    If you’re talking about the American Red Cross, they have removed most of the explicitly queerphobic rules. They still ask about high risk activities, but in a non gendered way.

    It was kind of insane, though, that 20 years ago I was banned for life for having sucked cock. Turns out I was just boymoding, and as soon as I transitioned cocksucking became just fine for blood donation.



  • What dimensional space are the people arranging themselves in?

    But seriously, this reminds me of a time at my former (FAANG) employer where HR sent out a 40-minute video about not being an asshole and avoiding lawsuits.

    12 minutes or so in, they say “as the number of people in a group increases, the number of potential 1:1 interactions increases exponentially.” I thought “actually n(n-1)/2 but whatever”, and finished the video intending to get on with my life.

    My inbox was FULL of engineers who were irate. “HR have proven themselves to be fools!” “I expect the company to never ask me to waste my time on their bullshit again.” “Once again non-technical people talking out their asses.”

    HR sent a global apology for the error, asked everybody to not watch the video while they fixed it, and released a patched version the next day.
