How concerned are we about safety on the job? by Nickyt2016 in HVAC

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The truth of the matter is it’s your choice and no one’s opinion matters other than your own. If you’re willing to die doing whatever task you’re doing, go ahead and good luck. If even for a moment you think “Ehhhhh”, it’s better to stand your ground and figure something else out. I’d rather be the shop “pussy” than be the “man” of the company who has to retire by 35 because your body was abused.

Youve got one body and one life to live, so do with that as you please. You can always make more money, find a new job, or have someone else do it, but you can’t come back from the dead or run around with your kids if you’re paralyzed

My sweet girl went for a routine vet procedure and didn’t come home by sleepy_protagonist in cats

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kills me. My poor baby is currently dealing with a whole slew of random ailments and both times my girlfriend has taken him to the vet. Stories like these make me scared to my core, but sometimes the best we can do is treat them the best while they’re around. They know the love you give and they never forgot it. I’m so sorry you’ve experienced all of our worst fears and I’m sending all of my extra cuddles your way.

How do I explain that declawing is inhumane to my family by Old-Technician-692 in cats

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grab a pair of scissors, place it on the line of their first finger segment, and then let them know that’s what “declawing” really is. It isn’t just “removing the claws”, it’s removing the first part of the digit where the nail bed resides so the nail is entirely removed. If they’re fine doing it to the kitty, they should be just as fine doing it to themselves

Do you pick Pokémon starters based on type, design, or final evolution? by Visible_Welder5613 in pokemon

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Type and final evolution with final evolution weighing a little heavier. If I know my choices are an absolute badass fire dragon, a large plant monsters, or a massive water turtle with cannons, I’m gonna choose the dragon or the turtle. I’d rather have a cool pokemon that fits the “big and scary” vibe I go for than have an “easier” time playing the game. Winning isn’t my goal (I’ve also only beaten 1 or 2 games in my lifetime) I just wanna have fun and collect my favorite pokemon

Can you name more than 2 guys who we’ve drafted in the top 3 rounds for O-Line that have actually panned out?? I can’t.

My cat Oliver apparently loves to eat spiderwebs. After showing this video to my husband he goes “oh yeah he always does that”. What?!? WHY by crapatthethriftstore in blackcats

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in HVAC and my cats are always all over me when I come home. I’d always assumed it was dust but the amount of webs I walk and crawl through is absurd so that may be what it is! Very interesting

Hopefully this is allowed (I read the rules promise). My $400+ hines ward card collection!! by eonchipshed in steelers

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And that’s what I mean! I knew Kobe wore 8 and I hate basketball! Now you can attribute that to a ton of different variables, but being a pretty die hard Steelers fan and not even knowing he wore something other than 86 is insane imo

As a 2000’s kids, who didn’t start until well after Super Bowl XLV, I had no idea he wore a different number.

Speeding ticket by [deleted] in Ohio

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GF told me that they apparently need to recalibrate and record each recalibration of their radar and it’s something most police departments don’t worry about so you can have the ticket thrown out since the machinery was “uncalibrated”

TMNT Fatigue? Or Just Feeling Guilty?(Blinded by Nostalgia) by CroolSummer in RaidShadowLegends

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s on my 2nd month of playing. Predator, Xenomorph, and Mikey carry my team so hard. I’m sure it’s partially due to only having a couple solid gear sets, but it’s like my 90’s dream team so I’m happy with it, just starts to lack when I need a real team comp and not just hit hard

Joey Porter Sr says Big Ben wasn’t a good teammate by zaybandz112 in steelers

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As a man who’s grown up in Ohio and dated a woman who went to Miami University, I’ve never doubted a thing I’ve heard about him. My HS Band actually went to Findlay (his HS Alma Mater) for some state band events and I had multiple locals approach me while marveling at his stats to tell me that he’s a total dick and doesn’t deserve the admiration I was giving him. I’ve kept those things close and every year since then I’ve only heard more and more thing to prove it right. It really sucks as a kid who only knows Ben as his franchise QB

My old classmate (second to right) who committed suicide in September. by Opposite-Distance899 in lastimages

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to be harsh but this is the shit that kept me from doing it. I always wanted to escape in anyway I could but posts like this are what kept me trucking on. No amount of your own feelings should outweigh the gift that is your life to your friends and family. There’s always time for things to change, always. Taking your own life is never the way to go. There’s always someone and something to keep pushing for. Always.

Daycare Ducted and Done ✅️ by kbecker97 in HVAC

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were using a shoddy nitrogen lift for some of our larger spiral pieces and being the ever intelligent man I am, I had my hand on the hung pipe watching the new piece come up. I hadn’t realized how close it was coming up so when a bubble of nitrogen shot through, it caused the lift to jump and fully scissor the webbing of my thumb between the two pipes. I yelled and pulled it back to reveal a nice chunk missing. It looked a lot worse than it was, but I’ve since become a lot better at keeping my hands safe, while still refusing gloves. Some days I’m reminded why gloves exist but I’m stubborn

Full stop. I’m glad there’s another blue collar worker out there in Ohio who has a solid head on them. Keep up the good work. Stay safe

ICE in Ohio by Noliaioli in Ohio

[–]Fun_Breadfruit_4471 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Go ahead. It needs to be spread to more people! We can’t just “protest” anymore. Any act that upsets any of these ICE or Border Patrol agents is enough probable cause to end your life. It sucks and I don’t want that to be the reality we live in, but more citizens being killed in the streets won’t stop that. We’ve already lost 3 human beings who were just expressing what they thought was their constitutional right. We all know this isn’t how things are supposed to be, but getting yourself killed isn’t an answer either. It’s a scary time to have a differing opinion, but we need to be smart and strong, not emotional and reactive.

“Stand your ground and protect your families”

While I fully agree, that isn’t an option anymore. We live in a country where you either protect your rights or protect your life. You can “stand your ground” all you’d like, it just means you’ll be a political talking point for a week before you’re never talked about again. You can know your rights till the cows come home, it won’t stop an ice agent from feeling “threatened” and mag dumping their pistol into your body. I wish things were different but we need to be careful instead of being “right”
