See, this is what I mean 👆 "iT sAvEs liVess, wHat arE yOu a PieCe of ShiT?" Using social pressure to shame others into a system, which if they were educated on it, they probably wouldn't agree to it.

More than 60% of the people that receive organ transplants are 50 or older. To tell you the truth, no I don't care about being their hero. And as I mentioned there is a for profit incentive system in place which I'm not comfortable with (in the US at least) And just as a bigot wouldn't want their organ going to a certain portion of the population, I wouldn't want my organs going to a bigot or some wealthy asshole that can afford the procedure while others die. Also I wouldn't want to find myself at deaths door surrounded by a transplant team circling my dying body like vultures treating my body like a commodity.

🤮

I opted out as an organ donor a few years ago and it was after reading comments like yours where people described the process of organ harvesting. I find it to be pretty dehumanizing. I think there is a lot of pressure to do it without much education on the subject. Additionally I wish I could control where my organs went, I wish I could consent right before I died and I wish there wasn't a giant Rube Goldberg machine of financial incentives (that can be cheated to benefit the wealthy) driving the entire enterprise, but we don't live in a perfect world. I hope if I'm ever I situation where I would need a transplant I will not be a hypocrite and let myself die or just survive on life support. This article is just a drop in the bucket, and to me, your comment and this case only highlight sentiments that were already there. We are not animals we can't put blinders on people in the hopes that more of them sign up to have their organs harvested after death using a system that is arguably kinda fucked up. There is this attitude and arrogance that come from the medical profession where people think because they know best and want to keep patients in the dark in matters of life and death (CDC lying about masks, to absolute catastrophes like the case of Memorial Medical Center after hurricane Katrina)

Leaky drainage pipe?

Not the same -.-

You're telling me you never wanted to set your lab on fire (which is filled with 55 gallon drums of flammable solvents)? Sir, I need you to change your username

Someone at my workplace is not eating enough fiber so the shitter got clogged and shit water overflowed everywhere after trying to flush. We're a -lean fast paced dynamic start up environment- which means I mopped up the shit water myself

I guess him fucking a high-schooler when he was 30 is something that we are probably taking out of context and shouldn't judge his character over it.

Oh thank you

To revise my last reply, if you look at pugjesus' comment, the original source appear to say that a lot of them did it.

and most of them laid down their shields and rested one foot upon them

Looks like it actually was a lot of them that did it.

Roman forces had a system for rotating troops in and out of the very front line of combat in the middle of a battle (like hockey players mid game), so yes it would only make sense to have the shields there for those who are actively fighting.

Also I can't imagine this was a regular occurrence

Say goodbye to your pets cause you're gonna get the ATF called on you
