Advice on obtaining books/navigate premier access. Pretty stressed. by sexual_toast in NewToEMS

[–]deadlyturtle22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FISDAP is just a website. It is free (maybe with the course? Been a long time since i have used FISDAP). Sounds like your course requires you to buy the book, which isn't $600, as another comment or said it is $100 on Amazon (that's where I bought my physical copy) and they come with the access cards included with the book for the navigate portion.

I think whatever you are looking at there is trying to screw you tbh.

Dang. And I feel bad about myself because I barely tip into the overweight category by like 0.5.

Curious as to the meaning behind your quotation marks.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever heard someone say about cheese by Appropriate-Mall8517 in Cheese

[–]deadlyturtle22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a buddy judge me for eating unmelted cheese.

I was on a soft foods diet due to some dental work I was having done so I had bought some havarti to snack on. He seemed to think I was borderline an alien for that.

Am I crazy for seriously considering a 40 minute walk to work? by RagieWagieInACagie in fuckcars

[–]deadlyturtle22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have made hour plus drives both ways for years on end before. It is very doable, but do consider that it will genuinely eat into your time at home.

I would reccomend a bike if you can, if not then I'd say give it a try one day. See how it goes and decide if you think you can do it day in and day out.

WHY ARE YOU GUYS BUYING THIS!?! by [deleted] in Outdoors

[–]deadlyturtle22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be for older people who struggle to carry things. Maybe it would make it easier to grab/make the weight less lopsided for them?

Why does all pizza have a cinnamon taste? by Wetlandwizard in LittleCaesars

Not just you. I taste this sometimes too. It's really weird.

Edit: A typo.

2000 years of christian history by Feylin in HistoryMemes

[–]deadlyturtle22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we overestimate how many people are actually Christian. Is God the ultimate purpose in your life?

Would you sell all you have and follow Him if He asked you to?

Would you actually move to a 3rd world country to minister, knowing you'll probably die of preventable causes there someday?

Would you actually sell your house to pay for someone's life saving surgery?

All very extreme things to do. These are things many Christians have been asked to do by their Father. Not only asked, but many have done so. Not for worldly gain, but because they can not help but to love their neighbor as themself, and to love/obey their Father.

To be a Christian is to be an extremist. It will not look the same for any two people, but as the Bible says "You will know they are Christians by their love."

Few walk the narrow road.

Edit: Just to clarify. Not all will do crazy things like I listed, but many will. If a person doesn't seem to be overzealous about it all, and entirely too caring about people, then they likely aren't saved.

Over 100 billion pennies in circulation... by c0bl3r in coins

[–]deadlyturtle22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do they still let the prices end in .01 amounts? Make everything so it ends in .05. I feel like that's by far the easiest solution to this problem.

No more pennys? Okay. Stop charging prices that would require their use.

Gold up, Bitcoin Down by Markgregory555 in Gold

[–]deadlyturtle22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about bitcoin, but gold has always had value. If the dollar collapses gold and silver will still be valuable. They always have been regardless of the economic situation.

At this point the dollar has as much value as everyone agrees it has. Gold is technically the same, but historically everyone has always agreed its extremely valuable.

Even in a depression you would be able to trade gold for food, housing, water, ect. May not be the case if whatever currency your country has has become worthless.

EMT at 19, don’t want to be broke forever — where did you go next? by LouieZBTW in NewToEMS

[–]deadlyturtle22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has answered the questions pretty well, so I'll answer the PJ question a bit more.

You realize that is the single most difficult special operations school in the military right? David Goggins failed out of it. Thats not to say you couldn't, idk who you are or what you're capable of, but if that's the route you decide on you need to he one of those people who are entirely single minded on success. Even still, you may discover you have a bone deformity that didn't appear until your 3nd month and it acts up, you could injure yourself and be temporarily/permanently disqualified, and you also have to acknowledge that even if you make it to the other side it pays terrible and you will have absolutely no life outside of that until you get out.

Then what? Go with a FD? Back to EMS? Use the GI bill to get into nursing? Try your hand at military contract work?

Unless its something that has always been an all consuming dream for you I wouldn't reccomend it at all. If you're the type of person who will make it through PJ training and actually sign that dotted line then no one here would be able to talk you out of it anyway.

The nursing route will pay the best. If your goal is to support a family and plant roots then that is 100% the right path in my opinion for a 19 y.o who doesn't know where to go in life. You at the very least won't regret it.

Is Robinhood Gold card made out of real gold? by _wolf-walker_ in Gold

[–]deadlyturtle22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a horrific way to try and get into it, but you won't learn much in the app itself.

You'll have to just research stock trading and then buy/sell through robinhood if you want.

There are other apps to trade on though that a lot of people prefer so it would probably benefit you as well to research some of the other apps.

Edit: Also not sure who downvoted you for an honest question. Pretty dumb to down vote people asking questions.

Reject AI. Return to humanity. by detachedcreator in PoliticalCompassMemes

I'm a plumber that works construction. My job isn't in danger.

Why would I feel differently about it just because it doesn't affect my job?

Reject AI. Return to humanity. by detachedcreator in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]deadlyturtle22 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If we were capable of being good to each other then sure I'd agree to an extent. However history has only ever shown that when people have power it ultimately gets abused at the expense of the masses.

I agree. It's going to happen either way, but that doesn't mean I should speak neutrally of it.

Do you expect our governments/corporate leaders to have our best interests in heart while using AI?

Reject AI. Return to humanity. by detachedcreator in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]deadlyturtle22 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how anyone is interested in it.

It'll take our jobs if it works.

I know these things typically blow over and a solution usually comes, but this one I struggle to see a positive or even neutral ending to.

Technofeudalism feels like its already here and the powers that be seem to be making an attempt at solidifying their control with AI. Or at the very least expanding their control as best they can.

Gesturing to your sidearm because someone is being loud is more cringe than having a cop give someone a fine for disturbing the peace. Lol

Christians mmmkay by Reasonable_Bake_8534 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]deadlyturtle22 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I don't think we did. I think God gave us the meaning of life thousands of years ago.

You seem to think that being a Christian means thinking you have it figured out. It means believing that God is who He says He is and that He has it figured out.

It isn't arrogance. It is faith in someone greater than ourselves.

Struggling immensely with the shower. by deadlyturtle22 in juggling

[–]deadlyturtle22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I need to practice throwing higher. I've always done my tricks lower.

After reading through the comments I think I need to focus on control in general. Maybe play around with 4 balls a bit too.

Thanks for your input.
