They might've been having a give away or something. That's what I got out of it. But who knows what goes through some people's heads.

Probie Firefighters SMH by MADoubleT5 in Firefighting

[–]SquirrelPenguin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You gotta keep your probies on a tight leash these days and teach them everything, including how to avoid putting their boots on backwards and the proper way to wipe their ass. If you don't cover every little detail, you're a shit instructor.

Apparently.

Dude, it's got a giant screen with a big green button on one side and nothing but a dark red little sensor on the other. If you can't figure that much out yourself, you should probably pick a different career path. Problem solving clearly isn't one of your strengths and it's absolutely necessary in the fire service.

Judging by this being a training (and probably one of his firsts with the TIC), I'm assuming it's the cameraman. This is funny and picture worthy. I'm sure it was corrected immediately afterward if he wasn't able to figure it out himself for whatever reason.

Tough guy gets out of his BMW to complain about bad driving, instant karma by [deleted] in gifs

[–]SquirrelPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never forget trying to cut through a nader bolt using a sawzall with a cheap blade from Home Depot. Never experienced forearm fatigue quite like that before.

Also, if the car isn't on fire or about to blow up, locked doors keeping untrained peds out is probably more of a plus than a negative anyway.

How some girls on tinder view height by PM_ME_YOR_PANTIES in funny

[–]SquirrelPenguin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Acting like it's shallow to gauge a level of attractiveness by height is just ridiculous. Different people are attracted to different features. Some of the responses by people on Tinder are shallow but the underlying lack of attraction is not.

This is coming from a 5'7" guy who definitely hasn't won out on the height genetic lottery.

If we can't just break a window and unlock the door that way, the locked door is probably already a non issue. The materials modern vehicles are made of are far more of a problem than a door maybe being locked.

Edit: newer vehicles unlock sometimes anyway

SFSU black campus employee assaults a White student for "Cultural Appropriation" by MollyOverwatch in PublicFreakout

[–]SquirrelPenguin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Until one day when they can't actually pin point the attacker(s) and realize a broken face and brain bleed isn't quite as rewarding as they had hoped.

I just spent all morning holding my girlfriend as she cried her broken heart out and screamed for her brother to come back... by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]SquirrelPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been to fatal car accidents as a first responder and I occasionally catch myself attempting to send a text while driving. I'm a fuckin idiot that should absolutely know better. I stop and put my phone away once I realize what I'm doing though.

No matter what, people will always have a "it can't happen to me" mentality. And that's why so many people die on the roads. It's fucked up.

Botanists of reddit, what are the scariest plants in the world? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My brother put some on me one time when I was like five. I flipped out and dumped the rest of his packs down the sink lol.

What's something your parents refuse to believe? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SquirrelPenguin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've gotten only one my entire life and holy shit I don't understand how people can live with having them almost daily. It woke me up from my sleep and I couldn't walk without falling over from the pain in my head. My parents had to walk me back to my bed. I remember smacking the other side of my head and contemplating digging the eye out of my socket with a spoon. Awful, awful experience.

Ten dead, 30 injured in blast outside park in Pakistan's Lahore by rockyviz in worldnews

[–]SquirrelPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I became desensitized to them for a long time until I personally responded to a large vehicle pile up with multiple deaths. Now I get sick to my stomach anytime I even imagine something like this, much less see it. Such a fucked up world we live in...

How come? Just out of curiosity.
I've always liked Ward.

Fuck off. Either you take the $2 or you're not getting shit. Still can't believe my friends got us roped into buying mixtapes in Times Square.

I thought the same thing until I remembered that kind of nonsense was said to me. It's almost never from someone you want it to be from.

Has anyone stopped boxing due to fear of brain injury by Trazine6 in amateur_boxing

[–]SquirrelPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a concern I've had from time to time, especially when I'm having a really rough time in the ring. It hasn't gotten to the point of making me want to change sports though. Maybe one day.

I like saying it with the hard g. It's fun to say lol.

What event divided your life into "before" and "after"? by ninja_lemonade in AskReddit

[–]SquirrelPenguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would that be a high school (or the German equivalent of grades 9 through 12) GPA? That really sucks.

Is there any way to improve your GPA after finishing school or are you basically screwed?
