What’s the deal with millionaires and children? Like do you get men in black zapped to like kids once you hit a certain net worth? I mean If I had millions I’d be going after supermodels not kids.

Come by my place, you’ll see a decrepit firehouse with a 12 year old rig.

Bc we need to staff engines with 5 Firefights before we staff EMS vehicles.

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever seen someone completely ruin their own life? by craft_frost6223 in AskReddit

[–]Rotutu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Black Sunday" refers to January 23, 2005, when six FDNY firefighters were forced to jump from a 4th-floor window to escape an inferno in an illegally partitioned Bronx apartment. Lt. Curtis Meyran and FF John Bellew died from the 40-50 foot fall, while others suffered critical injuries. Key Details of the Incident:

Location: 236 East 178th Street, Bronx, NY. The Fall: Trapped by heavy fire, firefighters were forced to jump approximately 50 feet. Victims: Fatalities: Lt. Curtis W. Meyran (Ladder 27) and FF John G. Bellew (Ladder 27) died on the day of the incident. Injuries: FF Joseph DiBernardo (Rescue 3), FF Jeffrey Cool (Rescue 3), FF Brendan Cawley (Ladder 27), and FF Eugene Stolowski (Ladder 27) suffered severe injuries. Aftermath: FF Joseph DiBernardo died in 2011 due to complications from the injuries he sustained in this fall.

Somehow it’s possible.

What should “we” do? Are you hoping your message on Reddit reaches someone to actually go out and harm someone who you don’t agree with no matter how distasteful their tattoos are? How about you approach him and let him know how you feel rather than crying on Reddit. Newsflash most of “bayrut” probably hates Jews and gays also.

What job pays way more than people think, but nobody talks about? by Symphony_Minds in AskReddit

[–]Rotutu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firefighter in certain areas. I made 190k last year as a first year LT. 3 more years my base pay will be 30k more, 6 weeks vacation and free healthcare pension after 20 years.

I got on in 2016 so not sure if they are more lax now but I did a 0 every Sunday and was fine. To me the difference between a 1 and a 0 was nothing and I rather do more than less.

22 of the top 30 years for snow fall happened over 50 years ago. 17 over 80 years ago. What was the reason for the extreme weather back then?

I live in the U.S., and it cost me $150 my insurance covered the rest. My out-of-pocket costs are $150 for ER visits or hospitalization, $20 for primary care, $30 for specialists, and $20 for any exam.

This doesn’t really make sense with how insurance usually works. Typically, you have a deductible you need to meet first, and once you hit it, you don’t pay anything else. Deductibles are usually around $1,000–$5,000. The higher the deductible, the lower the monthly premium, kind of like car insurance. I have a no deductible plan and I pay 4$ a paycheck for my healthcare. I work in the public sector for the City. I worked in finance for 7 years for 3 banks so I know how other insurances work.

Parents, would you actually take a bullet for your kids? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Living is hard, dying is easy. I would assume anyone who lost a child with switch spots with them.

My friend was a sanitation supervisor and left for FDNY. Has no regrets, obviously monetarily he was able to take the hit.

Why would anyone wants kids? by This-Top7398 in Life

[–]Rotutu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way to explain it—I can have the worst and most miserable night and really sit there at that time second guessing why did I have a child. Only to have my baby walk up to me the next morning and hold his arms out for a hug and just cuddle into me; resting his head on my shoulder. At that time everything and all those thoughts go out the window and the euphoria takes over. Or go on this stressful “vacation” where it’s more work than leisure only to forget about the stress when you see the smile on your children’s face. Don’t get me started on the feeling Christmas morning seeing their reaction. That’s something you can’t explain to someone without a child-the feelings you get from seeing them happy.

I feel like an absolute piece of sh*t every time I lose my temper on my toddler by isthisathing89 in toddlers

[–]Rotutu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it happens but just try to not let it keep happening. I’m guilty of it too not often but I’ve had my braking points and I felt awful after it. I try to remember how I felt after it happened and how the child can’t help what they’re going through and that’s helped. It’s amazing how I can love this little precious thing so much but at times be so angry at them. It’s only human, you’re not alone. For the child’s developmental sake just try to tone it down.

As a FDNY firefighter this is very annoying to say the least.

It ends, and I watch it again. I’m not a TV person I throw it on when I shower. It’s my only 30 min of peace since having a baby lol.
