skippity looza- ibuprofen will not interfere with my ability to clot blood/heal a cut, yes? because i seriously sliced up my thumb whilst cutting onions and it hurts like the dickens and i need to take SOMETHING soon. Dang. I've cut myself a lot, but this one REALLY hurts more than usual.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
and that masturbation causes arthritis in the hands
Wow, are they ever doing that wrong.

I don't think ibuprofen affects clotting, but I am not absolutely positive. I don't think it will keep a cut from healing, though.
Eta: OK, I googled and NSAIDS do reduce clotting and will increase bleeding after an injury. I think as long as you don't keep taking it while you are healing it wouldn't be a problem, but I obviously don't really know what I'm talking about.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Y'all, I just want to say that I just read 400ish messages after not being on all day, and you people are my very favorites.
In less happy-touchy-feely news, I bashed the everloving shit out my knee for the second day in a row WITH MY OWN WEAPON. I couldn't have picked a sport with lots of padding and very little of doing things at high speed?

Well, the short answer is no, ibuprofen *probably* won't stop you from clotting.
The long answer is contingent on a bunch of questions. Do you take other drugs that can reduce clotting? Do you eat a lot of vitamin K-rich foods? Do you have a clotting disorder/hemophilia? Are you on your period? How much ibuprofen, and how often are you taking it?
If you aren't taking other drugs that can reduce clotting, don't eat a lot of vitamin K-rich foods, don't have a clotting disorder, and haven't been taking 800 mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours for a month, you're 99.99% going to be fine. Especially if all you're taking is 400 mg (2 OTC tablets).

I take ibuprofen like they're M&Ms, so do as I say, not as I do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know one practicing Buddhist (not Zen, but I forget which sect) who describes herself as an atheist.
It is my understanding of Buddhism is that there is nothing in the core beliefs which mandates a god, and is therefore a candidate for atheism. But many atheists might consider the nirvana concept as something that would exclude it from their fold.
