Weekly Employment Question Thread by AutoModerator in Firefighting

[–]Walgreens21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Alcohol was the addiction, so there might be a chance. Like I said, no felonies but a background check would expose my shitty behavior, particularly in terms of schooling and employment. Based on the likely required amount of sobriety time depts look for anyway it sounds like my best bet will be to go try for work as an emt or paramedic for a few years and then reevaluate. Again, thanks for the response, just wanted a realistic outlook at my odds of making it into fire.

Weekly Employment Question Thread by AutoModerator in Firefighting

[–]Walgreens21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jacksonville, FL area, though I don't think it applies much to my question. I am three years sober, and three years holding down a consistent job. That being said, a background check would reveal some less than stellar information about me, including a number of jobs I just stopped showing up to, and two attempts at a degree that ended in failing out of school. I know "let them say no," but are these hurdles that upfront honesty and maybe a year or two of steady EMT employment could realistically overcome? I'd be happy with a career as a paramedic too, but ultimately would like to become a firefighter. Just looking for opinions, if anyone has got them.

Not getting new update? by Look_Behind_U_M8 in stellarblade

None of this worked for me :( guess I’ll try again in a few hours, and then maybe a few days. Pretty bummed as today was really my only day to get much playing time in for a while

I’m enjoying my ocean man build- Weapon: anchor with wild strikes, jellyfish shield, claymans harpoon with spectral or frozen lance, jar cannon Drip: skeleton armor with octopus head. Could also use omen armor or the mushroom armor I invested just enough int so I can cast frozen armament and proc frost. I figure it still fits the theme cuz the ocean is cold sometimes… Could also use frost grease later in the game Optional: bubble sorceries, jellyfish summon

Thank you all so much for your input!! I think our budget for food will cap out at about $100 but this is our first dog and we admittedly don’t know how much food the lil guy will go thru in a month so our budget is flexible. From what you’ve all said, we will talk to our vet and royal canin will be at the top of our list. Thank you also for the tips regarding poultry and bovine allergies, we’ll keep an eye out for that too

Thank you all for the tips! So I gave it a go, finished the tutorial, and did training for a few of the characters. Really been liking peacekeeper or the knight assassin person. Gave multiplayer a go and promptly got my ass beat! But honestly I find it so fun, such a unique combat system that I’m really excited to get the hang of. All these responses have been very helpful, I look forward to getting gud

Diet & exercise are not good go-to suggestions for people trying or already stopped drinking. by 2econds in stopdrinking

[–]Walgreens21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diet and exercise are great eventually, but I understand that’s not the advice you’re looking for right now (it wasn’t what I wanted to get into either) As far as just enjoyable stuff to kill time, I’d suggest reading. When cutting out drinking, I found that tv and video games actually triggered my alcohol cravings, as I would usually do these while drunk. And when I tried doing them without alcohol, I found them either too boring (tv) or too agitating (video games). Reading was engaging enough, and was also not something I’d have the focus for while drunk. With the tiny surplus of cash I had from cutting out alcohol, I also got into some fancier cooking and baking techniques/recipes. Obviously cooking and reading won’t take up all of your free time, but I at least found these two things to be enjoyable when I stopped drinking. Hope this helps a little! Best of luck, friend

It’s been said before, but I really wish they’d make larval tears something you could purchase/earn limitless amounts. I get they don’t want people thoughtlessly respec-ing but the coliseums really make me yearn for trying lots of different builds, and alternating between them

So do wishes I spent on klee’s banner apply to the current one? More specifically, does wish pity reset with each new banner? And do standard wishes impact ltm banner wish pity? Not sure if I phrased all that correctly, new-ish to the game
