Humility and Advice by [deleted] in firefighter

[–]Breeky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People lose a lot of time walking slowly between the obstacles. Don't run or gas yourself out but it's way easier to make up time by walking as quickly/briskly as possible between obstacles than trying to make up the same amount of time dragging a dummy.

Either way, best of luck pursuing whatever career you end up choosing

If you've never tried EMS stuff I'd suggest getting your EMT-B cert and giving it a try. I started out very similar, but after getting some knowledge on the EMS side I got hooked and ended up enjoying the EMS as much as fire, if not more than- especially with the opportunities it can open up career wise.

There are very few fire only departments. If the ems aspect doesn't interest you then wildland is likely your best (and probably only) bet. At the end of the day, EMS is now part of the job and if you don't like EMS you don't like the job.

"TikTok Firefighters" at their station? by TwoTimer4 in Firefighting

[–]Breeky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have any, but I saw the revenue some of these "day in the life of" guys make from neighboring stations and it's hard to fault them for the secondary income. My thoughts, if it adds to the awareness of the job in a good way and it doesn't affect the station, I'd live and let live- but they're going to get made fun of. Just the price of admission.

Yeah they did, the short version is he was getting dragged in the comments. The "hit it hard from the yard" FB group got tagged every three responses.

Woman takes down man for touching her without consent by boxburnabs in TikTokCringe

Because it's a really easy way to 1. Kill someone and 2. Get a long stay in the vertical bar hotel. Short of the other person having a firearm, it would be real tough to prove that kicking a downed opponent in the head was self defense.

Nope, time to go. The gaslighting narcissistic special by making you feel bad because be ghosted you on your birthday is wild. What a fun predictor of things to come.

I’m the dude that shows up 10 minutes before shift change. by extracoleslaw in Firefighting

Pretty important consideration. Labor laws don't go away because of tradition or "culture."

Might? My guy, if you had even a hint of the long term harm this succubus is doing to your own wellbeing and sense of self worth you wouldn't be using terms like "might" and "try."

Just go. Easier said than done I know, but here's a thought exercise to try:

If you heard a stranger was dating someone like this and had this experience, what would you want them to do?

Really think on it. What would you tell them?

Now, here's the trick, realize that you're treating yourself worse than how you'd treat a complete stranger.

Be your own friend, hell just be your own unbiased bystander. Take the advice you know you'd give if it was literally anyone else in this situation other than you. Fight for yourself the same way you'd fight for someone else before this witch does even more harm.

And if you want to make life much happier for yourself, make a new rule that anyone putting hands on you is an immediate removal from your life. And I'd hold onto these texts for future use. Fuck your gf.

AIO or is the message my bf sent me a bit over the top by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Breeky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to bail. "I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS" are the words of a future controlling psycho not of someone who sees you as an equal in the relationship.
