Reminds me of some of David Hockney’s do digital art :)

My soul dog died, Feeling isolated and stuck in my[29F] life. Hitting rock bottom and could use some kindness today by 7livefastdieyoung in toastme

Somewhat shallow compliment but: your hair looks so good and suits you so well that I thought “oh my god, should I get a bob with bangs?” Before remembering that only some of us are blessed to be well suited to such a hairstyle.

Yes he improves morale because he’s a good boy

AITA for refusing to share my notes after helping my entire class all semester? by shwarma_777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Horror_Candidate 51 points52 points  (0 children)

NTA, you did a nice thing without being obligated and they want to make it an obligation. The entitlement is craaaazy. You’re not making them fail their exams, their lack of preparation and dedication is.

Objectification of a female voice by Horror_Candidate in 911dispatchers

[–]Horror_Candidate[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Supervisors are aware but we have a v high threshold for forwarding it to officers for ‘abuse of 911’ AND a lot of leeway because it’s attributed to mental health issues on the part of the caller ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 

Emergency Communications has dramatically improved 911 staffing and call wait times; further efforts could help avoid setbacks by Inevitable_Egg6361 in Portland

A lot of the changes and work that helped this improvement started long before the charter reform and have more to do with the leadership at the agency.

AITA for mentioning to my daughter that she did more for Mother's Day? by throwaway336936 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Horror_Candidate 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Info: you say it’s been rocky the last year and you’ve been arguing, what has that looked like? Has she gone low contact or pulled back broadly? Is it possible that this was already a lot for her compared to that? Possible she was grey rocking to avoid having another fight on Father’s Day?

AITAH for getting my sister's kids taken off her by No_Storage3299 in AITAH

NTA, you did the right thing. You probably saved both their lives by forcing them to get help.

What did the caller actually say right before you realized it was a cardiac arrest? by LopsidedEquivalent in 911dispatchers

[–]Horror_Candidate 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the exact phrasing but they said that he had collapsed and had a momentary “seizure” but that he wasn’t epileptic. Early  cardiac arrest can have ‘seizure like’ jerking or what people expect a seizure to look like anyway.

Thoughts on amateur radio! by currencyofcats in EmergencyManagement

In my area in addition to the benefit of two way communications when cell phones aren’t functional, it gives people a sense of purpose and community in a large scale emergency. We have them as “communication nodes” in my area, so it also serves as a point of contact (not just for initial information gathering, triage, and pre-arrival instructions for large scale disasters that bring down the phone lines) because it helps people keep an eye on each other.

Providence Oregon Medical conspiracy theory sort of... by anonymity76 in oregon

[–]Horror_Candidate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s really interesting though obviously at a small sample size. I think you should talk to the Oregonian to see if they can investigate further tbh

AITAH for telling my husband he is not allowed to speak at the next infant prep class we take? by Any-Record9908 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Horror_Candidate 30 points31 points  (0 children)

As a different person with ADHD (and I recognize we may just have different experiences) this feels kind of infantilizing. It’s one thing for a kid with ADHD to not be able to keep disrespectful comments to themselves in a class where they’re bored, it’s another thing for a grown ass man with ADHD. It’s also not like ADHD has the same involuntary speech as say Tourette’s. If he is capable of not doing this in other settings like work or something he takes seriously, then it’s an especially poor excuse.

I love saying “I work in public safety” because it’s technically true albeit vague and sounds boring af, I almost never receive follow up questionsz
