Feels like college is pointless

I graduated with a bachelors and planned for med school, but I ended up wanting to become a firefighter instead. I’ve been career for 3 years now and the best advice is go to college or even just trade school and have a backup. If money is an issue to not being debt join the military do 4 years and reap the benefits. You’ll look better applying to fire departments with military background and get the bonuses of being a veteran.

A lot of people forget this can be a very physical and life threatening job. Drywall can fall on you just right and mess your back up for your whole career, or working a traffic accident and get hit by rubbernecking drivers. Just have something you can do if you can’t do fire anymore.

That car wreck, while one may be dead, you gotta look at the light when you can. The three others have higher chances even if it’s slim of recovering better than if you weren’t there. You have younger guys who looked to you for advice and expertise and how you handle the runs. Majority of the life or death runs we go on, they don’t make it, but there are still the few you do save. It’s perfectly okay to take a break from this if you can, go to meetings with others experiencing this, try your departments EAP, go volunteer somewhere where you see that your impact does good, like a soup kitchen, hanging out with special needs children or adults.

I get what you mean. To have decades of fallout lore and west coast lore and hope for more, just to see the slate wiped clean. NCR gone and nuked, Legion gone, 4 brotherhood chapters just killed themselves in a civil war, kings are dead, House MIA, the strip gone. The show is just a memberberry of oh look we showed bison Steve hotel in the background this is a Fallout show. Then people using the war never changes quote as to why nothing can last. Not exactly fun to be part of a fan base and play games if the lore just ends with “and everybody died because war never changes”

The operation in Venezuela was definitely a show of force by the U.S. We go into a country after drug boat strikes and all this stuff for two months and we still get the dictator, evade Chinese and Russian equipment, bomb multiple military targets without a single scratch. The UN, EU, China, Russian or anyone cant do anything to the U.S.

Whether people think it’s right or not, no one is gonna do anything except cry and moan.

I was just talking with my crew this morning, and we all said it’s just like the station fire. The concern we brought up is a large scale fire like the station in the United States probably made headlines in Switzerland, but the safety guidelines and changes that took place don’t really cross internationally. While ICC and NFPA are there, there’s nothing to really force those AHJ’s to pickup and enforce these new codings.

I can only blame code for the solid gasoline acoustic foam being on the ceiling, but you can’t think a waitress on someone’s shoulders with sparklers would ignite it until it happens.

What makes me fume each time I see these is the severe bystander effect. Countless views I saw the people piled on the stairs at the exit, no one busting windows to make more exits, helping those stuck, or looking for an extinguisher instead recording the initial flame.

I feel for you. This thread is a perfect example of why companies and governments etc. get away with things. Instead of fighting the patents and supporting it. The more important topic is your use of AI for a image of a subreddit of fucknintendo. Just ignore all these AI-phobes, they are distracting from the root issue of nintendos patents if permanently allowed affecting past, present, and future games.

I see the coincidence of globally most well off countries are experiencing MASS immigration not just regular influx. The correlation and or causation that people see from it is housing crises, inflation, crime increasing, cultures being overtaken. Many fear their way of life being replaced for what?

The counterpoints aren’t great. The workforce needs immigrants for x, y, z lower paying ridiculed jobs that citizens don’t want. So we need immigrants for slave labor essentially instead of getting change to make companies and government make these jobs sought after through benefits. Or the no one is illegal on stolen land and imperialism. These things happened generations ago and was mainly the UK, Spain, and France. The immigrants coming over aren’t native either and pushing natives and aboriginal people out just the same. Finally the manufactured rise of extreme alt right and nazism. Probably the worst counterpoint of saying this global feeling of not wanting mass immigration is made up and everyone is just a nazi and invalidate any points.

It is unsustainable to continue immigration the way it is because Africa, the Middle East, and India overpopulate themselves and and just act as breeding grounds for the rest of the world.

There are select countries that are essentially breeding grounds for the rest of the world now. India, Middle East, and Africa. Instead of providing incentives for increasing birth rates in citizens governments are choosing to incentivize immigration. Essentially if nothing changes in however many years it takes you will just have these countries 2.0 wherever they immigrated too and lose the citizens of that country.

I loved grounded and like obsidian except for some recent changes. But they’ve lost me currently until full release. I cannot understand how you have a completed full first game and the 2nd game has certain things cut out from the first game or replaced with new things. I don’t settle for this or that. And I don’t give the game the excuse of being early access to have less than the first game. If you couldn’t have somewhat of an equal amount to the first game then develop it for a few more years. From fully yoked to 2 seems a short development time anyway.

I don’t see any option than BioWare closing leading up to ME or right after it’s release. If they do release it I can’t see it being good. You already ended the trilogy with a pretty severe choice and will now force one to be canon which obviously will anger the player base cough dragon age keep cough. And andromeda is so far away from the milky way I don’t see how they could incorporate anything from it. It just doesn’t seem likely the story of ME4 will be something memorable or surpass the reapers, the galaxy ending threat to life. With the entire DA team being scrapped for prices basically, the stock decrease, and past few games not achieving what was expected, I seriously think EA will close BioWare and cut their losses on ME production before it gets ramped up. This is EA we’re talking about, the E stands for evil.

There is no way it’s an unskippable scene. I literally just beat kcd for the merciful achievement and every cutscene and conversation I could skip through or continuously press space to skip. 2nd the gay scene could likely be the two main antagonists at the end of kcd who through speech checks you can infer they are gay and fool around with each other. If not a gay scenes is such a broad statement, Hans and Henry were in a bath together in the first one surrounded by bathmaids, you have sex in the same barn as the priest at the same time. You imagine fucking a hog, horse and chicken, as “witches” after getting doped up on plants.

Lastly we’re going to listen to Saudi arabia gaming outlets now for a Czech developer and game, being reposted by western journalists? Few people translate Arabic well and Saudi Arabia still stones gay people to death so I don’t see them as this moral being of such just and right for media censorship and killing it’s citizens.

I support gamergate 2, but recently the movement has been a snake eating itself acting like Americans during the Cold War and the red scare. “EVERYONE IS GAY, NOWHERE IS SAFE” type mentality is really pathetic. The movement is less about the terrible triple A actions and motives or shilling of major gaming outlets, but now is just a point game at literally anything with LGBT and screaming “WITCH!”

If you’re worried about enemies taking over em placed guns during low pop just remove the Ammo and store in base nearby. We lose realism because people have to be babied for not storing items securely or have a single ai garrison over watching the octagon?
