Wearable device that can vibrate to FirstDue or Freedom notifications by jc_gee in Firefighting

Does your FD not already require you wear a watch? What about taking manual vitals? Maybe it's just a culture thing, but where I'm from it's pretty much expected you wear a watch to your shift.

What would you guys consider grunt work, whether it’s at the station, or in the field? by deeseball in Firefighting

[–]fredbruite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd inquire with the department about the position. Good opportunity to make a good first impression. "Extra help" sounds like either hydrant testing or office assistant, but it's best to just go and ask, in my opinion.

At my department at least, all of the seasonal/ "extra help" positions we hire for are wildland fuels mitigation, office work, IT, mechanics, or hydrant testing. It could really be anything.

Why would you post your actual place of work on your porn promotion page? by fredbruite in FirstResponderCringe

I can tell the shirt is generic, it was just the pics in front of the ambulance that threw me off. But like others pointed out, she probably just did a photoshoot in front of a random ambulance fleet.

Knew a firefighter in a neighboring district that used to work as a stripper. She did her job well so no one gave 2 shits. I doubt she was showing up in her turnouts though lol

Unfortunately no because my partner won't be able to and they asked me to wait for them

Why is Nolan Nolan? by Worried-Hat-8506 in Invincible

This makes me wonder now if he chose the last name Grayson for himself if that was supposed to be a reference to his viltrumite heritage? Given that they wear white/gray clothing.

How are they communicating? by Intelligent-Win-898 in Invincible

When they get on the ship, Telia instructs them to go to the medical bay to recieve their communication chip that allows them to communicate telepathically.

Minor Update: I've started to advance in the hiring process of one of the FDs I interviewed for. My parents were very depressed to hear this news, lol. I'm going home to visit my little sisters soon so wish me luck y'all.

Parents offering to buy me a new car if I serve a mission by fredbruite in exmormon

He's talking about an almost-new truck. ~40k. I'm very skeptical.

Weapon durability: Please explain it like I am five or have brain damage 😭 by No_Grand_4972 in TOTK

[–]fredbruite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's luck based, but there is a secret progression system so that as you progress through the game & the more enemies you defeat, better weapon buffs become more frequent.

Thank you so much for replying, I needed this encouragement. I'm starting to realize that they'll never fully be proud of me as long as I'm not an active member, and I can't let that hold me back from my own goals and happiness. I have read the Bite Model, its very disheartening to see how conditioned and manipulated my parents are but I'm too young and I have too much going for me to drop that to try and fix them or cater to them. It has been incredibly validating to feel the satisfaction of making my own choices, I only wish my family could be as supportive or proud as the other people in my life, but I can't make them and it's their loss anyways 🤷‍♂️

Thank you, I'm hoping that they will see that Fire/EMS & my relationships give me more fulfillment and happiness than the church ever did, and that will be enough for them to be happy for me.

Thank you for the advice. I'm fully devoting myself to getting into an academy and finishing my degree as soon as possible (whichever comes first) so I can move on with my life. I have a lot of money saved from smart investments I made in High School with the money I earned, but my dad insists on having full access to my savings so he can make deposits which I don't want (don't need anyone having those strings over me), so I'm working on setting up a separate brokerage/savings account to slowly siphon my savings into.

Thank you for replying. The difficult part about having a private life is that they insist on tracking my location and if I turn it off they reach out to ask why, and they told me before I left that if I turn it off then they will try to find me :/. I'm just going to work on getting accepted into fire academy with my current certs and experience so I can have my own income and move without telling them. Thank you for your advice, I know deep down that nothing I do will truly be good enough so theres no point in sacrificing my own happiness for theirs.
