Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.

If you're a publisher that hates modders on the other hand...

Looks like patients that receive hemodialysis treatment have lower pfas levels, so that actually might be viable!

I know pfas levels are immediately lower after the donation. I'm not under the impression that pfas levels stay low for very long i.e. long enough to safely donate blood again.

Plasma donations can be done more frequently, though, so that might be actually effective way to reduce contamination.

But, it's kind of messed up that we're donating contaminated blood and/or plasma. Is that good for the people that use our blood? Who knows!

Modderkill River wouldn't be as bad I guess.

There are other ways to lower the amount of plastic in you. If you donate your blood you can measurably lower your pfas levels. Really just removing blood which carries plastic through your whole body will also lower your concentration of plastics.

I'm pretty sure regular blood letting is actually not great for you either.

No, it'll go the way of carbon emissions i.e. the world “knowing” the problem but not taking action except for useless emissions targets that we blow past constantly.

But not all labor is getting removed, and they won't really try to do so. Deportations are basically at the same level as they were under Biden iirc, the difference is that we now have spectacle in our media.

It's fundamentally just terrorism.

Yup, learned that when I was a pesticide handler for one of these operations. Pretty fucked up that they fly these lead gas planes over our crops, huh?

Right, but Trump thinks it's magic. I suspect he saw a demonstration of the material by some construction company (he is a real estate guy) and it blew his mind.

And now we get asbestos brake pads.

Labor discipline. By terrifying migrant workers it allows employers to treat them even worse and pay them even less.

You ever notice how every other animal manages to survive without water bottles? It was like that for most of human existence, before we figured out water skins and wooden cups and clay jugs.
