Definitely do report them. I’ve already banned a bunch of these and will continue to do so. We are reliant on reports, however, since we don’t have eyes everywhere. :)

Das klingt erstaunlich gut, hätte ich gar nicht erwartet. Frage mich, wie es in Pflegeheimen aussieht - vermutlich schlechter. Hab es neben den Patties und Suppen noch was anderes Warmes?

Sure, buddy. How’s that copium? Delusional c-suites

grrr socialism 👊🏻

I use Kubuntu on my Surface Go because it got way too warm under Windows. It’d work fine most of the time but I just got unhealthily warm to the point it’d get too hot to touch under very minor workload. My SO’s father, who’s been a huge proponent of Linux for decades now, suggested I give it a try and it’s been great. Some minor functionality restrictions but nothing I can’t work around. The touchscreen and the stylus work - that’s all I need for school

Sadly, I used to not have the luxury of donating plasma for the sake of it but at times required it to pay for bills and groceries. It’s a little better right now, but it’s still not ideal.

I’m sure there are others like me who can definitely use the money. It’s a noble idea that people would donate for the sake of it, but it’s unlikely and plain unrealistic that people are altruistic enough to do so. It’s fine to incentivise them for it in my books.

The company behind the facility uses the plasma to produce drugs and probably gain way more from the single donation than the donor does in terms of money. The least they can do is pay people for their donations. I’ve had a pretty big discussion on this topic around a year ago or so where people from the US, for example, chimed in and said that they’d get more than 100$ per donation. Insane compared to the 25€ we get here. So even these 25€ that are frowned on by some are nothing for how much blood plasma is actually worth.

It’s awesome that you’re in a position where you’re not “forced” to donate anything for money, but the reality is that there are loads of people who rely on that additional income and use the opportunity where possible.

Here in Germany at the facility I donate at, you need to wait two full days before you can donate again because your body needs the time to regenerate. While the toll on your body is smaller compared to a blood donation, your body still is at work to regenerate what’s missing now. It’s not a precaution that’s put there willy nilly

Quasi. Zum Glück grad heim gekommen, läuft auf schlafen hinaus

Danki dito :)

Wiiie? Ich sterbe schon mit 6

Ne, einfach nur sehr spät ins Bett, weil ich vergessen hab, dass es hier doch um 8 in Präsenz losging und nicht um 11 online. Plus meine Freundin musste noch ein recht langes klärendes Telefonat führen, das bis um 2 Uhr ging oder so (: Konnte aber noch bisschen zocken, also nicht so schlimm :D

Heute ist mein Tag tatsächlich relativ kurz - bin jetzt schon durch. Muss jetzt nur noch ne Stunde heim fahren und dann schau ich mal. Aber Tendenz nein :D

lacht nervös in 3h Schlaf
