Man, that gorilla needs to work on his stance. He’s swinging like an schoolgirl.

I just imagine the most emaciated wastelander actively bleeding out and barely limping along but stopping to just, like, take in the awe of the moment, man.

I naively applied to only one university, a private institution that I was accepted into surprisingly enough. The downside being that it was absurdly expensive, and I only realized halfway through my first year there that my loan payments were going to be impossible to make. I did have a plan originally, but it was contingent on academic excellence that was probably unrealistic.

I’ve never been happier I dropped out of my CS classes

Thought Slime goes by Mildred…

But they’re kind of self-aware, so I think it’s supposed to make them more off-putting.

Fun fact: Redbox is operated by Chicken Soup for the Soul. I almost got hired by them but they screwed me over after I had already resigned from my previous position.

For whole blood, I’ve only ever been given a t-shirt. For plasma alone though, it was purely dependent on your weight and, therefore, how much they can take from you in the one session. I’m a tiny dude who barely weighed enough to qualify and got about $80 a couple years ago. It’s honestly not worth it at all, but if you’re broke it’s easier than many other options. The place was full of the “undesirables” of society because of that. It drained me emotionally, seeing how blatantly exploitative it is.

Edit to add: these plasma donations can be done with a tighter window between them too, so the people who were always short on cash were in there every 2 weeks.

Edit again: I forgot that that was an introductory deal where they give you an extra $40, so it was actually $40 for me. Overweight patients could get around $70-$80.

Surely this decision will be a net positive for the average American and won’t be used as part of a malicious scheme to widen the wealth gap. /s

The power dynamic is ever present. Can a person detained by a law enforcement officer consent to sex with that officer?

Charlotte, NC has a long history of racism and played a huge role in the civil rights movement, so the location plays a large part in why this is such a big deal.

This honestly sounds like it could be the basis for a novella

Damn, TIL you can come across these locations on accident just exploring. I thought that place was weird to be randomly floating out there with no real good loot. 😂

I’m replaying Starfield, and on my second playthrough, I’m noticing the depth they put into this game. Sometimes a single dialogue line you said days ago will have an effect on NPC attitudes through an entire side story. I’m not going to argue that it’s not a regurgitation of their lame formula they’ve milked for the past 15+ years, but they do need to reevaluate where their money/dev time goes to.
