Electrochemistry [Easy: Success]
My SO keeps telling me that liking salt & vinegar chips is the piss kink of snacky foods. I don't like that comparison :c
Logic [Easy: Success]: It's probably just a scammer trying to phish for your personal information. Don't accept the request.
Empathy [Medium: Success]: It might also be a very lonely person, trying to find some companionship in the wide, wide internet. Accept the request, who knows - maybe they'll surprise you?
Half Light [Challenging: Success]: Oh god, could they have seen the couch in your profile picture? OH FUCK, NO NO NO!
Honestly, as long as you're still having fun and enjoying game, I don't see an issue here. Sure, in some areas it might have gotten difficult, but if you're able to adjust
Those people are cracked tho
Sadly, I used to not have the luxury of donating plasma for the sake of it but at times required it to pay for bills and groceries. It's a little better right now, but it's still not ideal.
I'm sure there are others like me who can definitely use the money. It's a noble idea that people would donate for the sake of it, but it's unlikely and plain unrealistic that people are altruistic enough to do so. It's fine to incentivise them for it in my books.
The company behind the facility uses the plasma to produce drugs and probably gain way more from the single donation than the donor does in terms of money. The least they can do is pay people for their donations. I've had a pretty big discussion on this topic around a year ago or so where people from the US, for example, chimed in and said that they'd get more than 100$ per donation. Insane compared to the 25€ we get here. So even these 25€ that are frowned on by some are nothing for how much blood plasma is actually worth.
It's awesome that you're in a position where you're not "forced" to donate anything for money, but the reality is that there are loads of people who rely on that additional income and use the opportunity where possible.
Here in Germany at the facility I donate at, you need to wait two full days before you can donate again because your body needs the time to regenerate. While the toll on your body is smaller compared to a blood donation, your body still is at work to regenerate what's missing now. It's not a precaution that's put there willy nilly

The most recent one had to do with a drug I took in Disco Elysium - wanted to see if it actually exists.
Not sure about the second most recent anymore.
In university, I had learned about proto-indoeuropean and wanted to see if there's a common language ancestor for African language. Turns out there are several origin languages.
And the last two have to do with my SLP apprenticeship. Both are concepts learned about in voice therapy and the latter is also a concept learned about with singers
Are they well? What are your plans for them? Are they being looked for by friends or family?
