Muscle tremors... could be because you're low on magnesium. I guess. As for that eyelid twitching, it might just be from overworking your eyes too much.
Look, I’m posting this here because I know there are actual professionals in this thread, so I guess I was indirectly addressing you guys when I said that
Look, it’s not like I don't realize there aren't complications... but I just want to hear an official opinion on this... (don't ask me why)... Like, roughly what percentage of transfusions end up having some kind of complication versus the percentage when you're doing an organ transplant?
one more thing, and it’s probably a pretty stupid question... how much higher is the risk when you're talking about organ transplants? I mean, give me some actual numbers—like, how many times more likely are the complications?
yeah, I get that the risk of organ rejection and all that stuff is way higher, but I want to hear the official word... just as a final question. 🙂
how much of a risk are we actually talking about with those diseases? and when people say that, are they referring to random unknown stuff and parasites... or are they talking about things like hepatitis, HIV, and that kind of thing?
Look, I’m not coming at this from a religious angle or anything, but I’m trying to find some solid medical arguments against blood transfusions. I’m not JS (nor am I an advocate), but I’ve heard enough "info" from them suggesting that a transfusion carries way more risk than benefit. Specifically, I watched one of those "documentaries" they push that makes methods like autologous transfusions look great—you know, using meds to boost your red blood cell count before surgery, or donating your own blood ahead of time so you can just recycle it during the procedure.
But what I really want to know is: where are the flaws in those methods? And what about things like car accidents? In what percentage of cases—where it's not even an emergency—could those alternative methods actually work, versus how often is it just a matter of needing to save a life right now?
Just to be clear, I’m all for whatever method saves a life; I’m just looking for a professional opinion here.
I’ve got three buddies telling me this is some kind of genius investment... I don't buy it. I'll stick to my kneeling chair; it actually does wonders for my lower back if you actually follow the damn instructions
It’s basically just a nasty cough, or what people call "donkey cough"... I mean, I guess it’s fine if you’re older, but for the little kids? It’s really not great.

Maybe we should just open an import business instead. You see how well that works in this country. We can just hire people on minimum wage to do exactly what they do in those massive retail centers.
Regardless, I would never trade my job. It’s the best job in the world to me. My only issue is that I still rely on my parents for help because this paycheck barely covers my extra expenses.
I mean, I agree, but I’m gonna hold my horses until I actually have all the facts before I start throwing things around... Hopefully we get them soon ☕
Megan White4 said:And what exactly makes that such a burning question for you?
Because if we're actually going to wrap our heads around this situation, we need to know a few things first: - how many exams you've sat for over the last year - which university we're even talking about - how many exams you have left to go
Megan White4 said:You know what the issue is? Parents like that typically dismiss any reaction or feedback from their children as them "not knowing anything"... and then they act genuinely surprised when the kids start pushing back because of all that suffocating, overprotective behavior.
Take my own situation: I constantly tell my mother to stop backseat driving while I'm behind the wheel (with her "helpful" advice acting like I have zero clue how to drive, even though I have a perfectly valid driver's license in the US), but she ignores me every single time. She’s convinced she knows better than I do, so she just restarts the lecture from square one... and then acts shocked when I react the way I do. Honestly, if you keep telling someone "no" and they keep saying "yes," you can't really be surprised when things get tense.
Yeah... and you want to know why she's complaining? Because deep down, she knows you aren't actually going to wreck the car or tell her you're done driving forever... you're just gonna bark back at her just like she does to you... and that means you've basically sunk to her level, where she feels right at home...
Anyway, I honestly don't care about all that. I just want to know what your major is and how many exams you have left to pass.
darkhawk30 says: Seriously, what is wrong with you people??? Well, maybe not everyone, but some of you. Stop looking for excuses and start looking for solutions. Excuses might sound good in the moment, but they don't actually work, at least not in the long run. I basically raised myself and taught myself everything I know, all while my mother didn't even notice when I graduated. Honestly, she just spent her time nagging me, putting me down, and criticizing everything. It felt like I was never quite good enough for her, no matter what I did. So, I figured the only thing left to do was be good enough—for myself. If you think life hasn't thrown obstacles my way, you're kidding yourself. But honestly, those hurdles just gave me more drive. In my field, I started doing things that nobody else had ever attempted, and unfortunately, even now, very few people do them—even though they know my work is solid and they literally pay me to do it for them. But every single time I hit a wall, I look for a way over it. Excuses are just for a quick breather, but I always know the difference between an excuse and an actual solution. If I had stayed the person my mother tried to force me to be (she wasn't being malicious, just... well, you know), I’d be bitter, angry, and totally useless today. Right now, I'm working on a new project that's unlike anything else in this industry. Huuurrraaa! Way to go, me! Come on, find some solutions. Enough whining!
