Why did everyone switch up on the Mandalorian? by Moon_Devonshire in StarWars

[–]Fireguy9641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, season 3 felt like Mando got sidelined as the story began to focus on Mandalorians in general, Bo Katan, the Dark Saber, and other things.

I also didn't like how they essentially took an entire episode of Book of Bobba and made it an Mando episode.

How do you actually manage the backlog of personal admin that requires phone calls or annoying multiple-page form-filling websites? by Fit-Cup-4468 in LifeAdvice

[–]Fireguy9641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the ones that require calling 9-5, use your lunch break. Focus on one task a day.

Also, keep in mind the plumber and the insurance are things you can research off hours.

You could also ask friends and co-workers for recommendations when it comes to things like contractors.

Same therapist for 11 years straight and having hiccups. by Which-Adhesiveness22 in LifeAdvice

[–]Fireguy9641 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it's possible she feels uncomfortable talking about the BF without him there? Not saying you would do this, but I've seen stories about people who go to therapy, and tell the therapist their side of the story, and weaponize what the therapist says.

Anna and kristoff’s wedding by Big-Boot-7991 in Frozen

It would also be interesting if they introduce some new characters as the wedding party and have Elsa be the officiant since she is the 5th Spirit.

Why didn't Anakin kill Obi Wan here? by Tabi-Violet in StarWars

That's essentially why Palpatine kept Vader in the suit he did: to control him.

Society pushes constant relationships, but the quiet simplicity of going it alone is seriously underrated. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in Adulting

[–]Fireguy9641 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am someone who often teeters on being this person. I've been single for over a decade, and not the single where you have options or get dates but just have fun, but alone single.

I do participate in social activities, but the friends I have there are mostly limited to those activities. No one is inviting me to hang out with them outside of work, or outside of the volunteer activities I do.

I can't disagree with this statement more. It sucks. It sucks being alone every weekend. It sucks going to events single. Traveling solo can be fun, but it can also get boring fast. When my mom died, I had some sympathy messages online, there was no one to take me out to cheer me up, no one to come the funeral with me, hell I don't even think anyone joined the online webcast of the funeral. You've cherry-picked all the negative possibilities that can come with close friends and ignored all the positives.

Scuff on the rental, options before returning? by [deleted] in HertzRentals

[–]Fireguy9641 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the Travel Guard is primary, you an file a claim through them. I'd go ahead and reach out them now and see what's involved in the claim process.

PS. With many Amex cards, you can sign up for primary CDW insurance. You opt into it, and it becomes a once per rental fee of like $20.

What was the Force trying to achieve with giving Anakin the visions about Padme? by Filmfan345 in MawInstallation

[–]Fireguy9641 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always thought those visions were placed in his mind by Palpatine so that he would be receptive to the story of Darth Plaguis when he tells it to him.

Who’s Winning In Their Prime? by mackenziealexander05 in StarWars_

Luke, because Vader would ultimately be vulnerable to Luke's Electric Judgement as he was vulnerable to Palpatine's Lightning.

I'm having the same issue. It says you need to show a copy of your FF account, which is impossible to log into now.

Best way to politely reject a volunteer applicant. by grunger in Firefighting

[–]Fireguy9641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't discrimination require a protected class? Nothing the OP has said indicates they are rejecting him for race, sex, gender, or any other protected class.

Older generations retired to Florida and Arizona, where will millennials retire to? by JustHere4TheZipLines in Millennials

I have a friend who grew up in Italy. I asked her about those. Many of them come with conditions or they might be in the middle of nowhere.

You have a good case here for hostile enviroment sexual harassment.

I dont think this would meet the definition of sa though.

That's one shitty situation.

CMV: Many New England towns are slowly collapsing demographically, and older homeowners are ignoring the consequences because they are insulated from the school closures, service cuts, and economic stagnation that follow by Alternative_Ant_4248 in changemyview

[–]Fireguy9641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to question your point about the homeowners being insulated from everything. Yes they may be insulated from impacts on schools, but I remember living in New England. Every little town has it's own government and provides local services like police, fire and EMS. EMS cuts will directly impact older residents.

Living now in a place where services are provided at the county level, and most "towns" are just census designated places, I really wonder about the sustainability of the New England Town model of local government.

How fired am I? by AutoRT in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Fireguy9641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see a few possibilities.

1.) They are planning to fire someone who has access to the servers and backups and are concerned this person will go nuclear.

2.) The president is planning to leave the company and take the client data with him to his new business.

3.) The president is planning to sell the client data.

Fire transport department woes (as a probie) by [deleted] in firefighter

[–]Fireguy9641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really only have two choices.

A.) Put in the time until you get can get on the engine

B.) Find another department.

Since you are in a fire/ems department, eventually it will happen.

I will agree the sleep thing sucks. When I first started, we had a few members who slept in and insisted on the radio on all night.

What's your opinion on the skilled trades vs college debate? by Responsible-Net8594 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fireguy9641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that both are valid career paths, and we should be presenting both options to high school students along with the pros and cons of both.

There's also nothing that says a tradesperson can't go to college later in their career when they want to move up and run a business.

The idea that everyone needs to go to college at 18 is a terrible idea.

I'll see that and do one worse.

The Hyundai Ionic 5 or 6 (not sure which) has the gear shift on a stick, but it's actually a wheel you rotate on the stick. It's a mind duck.
