    Are we seeing AFAB also now?

    Those damned firefighters saving kittens and ensuring public safety. Who do they think they are rescuing people like that??

      I hope not. As a firefighter I spend a lot of time with the public showing them we are not cops and I spend a lot of time reminding cops they are not necessary at my scenes. Our city’s FD is, for the largest part, not at all friends with the cops.

        FWIW, firefighters’ve been heroes down through history — and are the inspiration/origin of the ninja clan (legend?) in ancient Japan for the signature precision of their ladder teams, public service, and indefatigable integrity, etc.

        Thank you all, genuinely, for your service. 🙇🏼‍♂️✊🏼

        I hope not as well but what’s up with all the Magats in there? Every third neanderthal has that fascist looking shaved-sides Mullet-mohawk shit.

          for real. i have a hard enough time as an open leftist but i have found most are influenced by rhetoric that calls out horseshit like “that punisher logo - do you know the real story? you prob shouldn’t wear that? ohh don’t tread on me? who do you think does the treading?” etc.

          takes a while but they are weak and easy to wear down especially if you are also actively showing them the positive side of your attitude toward life in the community

          This is a real issue. Firefighters rule but there are way more shitty people than you’d expect. Had a friend who was an EMT till he gave it up and moved away bc he couldn’t stand the other responders.

      Funny, not long ago there was a story about firefighters letting a house burn down because the family missed their annual fee.

      I specifically asked when AFAB was going to get momentum in response, since apparently absolutism is in fashion.
