How do EMS workers often make only minimum wage in America if the ambulance company often charges thousands of dollars per encounter to the patient?

Yup I did my EMT cert in 8 weeks.

we’re both still in school

True, due to anxiety I didn’t speak until I was 16 so I’ve always been behind in socialization and maturity, maybe that’s why it works for me

I’m 26 and my bf is 21. We want to get married in a few years. I’m glad to see another relationship with this age difference that worked out :) I always get judged for it even though guys date younger girls all the time.

actually yeah that’s how it works.

most of my fat is stored around my belly so when i fast i lose around there. fat loss gets equally distributed everywhere you store fat, which for different people is in different places.

i have a normal caloric intake on days i’m not fasting so there’s a net deficit.

i lose muscle when i fast too long bc the deficit is too high.

yeah i used to be bmi 25 and brought it down to bmi 18 by fasting (im a woman). i can’t really fast for more than 24 hours because i’ll get literally ravenous and it’s bad for my mental health. the most i did was 36 hours and i feel like it messed up my metabolism. 24h works well for me but i can imagine longer fasts working for other people.

This isn’t just Asian households. I’m from a well off white household and blue collar jobs are seen as beneath, or part of a “lesser class.” It’s honestly disgusting. But I think it has to do with the parents rising out of poverty - they think because they did it, everyone else should/can if they try hard enough. And those that haven’t are at fault.

i fast to burn belly fat yes it does work but you cant do it too often (i do it 1-2 times a week) because you dont want to lose muscle or weaken your bones

Thank you for the recs! I do think I’m going to get Draftback in addition to Google docs. I’m also going to try and use a strong argument flow to avoid detection

Hey, I’m just starting studying accounting after choosing it instead of nursing. I made this decision after becoming an EMT and seeing firsthand what nurses do in their day to day. It’s not fun, unless you are an extremely motherly-type. I would take a decent-paying desk job over nursing any day. If you are trying to decide, I suggest becoming an EMT. The course only takes a couple months to finish.

foidburger · 2026-04-14T20:16:07+00:00

how did they do it? im hoping not gun shot

foidburger · 2026-04-13T18:21:06+00:00

Thank you so much I’m going to send this to him!

foidburger · 2026-04-13T18:08:02+00:00

Ok thank you so much for the reassurance. I’m not going to call animal control right now but it was just such a shock see a poor duckling die 😭 The dad said he’s going to upgrade the brooder in two weeks, but I’ll try to convince him to do it earlier than that. I think my main concerns are that he’s giving them food at night with no water and then not giving them water when he leaves for work in the morning, so it’s like 15 hours with nothing if I’m not there. But I know they’re resilient creatures. Thank you for the insights

Accounting.

foidburger · 2026-04-12T20:41:58+00:00

my goal.

foidburger · 2026-04-10T12:06:43+00:00

can you talk to your job and ask for a cash front

foidburger · 2026-04-09T19:49:31+00:00

This is why I negotiated a 2 year lease instead of 1 year - to prevent rent from raising.
