at the plasma donation place, one of the screening questions is "have you had a condition with scab formation?" - like, a superficial cut, or a mosquito bite? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

a condition with scab formation?

Ask them if unsure but my guess is they mean conditions like Haemophilia.

Also don't rely on their screening. I believe the test a performed on bundles of donations for efficiency and a bad donation may cause the others in that bundle to be discarded too.

Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

A direct boycott of Amazon and its subsidiaries? Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

But boycotting services that happen to use Amazon? Impossible!

Any business may use products ordered from there. Your local toll gate may use AWS. Unless you are a major client nobody is going to let you audit their supply contracts.

That's the whole gene vs meme concept.

The same principal applies in that people who come after you can receive your ideas.

So... How often do you have to change the filter?
