Yeah I don’t know what happened there, I guess trying to indent the paragraphs made it a weird text box or something. I just edited it, hopefully it’s readable now.

This community has really been a life saver for me allowing me to get food for myself and my son when in a precarious situation. I’ve also given back to other users when I’ve had the means to do so.

It makes me sad to think that somebody would take advantage of the kindness of other users here; that said, it seems like this person is openly struggling with mental health and addiction issues and I have enough first hand and second hand experience with those things myself to know how giving thousands of dollars lump sum to somebody in the middle of it is going to go. I guess I don’t have much useful advice to give here, I just wanted to comment to add another voice in agreement with the other users that this comm is such an important resource and I hope that this incident doesn’t scare people off of donating altogether. Seems like it’d be hard to implement more security without making it harder to donate or receive donations. It’s probably a good idea to check post history before giving and decide for yourself whether giving money to any individual person is the kind of help they really need.

Definitely just go into a hospital, I have been through it myself and it’s so much better to do it with the meds they give you at the hospital, cold turkey can result in seizures and even death in the worst case .

I think the “over 1 million” here by OP is referring just to the battle of Stalingrad alone.

His dad was from Poland.

I don’t like the idea of having to sell my bodily fluids because otherwise I couldn’t afford to eat, it made my just rage a little extra hard at how fucked up the whole system is. I guess I can’t say I have many complaints about the actual extraction process, they made it about as painless as you could hope for. You sit there for like an hour scrolling hexbear or whatever while the machine takes your blood out, spins it around to separate out the plasma and puts the rest of it back into you.

I’ve done it before but only when really desperate, I don’t really like doing it and I never did it more than like once a month, even though you’re allowed to do 2 times a week

I think it’s a legality thing, if it weren’t illegal I’m sure there would be places buying the whole blood too.

I will take a referral, I’ve been trying to get some supplemental income since my work cut back my hours. Thanks!

Hopefully for real this time!

I’m actually surprised it took so long for somebody to give this response lol

Not everything is a conspiracy

China is conspiring to get the USA’s population addicted to drugs

You’re aware that you’re the one pushing a conspiracy theory over the simpler explanation of the media operating along its normal and well known biases?

Excellent points, and definitely aligns with my own thoughts, I just figured with how much the media hounds on this being a border issue that they’re probably also lying about it in the first place / the stuff is being manufactured here to begin with.

Ah I never knew that, thanks for filling me in.

Why Sao Paulo? Was he traveling when he had the stroke?

China used to run school for revolutionaries from around the world, and they should do that again tbh

Like tasty food mushrooms or magic mushrooms

Definitely not paying to read somebody complain about woke, also, shame he isn’t as cool as his dad

What’s the correct usage, apart from referring to actual cargo cults in the pacific islands?
