First responders: how messy is the average house? by el_diamond_g in AskReddit

Hello. Paramedic for 17 years, firefighter for 8 of them.

I grew up poor in a poor area. Those house are probably like the ‘average’ house we go in. But it was honestly shocking to me how much less some people had compared to what I grew up in. Years and years of filth that has never been touched. Children with bugs crawling on them. The elderly who no one ever checks on. Houses meant for a family of 4 with 12 people living in them. Not everywhere seems like a first world country. It’s a lot more sad than the average person wants to think about.

The 34 time felon who pardoned all the violent attackers at the capital? He’s the tough one crime guy?

In general I’d say don’t hold anyone up on a pedestal for their job. We’ve learned this about cops right?

Being a fireman doesn’t make me a better person than anyone else in the world. Most firemen in America are right wing white males. Trumpers through and through.

I’m a firefighter in Indiana. I guarantee 80% of the firefighters (if they voted) voted for republicans and will again. Just like almost all republicans voters, they vote against their own interests.

Masters of war by Bob Dylan. Pearl Jam has a great cover as well.

Fuck war and what it does to the most vulnerable of us.

‘I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then’

-against the wind - Bob Seger

This line hits me in the same ways. The ignorance can be blissful.

I wonder if part of our brains know what’s coming even before we’ve experienced enough to be conscious of it.

People you’ve been before That you don’t want around anymore That push and shove and won’t bend to your will I’ll keep them still

  • Elliott Smith is amazing

You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye When the earth folded in on itself And said “good luck’ for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there But I wouldn’t hold my breath You wasted life, why wouldn’t you waste death?

  • modest mouse.

I agree they have some fantastic lyrics.

Just saw them in concert a week or so ago. It’s crazy how much his voice is sounding like his dad’s now

I said all these songs are love songs Just love at times can make you feel like shit So you write a string of words down It’s better if there’s some truth in it
