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.

The room you sit in, the phlebotomist, the pathogen screening, and product transport to it's end use all cost money. I can see how me giving blood free isn't free to the recipient.
That said I can give at my health system employer and get the afternoon off.
Guess what room I sit in that costs me money.
My basement!
This is the way. Afternoon off is $$$ to me.
Not to try to sound rude, but from the perspective of someone who would like to donate blood more often, i don't care what costs they have.
It's not my responsibility to make sure hospitals have blood, it's the government.
There are ways our country can pay for these things and for my time and bodily fluids.
Wanting to be compensated for your time and selling part of your body is a reasonable thing to expect when time is money.
You're defending yourself with great energy when no one is attacking you. Touch grass, take a moment.

I am giving an honest critique of US blood banks. Hospitals in other countries don't have to depend on the random generosity of strangers to function.
Since what I said provoked you enough that you HAD to leave another comment. Maybe you need to Touch grass
