I lose my phone all the time and it is always a whole damned assed adventure. But I’m not deaf or anything, just a vapid space cadet.

Did you get yelled at a lot when you were a kid? (Honest question no bullshit)

Nobody is afraid of the earth. People are afraid of what we are unnaturally doing to it. And the potential wars, famine, and nation state collapses that it will drive in our lifetimes.

No big deal, really. /s

yup. Going through this now with my wife. Ill likely be the one to give up a kidney but dont think we are a match.

Especially if Florida gets hit with a hurricane. Thankfully that is rare.

Can we build a wall?

Edit: and Florida will pay for it!

Yes and no. Have you seen what happens to rats and cockroaches when it floods? They come into your house.

Let’s be real, that one might be for the best

2 steals and then it's yours for good right?

Even better I believe there is a system that can set up circular trades, so if the circumstance occurs where donor A wants to donate to recipient A but is incompatible, donor A instead donates to recipient B who also has an incompatible donor, & if B's donor is incompatible with recipient A, they donate to recipient C, and so on and so forth until donor F or whatever is compatible with recipient A and so completes the loop.

The system is even better in that an altruistic donor with no specific recipient can help not just one person, but potentially unlock chain of donations helping change the lives of multiple recipients.

I heard a podcast about it a couple of years ago... unfortunately I can't remember which it was, but if it comes to me I'll post it here.

edit: Ah, found it - it was Freakonomics: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/make-me-a-match-2/ ...it was also not a couple of years ago, but 7 years ago, almost to the day, which makes me feel ollllllllld 😭

they breed to keep the species alive and from going extinct

My mom works with the homeless and when I see an actual homeless person, I give them the business’ contact info. They have food, clothes, haircuts, showers, etc.

I’m from Arkansas where panhandling is legal, so unfortunately you have to get good at identifying the actually homeless from the people sitting on a yeti cooler at the interstate exit with Yeezys on.

It's not outlandish odd. If you take all the places on Earth that are called luck, then multiply by the total populous in each instance, then multiply again by the total number of lotteries that have happened, in the time that place has existed, then add all the totals together. Now get the average odds of winning a lottery and divide by the previous figure.
I don't think the odds are going to be that high.

Or maybe he got one from his daughter and he passed his remaining factory fitted kidney to someone else.

I get paid in cash, catgirls, femboys and right wing tears. I'm so glad to have come across a 'not a Republican' though! Please do tell, which of your views aren't right wing? Maybe we have something in common? Like a self sufficient, armed and independent local community?

This is a common misconception, they can and will if they feel you are in imminent danger, but this is a last resort. Please seek help if you need it.

I donated my kidney to a close friend in April 2022 and let me say, the vigorous testing before the surgery is way more intense than the actual surgery/recovery as a donor. The way it was explained was that if you are viable for a donation but not matching in any regard (blood and/or tissue type) then they put you into a national database (as least here in the US) where they pair you up with another similar situation pair. Lucky for us we were the same blood and tissue type. All in all, if anyone out there is curious in donating, I recommend reading up about it to see what it entails. I could probably answer any questions too

Even if it isn't fully submerged, it will flood constantly.

I donated marrow , I would be highly impressed if you could collect it, and send it yourself!

Ahh yeah average redditor stereotyping. Do you get paid for the division? And I shouldn't have to say I'm not a republican just tired of children who want to divide people with common goals.

I would do the donation if I could, but they don't want my organs- or blood for that matter.

I don't blame them, cancer sucks.

I was making a stupid joke, sorry. >! Since OP said it was easy to do, as it was done via mail these days. !< Thank you for dropping the links!
