I love donating blood and do it as often as I can.
But with 2 kids in daycare it’s so often that my appointment comes and I’m some form of under the weather.
I’ve learned to just re-book in those cases, as if you say “no” to their questionnaire they don’t like you rebook for 3 months. So perhaps they should revisit their policy on that at least? No reason why having to take an Advil for a headache once should mean not donating for 3 months.
Fully agreed that the sports betting ads are out of control and need to be toned down / regulated.
But the REAL problem I have is with how - in just one year or so - gambling has invaded all sports broadcast. The intermission panels are talking about odds, live odds appear during the game, talking heads mentioning how much X dollars could would make if placed on team Y to win right now etc etc.
Even if you try to avoid the commercials, that content gets to you. And if you have a gambling problem, do you just accept that you can’t watch sports at all without risk of being exposed to that?
We treat all other addictive properties with heavy regulation about exposure to the general public. Gambling should be no exception.
That’s really cool!
Love the little bar graphs filling up
Preach.
I’m honestly still using Reddit but mostly just lurking now, and really prefer Lemmy / kbin due to how completely awful the official app is (using Apollo now just makes me sad).
So I love participating here and plan to do so more and more! Whereas with Reddit, I can see myself opening that up less and less.
We’ll likely always be smaller, but we can be big enough while being better - and that would be fine by me.
Not stiff enough, I’d say. And honestly, steel wool breaks into small pieces pretty easily too.
