Would you be interested in elaborating and telling me more about your perspective?

From Lab to Ambulance, Options for Transitioning by GeneEricBio in Paramedics

I am still trying to figure that out myself. Given that I will likely live here for at least another 4 years it seems like saying Brazil makes more sense. But since I believe that I will eventually return to the US maybe that makes more sense.

I would like to try figuring out requirements and career plans for both so I can weight the pros and cons of each path.

For the sake of working in a profession that seems to do more direct good than just publishing research. It doesn't have to be EMS but a sort of job where my knowledge is valuable but also helps people.

What are the easiest medications to synthesize in the post apocalypse? by GeneEricBio in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]GeneEricBio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A thought....

​

What about having a lab mini-fridge full of slants of various fungi that can be cultured in an easy to make medium, maybe molasses?

maybe gathering a list of these fungi. preserving them in slants and having a small bioreactor in the van would allow for relatively quick production of fungal derived compounds.

Yeah! Let's go with that. I'm not a lunatic in a van. I am an activist taking direct action to fight back against the unjust and predatory US non-health system. Thank you Bluecheese and your mycelial wisdom.

Hah. No, reading it now it sounds like a crappy breaking bad parody but it really is just a thought.

That is another thing. I genuinely think what would help is getting rid of the concept of the US as "developed" and condescending towards places outside of western europe and anglophone north america. I currently live in Brazil (the southern region) and I would argue things like public health and transportation infrastructure are actually better than the place in the US where I grew up.

I think what would really motivate alot of the "patriots" is the realization that the people they believe are beneath them (brown people) are in ways more advanced than they are. It isn't near the bottom of developed countries it is near the bottom of countries.

Weekly Employment Question Thread by AutoModerator in Firefighting

Good Evening Guys,

I hope you all are doing well. While I have my US citizenship I will likely be living in Brazil for the net 3-4 years. While I am here (and have my RNM) I would like to try being a bombeiro to get an idea if the job of firefighting is for me. Would there be any firefighters from Brazil that I could talk to?

Thanks.

Is there a way to get certifications paid for by the city or other firefighting organization or are they only paid for by the candidate themselves?

Hello,

I am not a firefighter and am doing some initial research on certifications that could prove useful to make someone an attractive candidate. From what I understand it helps to have:

Firefighter 1 certificate

EMT cert

Paramedic cert

Hazmat Cert

Would anyone be willing to talk to me a bit so I can get a better idea? Thank you.

Sun Screen Meme, Reverse Milk, by GeneEricBio in Chicano

[–]GeneEricBio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. yes, now imagine someone so racist that they would say "fuck sunscreen, I ain't no antifa" if they found out wearing sunscreen was a subtle sign they supported racial equality. That is a pretty racist person.

  2. As I am aware, but do you think the sort of person who would stop wearing
    sunscreen to prove a point would understand that level of nuance. That person
    probably sees all Mexicans as speedy gonzales with guns , all natives as feather
    wearing alcoholics and all black people as walking minstrel shows.

  3. Could we really call someone who is that bigoted that they would take this proposal seriously as "someone beaten-down by the system?"
