    Staring in the face of late-stage capitalism, the human race tries to find a glimmer of optimism. Can’t afford a real date, find it too hard to connect while sober.

    Saving lives is pretty hot, but its a shame they don’t let you do this if you’re gay or use cannabis.

    Edit: this is getting out of hand, I do not live in the US. Happy for y’all that do! Although, overall I’m pretty glad not to be living there.

    Me suspecting my date is actually an Aedes spp. mosquito:

    “heeeey so how about after this drink we hit the blood bank? You know, just the two of us and a lot, and I do mean a lot, of blood bags? How about that huh?”

    Yeah but that would enable the prolonging of people’s lives. Given how shit life and the world are, I can’t engage or support that; it’d unethical for me force people to stay alive. Y’all do what you think is right, but I see it as needless cruelty.

      Er. You think everyone’s forced to accept donated blood (I’ll agree there’s probably some that would have preferred not, but everyone?)? Or is this a whoooooosh moment
