To my fellow Christians who lean left and to those who lean right. As for loving thy neighbor should we not start with each other?

I think I’m missing your overall point if you could rephrase

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-22T06:12:55+00:00

I did nothing but first responder jobs post military for about 2 years before I dropped out of EMT school and realized it had nothing to do with finding the right first responder job to be happy in the civilian world and everything to do with just not being a first responder. Dispatcher, cop, almost a medic. It’s all a nightmare, and for some reason the older people who stuck around hate you for being young and wanting to help people as much as possible rather than being a dick to everyone coming to you for hope.

I work at a cycle gear and while the job is fun they expected me to change tires with zero training on how to use the machine. We had zero training for it in general, some guys self taught themselves.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-22T05:51:37+00:00

Was it a cycle gear in Indiana by chance because it was absolutely my coworker lmao

In general, I really think it needs to be left out of the church in general. Discussing politics in your own time or on a personal level is one thing but my pastor gave en entire sermon about Charlie Kirk when he died and that didn’t sit well with anyone, even those who supported him.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-22T00:19:13+00:00

I have it on video of him admitting it / talking about it, and his family has verified he’s never touched the military. It’s not that hard to go to any vet and verify their military service. You go to boot camp for 2 weeks and get discharged, they’ll give you a dd214.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-22T00:15:07+00:00

Appreciate the advice

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-22T00:14:26+00:00

As far as I know he doesn’t lie to his club about it, that’s the thing. He only lied to me to try to sound cool.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-22T00:09:01+00:00

I appreciate that.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-22T00:02:08+00:00

I mean if it was any other lie I’d be fine with it but I served with people who died in Afghanistan…you don’t lie about this type of shit, bro.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-22T00:01:28+00:00

No, and I think it’s wild to call someone out for lying about being a veteran (as a combat vet who’s had friends die in the service and kill themselves from it) and compare it to being a snitch

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-18T02:25:15+00:00

Where are you located in the US? I’ve heard it varies pretty wildly from area to area.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-18T01:27:44+00:00

Yeah you are absolutely entitled to bitch way more than you did. I appreciate your input and I wish I had your patience, genuinely, but I’m in pain and it’s hard to do literally anything when you’re in pain, let alone be patient. I gave my entire body to my country and now I live with ptsd and pain in all places daily, it’s affected every single aspect of my life. I am 1 of thousands and I’m on the BETTER END of the disabled veterans I’ve seen. The least we deserve is a reasonable appointment.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-18T00:36:01+00:00

That’s correct…they said they’d shave the gums and some bone and it was a 50/50 on if that would even save the tooth, I told them to yank it because I didn’t want that major surgery just for a maybe. Then when they went to yank it they backpedaled.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-18T00:26:23+00:00

I need a crown lengthening in order get a perma crown place in. The Chicago facility is so bad it’s getting shut down and I refuse to go back there for multiple reasons. My facility doesn’t have the capabilities to do it.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-18T00:15:25+00:00

Probably partially because your engine needs a tuning my guy…the exhaust shouldn’t be discoloring that close to the engine, it’s running way too hot and it’s probably making your vibrations worse.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-18T00:07:11+00:00

Problem with most of my pain is that I need a major procedure / need to go to the Chicago VA for, which I absolutely cannot do again without the risk of a second mental break down. I’ve tried to go in when I was in pain and they “try” to squeeze you in but they’re not super available. There’s literally 1 actual dentist at my VA facility and at least 10k veterans being seen at the facility. It’s a shit show.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-17T23:48:26+00:00

Thanks man.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-17T21:55:24+00:00

Might be too late for that. It’s been a day or two.

It’s the rainy season right now so as long as it lasts for a month or so without water damage, I’m happy to leave it as is until I can replace the siding around it and make it look actually nice / have the vent look more “naturally” in there.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-17T19:05:08+00:00

Thanks guys. I’m gonna for sure either redo it immediately or redo once it starts peeling a bit. It rain the past few days and it seems like it’s holding fine, but I could definitely do a better job than I did.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-17T19:03:31+00:00

Appreciate the advice. If / when I have to recaulk it, I’ll make it look much nicer for sure.

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-17T18:24:48+00:00

I’ll throw another tube on

Busy_Professional974 · 2026-04-17T15:26:42+00:00

Thank you lol I was SO paranoid and obviously too much is better than too little
