What is the difference between plasmapharesis and exchange transfusion

Title. I've been conceptualizing them to be the same thing but I kind of want to make sure I'm not missing something. And are their respective indications pretty much the same or are there any major differences?

Google has not helped. Thanks!

Your favourite character is pocketed by Medic & Kritzkrieg Medic (TF2), Soraka (league of Legends), Ying w/ Life Exchange (Paladins), Dallas with the Medic tree aced (Payday 2), every support hero in Overwatch and also had a blood transfusion w/ Wolverine. Who is the strongest character he can beat?

Round 1: These medics cannot fight against the enemy, but they can heal your character of choice constantly.

Round 2: Now, these medics can act on the offence and attack the enemy themselves with whatever abilities they have. Does this change anything? Assume Dallas just has an AK-47 and a Glock, and Medic is equipped with a stock syringe and Ubersaw while kritz medic has a Vita-saw and Crusader's Crossbow.

Round 3: Now they've betrayed you, and it's YFC with only his/her Wolverine healing factor vs. them. Who wins?

Blindsight build.

This is backstory stuff (skip if you aren't interested):

My character had a hefty period of retraining due to our downtime as we were just done with a Kingmaker book 5 i believe. He's desperate for power as he eventually wants to slaughter the orcs of the Bzelken hold for the crimes they regularly commit against half-orcs and the kind of upbringing he had there. The main villain of this book was said to give power in exchange for servitude under him, something that my character could not accept. So after defeating him we get the aforementioned downtime.

I elected to change from sole eldritch guardian fighter to Bloodrager. As my character had no innate blood the only bloodline that i could aquire would be arcane through experimentation and transfusions/alchemy. Thankfully we had the people for it however as a result of the painful experimentation and procedures required he developed some emotional issues as i rolled for "Extreme Mood Swings" as one of the fitting feats and also got blindness as an Arcane Malignancy as a drawback (we used a specific table if it already doesnt exist on the raw one).

The question:

Are the 5 feats and a trait (Blind Zeal) required for blindsight worth it?

Blind Fighting(Trait) > Blind Blade Style > Blinded Competence > Improved Blind Fighting > Greater Blind Fighting > Blinded Master

I have a familiar that can speak and otherwise direct me fine as well as the goggles of kinship that let me share sight with my familiar on a command word for anything else.

As far as i understood the 30ft. of blindsight makes me immune to like 95% of all illusions, all concealment, gaze attacks and effects as well as anything purely sight based. For my trouble i also have 10ft. Of scent as well, the side benefit here being the fact that i can benefit out of pheromone arrows.

Edit: Optimal answer found. Fungal Grafts: Fungal Eyes. In terms of gold for value these amazing.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

How I Fell into Qanon – The End of the Road

How I Fell into Qanon – The End of the Road

It is not my intention here to explain what Q is or the history of the movement. This is more an analysis of one person’s psychological priming and making them susceptible to the alternative narrative Q offered. My motivation for writing this is primarily a selfish one as putting the process in words helps me to understand it better and I hope will allow closure for a chaotic chapter of my life. I am not trained in psychology but as I explain my story, I think you will clearly see the patterns emerge.

I became aware of Q in early 2020 just as the Covid pandemic was starting to affect us in the UK. The dramatic societal upheaval and borderline-apocalyptic outlook held by the majority of people I followed online fueled long seated paranoid beliefs within me. I had been into conspiracy theory since I was a teenager and until very recently held unshakable beliefs surrounding certain events like 9/11. I will explain later in the text what my views of these beliefs are now.

It is my opinion that Q arrived during the perfect storm. With global societal unrest and distrust in β€˜officialdom’ reaching all time highs Q was already gaining sizable traction before the pandemic even began. Once the pandemic prompted lock-downs around the globe suddenly millions of people were at home with only the internet and traditional media to provide answers and a sense of social inclusion. With governments seemingly unable to provide satisfactory answers people turned to alternative sources of information to address their concerns. People wanted answers immediately, and there were people willing to provide them.

Backstory

I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. This is a religion which follows quite a literal interpretation of the bible and as such is known for such practices as not celebrating Christmas or birthdays and more concerning is their practice of denying blood transfusions. To me however the most damaging aspect of the Jehovah’s Witness lifestyle is the psycho-social manipulation that takes place. I was taught from a very young age that we were not to socialise with children from outside the religion. We were not allowed to sit in school assemblies which took place every morning as they sang hymns and of course were not allowed to go to birthday parties. This level of social isolation from such a young age created a sense of loneliness and despair which still haunts me to this day. I am 34 now and still suffer a great de

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
