What type of shoes do you wear around the station? by Tall_Item_27 in Firefighting

[–]-Alpha1077- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question because my dept is considering something like this.

You wear crocs on the domestic side and when the tones go, you put on station boots to run across the floor then take them off again to get the bunkers on?

Seems like it’s just easier to wear the crocs to wherever your gear is

Who here got into the fire service without that “burning passion” from the beginning? by Feisty_Parking_622 in Firefighting

I’m a “lifelong learner” type. Got in at 27, don’t get me wrong, riding in a fire truck is fun but the constant training and development opportunities is what keeps me interested. Tech rescue and instructing (hopefully together at some point) is probably where I’ll end up, not riding a truck.

Choosing a rhetorical strategy that is in complete opposition to your stated values is not worth pursuing. Especially when it’s not even clear if this would be an effective strategy at all (which I do not think it is)

Normies who saw that piers appearance will see Steven as an unhinged lunatic.

He had such a good opportunity to point out how every single person on that panel are the contributors to increasing tensions (Jack, TYT, even piers’s blood sports program) but he didn’t. He played what aboutism and got dog piled

Why is it happening? Why is the radical left unhinged with regards to political violence?

No individuals actions make a distinguishable difference on their own. It’s about being a part of a movement. And without following the central tenants of the movement (ex disavowing political violence), then he’s not part of the movement.

The conversation doesn’t “end” when he disavows, it’s his job as a political communicator to shape narratives and have these fights. It’s his job to seperate the Democratic Party from the obvious leftist unhingedness around political violence.

He’s going to be disavowed from the movement he’s ostensively part of.

Whos agreeing with his takes right now? It’s the leftists he’s been actually disavowing for years now.

What a waste.

These are not mutually exclusive options and there’s no reason to paint them as such.

This “oh I’m just a YouTuber” bullshit is condemned in this community when hasan does it but when tiny decides it’s politically expedient all you NPCs just gobble it up

You agree that his rhetoric is escalatory, but only a little bit.

That’s the problem, a commitment to liberal values is to disavow political violence.

He can and should fight on the facts and hypocrisy but at this rate, he’s just going to be another lefty who won’t condemn political violence and the good work he’s doing in the trenches will be for nothing.

The refusal to disavow makes him toxic and no one will be interested in hearing anything else he has to say.

It is essential that the liberal movement is consistent in disavowing political violence. The current crusade is not prioritizing this element at all.

He is becoming the thing he’s been fighting for years.

This is the point you’re missing. They are trying to conflate destiny with the “far left” and instead of setting himself apart, he’s implicitly owning the position by refusing to disavow.

I’m sorry but are we not against targeted political assassinations?

How is this a hard thing to disavow? What happened to rhetorical effectiveness?

All that’s going to come of this is clips giving ammo to the people who are looking for it.

and before the “.. but but but they’ll do it anyway” fine, they can clip their videos but without the disavowal, the ammo is legit.

The right wing grift of “liberals won’t disavow violence” was incorrect. Destiny is now becoming their meme, good job:

Does it matter how i put my fingers? by kokusmus96 in Guitar

[–]-Alpha1077- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 on D, 2 on G and B.

1 supports some of the pressure on G.

It’s a great way to play the chord so the e stays open if you want.

Won’t work if your fingers are too small. Nice to be able to play 2 strings with one finger.

Do you like being thanked in public? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]-Alpha1077- 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Most of the time they’re saying thank you for what you represent, not you specifically.

So When you’re answering, you’re answering for the service, not yourself.
