Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I think muricans get paid. In Australia you basically get drinks and snacks too.
Americans get paid for selling plasma. I've done and am banned from two places because my veins suck to draw from apparently.
If you want to learn some messed up practices look at blood donation/sales and prison In the United States.
Unfortunately, I am American. I donated whole blood last week and received a $40 gift card, snacks and drinks! I think plasma donations pay up to $100 some places.
I’m not sure I have an explanation why, but getting paid for my blood makes it seem dirtier somehow lol
I'd pay for your bodily fluid any day ;)
You get paid because they're selling the plasma to companies who make retail products with it.
I agree with that for the plasma but the whole blood donation goes to the hospitals. The organization I donated for is a local non-profit that supplies the hospitals in my area!
Oh yeah, I donate whole blood too. There are legit places that are collecting blood in order to save lives.
But the plasma places are basically milking people to make cosmetics.
I think we get paid for plasma, but not regular blood. I could be wrong, I can't stand the needles so I've never given
I think you might be right. I have only ever given whole blood, so I can’t confirm 100% on the paid plasma either.
