Ugh I wish I could use one of those badass reflective helmets with the built in radios, but I’d be mocked for the rest of my life if I wore one to a single call. They are just so cool though, looks like a space fighter helmet

Biggest difference is most firefighters generally don’t even get paid, it’s volunteers waking up in the middle of the night, driving to the station, putting on gear and responding for the love of the game.

Gruff assholes yeah, but everyone I know trains two hours every week on top of a few classes a year. Also the whole point is the expectation that you’re responding to a dangerous situation. Too many times I’ve seen bystanders do dangerous stuff and yelling at them is the fastest way to notify that they are walking into danger.

smh Bazzite doesn’t even get on the list

And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific boomerang effect: the gestapos are busy, the prisons fill up, the torturers standing around the racks invent, refine, discuss. People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: “How strange! But never mind—it’s Nazism, it will pass!”

And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole edifice of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.

yikes

Imho the easiest way is to find a skill that you can learn, ideally at a school, that’s hard to learn and is stable. Then you can go into business for yourself selling that to others. Skills like accounting, home nursing, tutoring, medical care, financial advisor, IT, database maintenance, plumber, electrician, elder care, handyman. Not all of these pay super well, but they let you start your own business.

I’m not loving how childish the students act. Most are sulking and barely seem to want to be there. They act like sullen middle schoolers and not the 21yo best of the best competing. The tonal shifts are jarring, from the main character being bratty and whining and then there’s explosions and violence.

That feels like a pretty good amount per week, basically a 5mg gummy every day. I can attest I start feeling much worse when my tolerance pushes me over that amount. I’ve been up to 20 units a week and generally feel pretty awful compared to 8/week. Lately I’ll do a tolerance break past 10/week because I just feel so bleh. This was before reading this paper, so it’s interesting to see how it lines up with my experiences.
