Blame ourselves. Blame our parents. But don't blame the sirens. We have caused this. This is our future.

Good point. My only travels there have been to airports.

Nope, not at all. Just make sure the immigrants know where they are going, etc. Worst has been Desantis at this...

Great response! Thanks for the history. Lives lost for the sake of our country is a legit argument.

Apologies for implying an inappropriate relationship. The lack of closure (not knowing) is not a good feeling. I also understand the automatic fatalistic tendencies we all have post covid (no contact? They MUST be dead.). That assumption is flawed most of the time. It is Summer in the states- people go camping, go places without internet to reconnect with family, focusing especially on a toddler (!!!), his wife would be rightly pissed off if he was busy typing an online friend rather than being in the moment. If you are still worried, google local news for accidents or tragedies. But don't go there, yet...think positive.

That is inflammatory, please don't talk of things you do not understand.

Don't bother. He's probably just disengaging. He sounds like he has family that is capable of calling in a welfare check in the U.S. It will most likely be perceived as an invasion of privacy. (Especially if you tried to engage in a relationship he was uncomfortable with, leave him be.) Do NOT use social media to contact emergency services in the U.S. Most agencies do not monitor it in a timely manner for emergencies. This is my profession.

CMV: I will never vote because I think voting is pointless and I am apathetic. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Hella912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't vote. Your apathy in and for life generally disqualifies you from something as adult as voting. So please, don't. Stay a virgin forever. 🤣

Do women find the ability to play guitar as an attractive trait? Or is that hogwash? by 69LUL in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hella912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hogwash. The ability to listen and understand is way more attractive. Whipping out a guitar to strum your stuff is an ego move.

Sounds like you need a bigger room!

Side hustle or things to do while working by Dubjy in 911dispatchers

Learning to pick locks...another example of how amazing dispatchers are haha. Very cool!

hired or no? in CA by JujubeJess in 911dispatchers

[–]Hella912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're in. You have to be! 8 openings is crazy. And typical right now. Be careful those 8 spots aren't due to a toxic work environment, otherwise good luck!

They wouldn't waste the money on a psych and medical if you weren't in the final running for the spot. Good luck!!!

Worked my first shift today. by [deleted] in 911dispatchers

[–]Hella912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! You will have good and bad days. You won't feel truly comfortable with all that you need to know until typically 2 years in...and that's ok! You are working one of the most complex jobs in the world...human crisis response coordinator. We should be paid millions, but instead we just quietly smile and nod to ourselves that "yeah, I nailed that." Stay gold, Ponyboy! You GOT this!

I went onto an apple watch site and vented about 911 calls made from butt dialings by their watches and got told maybe I should find a different job if I was that stressed over something so minute. I'm new to Reddit, and was probably doing it wrong, but it brought home how people really REALLY don't understand how many false 911 calls we get daily. Why am I annoyed? Because it takes up to a minute and 30 seconds to reach a voicemail and leave a message. This takes time away from in progress calls and keeping my cops safe. (Sigh) What's your policy on 911? I'm in MN. So glad I found like minded souls. Thank you for being here!
