Not heard of it since.
Which is good I suppose because it would have to be something horrific enough to push Russia-Ukraine or Israel-Hamas out of the media.
How is it nowadays? Getting better/worse/nowhere?

I think it’s fine to pay some for it.
I don’t know how your healthcare system is structured. But let’s assume there is a profit motive in getting you to donate blood. Let’s also assume profit is a problem. So we want to reduce profits.
If you get €25 per donation that is €25 less profit for them per donation.
The demand for blood is going to stay the same. No one will decline a live saving surgery because it’s a bit expensive and will pay anything to get it. Increasing supply will decrease profit margins.
I don’t care about any particular artist enough to require a huge amount so you’d mostly be paying me for the inconvenience of remembering to follow through for 50 or so years.
We’re looking at something like one annual salary because anything less won’t make enough of a difference to bother with the effort for half a century.
Du har ringt fel nummer.
Biting my nails. By cutting them short. If they grow long I eventually bite them off.
Exactly how are you supposed to check that a company you own shares in does what it’s supposed to? You’re not allowed into the factory. You’re not allowed to see any reports other than what they already publish.
You have to take the word of the management.
You’ve got the wrong idea about what the shareholders prioritize. They got sued by the shareholders for lying about being committed to safety and instead maximizing short term profits.

Not much. You can’t spend enough of their money before they stop your spending and start collecting it.
How much credit can you get without a high income or a lot of assets? Hopefully much smaller than your mortgage (which is that the 2008 crisis was about).
Exactly what happens depends on law where you live. Here you’d get a court order: First confiscation of cash or cash equivalents. Second sale of assets, in the end your pay would be garnished. Since not everyone is forced to sell their house (like 2008) the price drop would be smaller but spread across the entire economy.
Unless you’re willing to illegally work without a contract and only take cash payments they will get their money back.
Anyone who did not participate in it would have a good time buying cheap stuff in the forced sale.
I did half a backflip once.
I was wearing a helm and got away with a concussion that kept me home for a week.
I don’t want kids so that narrows down the dating pool to something more like a dating puddle.
I generally keep to myself. Every social skill I have comes from deliberate practice.
I did manage to find a girl. What I did:
Figure out what my strengths are and in what situations I get to show them. I get compliments on having a pleasant voice. So anywhere I’ll talk some is good.
Work on mitigating your weaknesses.
Work on being a {pick one or more: fun/pleasant/useful/positive/etc} person to be around.
What I did not tell you is how long I had to do this.
Given the opportunity move somewhere where your rent to pay ratio is better.
I’d make more living in a big city. I have much more leftover every month by living in a small town far away from everything.
Am I the only one who can’t think of anything like this?
Avoid them when you can. Clear, minimal, a bit more polite than you would like to be when you can’t. If it’s work related focus on your common goal.
I’d also advise you to take some time to reflect on what makes them dislike you. If you find a lot of people who dislike you for similar reasons you may have to evaluate if you should (and can) change.
Attitude: I generally don’t care unless they try to tell me what to do based on their religion. This is generally never a problem, I’ve had more vegans and environmentalists bother me.
Getting along: we have some high faith denomination of Christianity here. I’ve worked with a few and generally don’t notice unless they drop something heavy on their foot and don’t swear.
Thought of believing: not since I was 12 or something.
Do not like faiths: I acknowledge they can create a sense of community and belonging. I have a dim view of the dogma that tends to come with them.
Shutdown -P now in the wrong terminal window and a server at the other side of the country went down.
Electrical work and blacked out the entire 500m level in the mine.
No, I’m not.
As for social acceptance I like my personal space. Don’t care what you do as long as I can opt out.
Exercise diligence when putting your shoes on, pay special attention to the laces or you will suffer great sorrow.
Turns out you can make up any arbitrary distinctions and they just start existing. The question is if they severe any useful purpose.
I can make zodiac 2.0 exist by adding shoe size to distinguish between regular aquarius and aquarius without platypus (above EU 42 is with). So now the Zodiac 2.0 exists with the same predictive power as 1.0.
If I had to change it I’d increase it.
The average late teenager is not suitable to have a say. And half of them are below average in that sense.
I’d like to tie it to actually being a tax payer, you pay you get a say in how your hard earned money is spent. But that would throw people who can’t work under the bus.
