saving lives is hot

I'm O- so I give two units of red cells and get saline and the plasma/antibodies back. The guy at the donation site says "make sure you don't drink any alcoholic beverages for 24 hours...but you can have one if you want." He looks back to see if his manager is around and then whispers "you can have two but don't leave the house."

Quick way of finding out if your date has any STIs.

People are so weird in their obsession with alcohol and getting drunk…

...getting black out is cute?

The last time I gave blood they wiggled the needle in my vein and gave me the wickedest bruise of my life.

I actually did this in my early 20s. Girlfriend at the time got super drunk super fast so I had to stay sober to drive us home.

Me suspecting my date is actually an Aedes spp. mosquito:

"heeeey so how about after this drink we hit the blood bank? You know, just the two of us and a lot, and I do mean a lot, of blood bags? How about that huh?"

The whole time I donate I think about the person who pays for it on the other end.

Staring in the face of late-stage capitalism, the human race tries to find a glimmer of optimism. Can’t afford a real date, find it too hard to connect while sober.

Saving lives is pretty hot, but its a shame they don't let you do this if you're gay or use cannabis.

Edit: this is getting out of hand, I do not live in the US. Happy for y'all that do! Although, overall I'm pretty glad not to be living there.

This is how Uni kids get drunk on $4 in 1995.

Cool single idea: donate twice as much blood. Drink all the wine coolers yourself.

if you're going this far to get wrecked, just do heroin

Or cold if its 40 below

Yeah but that would enable the prolonging of people's lives. Given how shit life and the world are, I can't engage or support that; it'd unethical for me force people to stay alive. Y'all do what you think is right, but I see it as needless cruelty.
