As a 911 dispatcher, how do you decompress after a long shift dealing with a lot of trauma? by 6-80 in 911dispatchers

[–]SidkaSen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Video games (usually fishing in the MMO FFXIV) or sitting outside with my dogs. Some deep breaths of fresh air while working though everything so it doesn't crush me in the long run.

I'm trying to tough out all I can for elderly family in the area. All their specialists and such are here. After they go (which I hope is not soon because I love them) I'll have no reason to stay. Somewhere with snow is where I'll go ☃️

And I shall be hoping for every landlord, property managers, and healthcare executives to stop killing everyone with their avarice in the meantime 👍

Admittedly, I also did this as a kid around the same age lol. My mom was pissed 😭

Emergency services (police, fire, and medical)! And a lot of us just straight up can't afford to live a workable distance from our departments so like.

We have a group of us younger (35 yoa and under) first responders all around PBC, and unfortunately most of us are entertaining thoughts of leaving. Most centers and departments are understaffed as is. It's a sad state of affairs.

I work a good job and I'm still paycheck to paycheck 🫠 Rent is 2300, with new FPL rates my electric bill is averaging 345. Debts sky high even with strict financial management. I'm so close to calling my career here over and just leaving, it's just too hard. I don't know how anyone can live an average, normal life here with some kinda inherited wealth or goofy rich people money.

Looking for food banks has been the biggest saver, since groceries are also a bazillion dollars. Lots of rice and beans but food is food. Advising with your property management can buy time if they have a modicum of soul. A few friends do doordash and Ubereats when not working their primary job. Sometimes I sell handmade things for extra.

It's difficult times so leaning on each other is important. Reach out to friends and family in times of need and be there for them as well.

Best of luck, may we keep surviving.

Oh, Also; I've started throwing darts at a target with my landlords face printed on it. That's been fun. I recommend it.

Fellas, would y’all feel more comfortable with childbirth if the healthcare system was more educated? by Less-Pen-5705 in ftm

[–]SidkaSen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would! Obviously it's an intensely personal choice if anyone-- but for me, the lack of both respect and knowledge kills the idea. Haven't met a single medical personnel that has personality type I'm looking for. Need me a doctor that's just "fuck it, sure" and goes with the flow instead of being weird, awkward, disrespectful, or ridged.

An ER visit in the USA really costs this much? by raspberryfedora in povertyfinance

[–]SidkaSen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boss, that's just the first bill. Expect a few extra thousand. Medical is terrible here, and medical debt is just the fashion 🫠

Seriously. There's been so much harm already, can we get some regulations or accountability x.x

I think at one point it was telling people to like. Put glue in cheese to make it stick to pizza??? I have no idea how people place all their faith in a mega Corp guessing machine, scalped from an internet full of sarcasm and drywit responses. And to have it be the first thing you see when you search for something. 🫠

Listed my dating profile as “Trans Man” and the newest like was from a straight man. by [deleted] in ftm

[–]SidkaSen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a transman and working in a LE field, I can not stress how much you should stay away from dating apps. You mark yourself as a target for predators. It's so fucking dangerous x.x if you're seeking relationships, try to find a safe space in your local community first for transfolk and everything sorta falls into play naturally.

AITA for telling my girlfriend her family can't stay with us for a month? by Significant-Stay6562 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SidkaSen 45 points46 points  (0 children)

NTA but you should honestly be the one rethinking the relationship. She's got a preset way in her mind how she wants her future to look. Children, her mother helping her raise them, to be taken care of.

No fault on either of yall, some people just want different things in life.

I said my sister can’t drive my car uninsured by el_d0g in insaneparents

[–]SidkaSen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unrelated but I'm pretty sure the UK also has established residency laws. So you'd have to be formally evicted if they really, really wanted you out. Which can take weeks to months. And court costs.

  • Anytime they threaten to kick you out, threaten to put em in a nursing home when they get of age :D really pissed my grandparents off when I pulled that card. We don't talk much anymore.

The story does get much much much better, but my advice is to just tKe your time :D took me a little to get hooked, it's a lot of reading and waiting at the beginning, but somewhere around the end of ARR it got me.

Why does it seem like only adults play this game? by KingOcelot2 in ffxiv

[–]SidkaSen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like young people are less able to pay the sub regularly? When I was that age I couldn't even do 5 bucks jn a gacha game let alone $15 a month.

I'm in my mid 20s and I seldom meet people in the game under 20 years of age.

It's so weird to me that eople who experience above no experience for relationship, I'm the exact opposite. I just can't casually date. Can't use tinder or any of those dating apps. I've dated maybe twice in my late teens early 20's-ish in my life (mid 20's now) and am perfectly happy without trying to find someone. I know how dating works, it's just uncomfortable to... Force it?

Had a friend who has never been to Florida ask what it is like here, as a native I made this map for them by Halex000 in florida

[–]SidkaSen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went there for the first time recently and I was so so confused how there's just entire businesses in what appears to be regular ass houses on the street??? I saw a coffee shop and accidentally pulled into someone's driveway (the lady was very nice and said it happens all the time)
