Adam Sessler hosting X-Play Kevin Pereira hosting AOTS Me, still not into video games but down af to dive into this nostalgia pool. Anyone else watch these shows back in the day? AOTS (and its lead-in X-Play) was my go-to after school routine for awhile there back in high school. I didn't even care about most the stuff they talked about, just liked the hosts and their banter, basically a daytime talkshow/podcast. Still remember one episode with viewer call-ins for like an AMA or something that Kevin was doing and the caller introduces himself by saying "I'm a forum troll,"

Get to the part about the Russians -
If they took your blood and didn't put any fluids back into your body then you...donated blood. Don't take my word for it, this is what you yourself said happened...if they didn't return your blood minus plasma back into you, then you gave them your whole blood, not just the plasma. I hope this clears things up.

I've never donated blood before so I can't compare but yeah it feels weird during the returns. Didn't hurt but just weird and I got very cold at the very end when they returned the final bit+saline, weird sensations all around. All I'm seeing is stories about desperate broke people with HIV lying and donating their plasma for the money and it being caught by the donation facility. The only people at risk of getting HIV here would be the hospital patients receiving the plasma, if the facility hadn't tested it for HIV or however they found out it was bad in these stories. The article I just read had the facility quoted as saying sterile medical equipment is used and disposed of for each patient, so no I don't see how anyone else donating plasma is at risk from someone HIV positive donating before them.

I fell asleep after the QT match, just restarted and watching the rest now. Could be wrong but it looks like Mox pretty clearly recorded this promo on Suzuki before his match/Suzuki's debut tonight since he isn't bleeding from his arm. They couldn't just cut to him live here? Also I have no idea who any of these old japanese guys are. The Punk match was all good, from Darby's skateboard to Punk's hesitation on which exit tunnel to take. When it gets there he has to be the heel vs Bryan Didn't love the lucha bros match but it ended well so that was nice. Blood... Why did Kenny dye his hair black.

Anyway $100 for less than an hour of your time twice a week isn't a bad way to pick up several hundred extra $ You get a little scar on your arm but that's it, and it helps save lives or something, would recommend.

How does it seem risky? They throw away everyone's bloody tubes and such at the end right there in front of you. They also test everyone for HIV beforehand You mean bc of your blood going into the machine and mixing with someone's HIV that's lingering in there and being returned to you? I'm not going to pretend like I know how those machines work, but I'm going to semi-confidently assume my blood isn't sloshing around in there with other people's residual blood and that it isn't a risky way to contract HIV.

You donated blood.

If she's a biological woman who has sex with people who were born male who have recently had (or maybe it's have ever had, I don't remember) sex with other people who were born male, then it's an issue apparently. Those were some of the questions I had to answer anyway during the screening process.

It's really what they do lol. Blood comes out, plasma is remover, red blood cells and blood water goes back in. They take most people's plasma. As long as you don't have Hiv or hepatitis and haven't slept with a guy who sleeps with guys or used a needle for drugs within the last several months, you're good to go as long as your blood is healthy (they do a couple quick tests) and you pass a basic physical. It's easier to sterilize plasma than blood I guess which is why they don't pay for blood donations, bc if they paid for it like they do plasma then they'd be getting worse quality people donating worse quality blood I guess.
-
It's not pleasant but nothing that earns money is. I don't really mind it, just look at my phone the whole time. Not a good long term thing for your health probably to do this regularly, but a good way to stack a little bit extra for a moment. I mostly was annoyed I had to squeeze a foam sponge the whole time to keep the blood pumping, couldn't just like go to sleep
-
They reimburse you for your donated time...and plasma. Ok it is selling plasma but I mean like this is how they get it, so. It's like donating your blood juice. Your blood comes out of your vein dark red, is processed, like 32 oz looking-ish of the yellowish plasma separated, and then your blood is put back into you looking bright crimson bc it's mixed with saline solution that feels cold af. Then they give you $100 on a prepaid card

They're paying a lot right now. $100!

What Are You Thinking About Right Now?
NaBabby replied to DragonSinger's topic in General Discussion
I am always what you are thinking about, i already know this. -
Wish I still had my old ipod with a mid-2000s album of his on it. The one with "Nowhere Texas Town" Good stuff, thinking about those songs takes me back to that time period. RIP flok

I got bit by a dog yesterday

I don't know who that is, but I wish her a happy birthday nonetheless.

Sounds like you're mashing it up with schtick

Chill out, I was just messing with you. I'll put them back later

At this point Vince will probably limp along for a couple years before eventually selling WWE to NBC, who will sooner or later end it as an active promotion altogether and just stream the video library. Only question is if there will even be a WrestleMania 50.

It was always so dramatic too with its long ass name and everything, but always either got killed right away or sacrificed by Yugi himself to summon some better monster. Though sometimes it was to fusion summon a better Mythical Beast, so that was at least somewhat respectable.
