that I paid a ton of money for (which has put me right back to asking for help in mutual aid) contains falsified information of things I never did or never said...but it is now a legal document, and if I want to fight that it will be thousands more dollars to even create a shred of reasonable doubt of the words of this expert.

The bit take away here is, if you are not wealthly, never, under any circumstance, engage with the legal system.

Thank you so much, and also thanks for the help!

No it doesn't
