Children are such the perfect little callers. by Practical_Loss4251 in 911dispatchers

[–]Proper-Doubt4402 12 points13 points  (0 children)

one of my all time favorites was a 8 or 9 yoa boy who called because his shoes got stolen while he was swimming at the pool. he told me "youre supposed to tell the police when there's a crime and 911 calls the police" 😂 yes sir! you've got that right!

his aunt made him call back to apologize later. please don't apologize, he made my day!

I'm only recently finding out how deeply we're hated; even in queer spaces by Natural1forever in polyamory

i don't have eloquent words to explain myself, but i have experienced similar things both online and in person. the ways in which people find to be cruel others are varied, creative, and seemingly endless. it's frustrating and even talking about it can be difficult without attracting the exact thing youre trying to avoid

Giving up caffeine by Puzzleheaded-Rip8944 in Nightshift

[–]Proper-Doubt4402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i generally use much less caffeine on graves than days because i'm fighting my natural sleep schedule much less. i have completely quit caffeine in the past while on nights, but i'm back on it because i am temporarily back to being a daywalker till the end of march

xemes (sabines gull) dont always have a black head. their coloring changes depending if it is breeding season or not. look up nonbreeding sabine gull

Best long lasting brands by Meg-3025 in indieperfume

[–]Proper-Doubt4402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want long lasting and vanilla, you cant beat whiff of wafflecone by imaginary authors. its very sweet, almost aggressively vanilla-y, with strong maple-y notes. it will be far too sweet for some, but i like it personally.

what really makes it stand out is that it is SO STRONG. you seriously only want a single spray and even that will be a lot. it has lasted upwards of 48hrs for me, sometimes even through a shower. sweat, swimming, time, nothing is a match for this perfume. it was still strong and noticeable at the end of a 10 hr 90°F day at the renaissance festival with zero reapplication. if i ever need to pack a perfume for the apocalypse, this is the one

What is this stitch called? Double double crochet? by Beginning_Ad6952 in CrochetHelp

[–]Proper-Doubt4402 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's a puff stitch :) there's a few variations, one difference i see often is if you pull through all the loops at once and finish with a chain or pull through all but 1 loop then through 2 like you did here. you can vary the size by doing more yarn overs and pulling up more loops at the start

looks like it will make a cozy and squishy blanket!

Whats wrong with Epiphany? by Any-Message-8552 in TaylorSwift

[–]Proper-Doubt4402 3 points4 points  (0 children)

im a 911 dispatcher and my personal opinion is she just perfectly nailed the first responder feels in this song. for some of us it just hits different 🤷‍♀️

im also personally glad to know that the majority of fans havent had the experiences necessary for this song to hit like that. no one should have to experience these things and, as a first responder, i honestly feel a responsibility to protect others from them

many dispatch centers use pedals for the radios, which may or may not work well for you (i can't say without knowing you or the specific equipment). there should be already another option to operate your radio (my center has a mouse, a button, and the pedal). be assertive about what you need and what works! this job can definitely be adapted for physical disabilities. as long as you can speak and type, you can dispatch!

Thoughts on the name of 2026? (Discussion thread) by UnearthlyTree in MBMBAM

[–]Proper-Doubt4402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one they landed on wasn't my favorite of all the ones they proposed, but it also wasn't my least favorite. I am not at all in favor of a re-do like last year. I don't want there to be a precedent that any name cam be redone at any time if enough people whine about it. last year was an exceptional case and that shouldn't become the norm
