Mine is fresh highschool graduates getting 2 weeks of training to go work acute, all-male forensic psychiatry. We're taking criminally insane men who are unsafe to put on a unit with criminally insane women.

...and they would send fresh high school graduates (often girls because hospitals in general tend to be female-dominated) in the yoga pants and club makeup they think are proffessional because they literally have 0 previous work experience to sit suicide watch for criminally insane rapists who said they were suicidal because they knew they would send some 18y/o who doesn't know any better to sit with them. It went about how you would expect the hundreds of times I watched it happen.

My favorite float technician was the 60 year old guy who was super gassy and looked like an off-season Santa. Everybody hated that guy because they said he was super lazy but he would sit suicide watch all fucking shift without complaining and he almost never failed to dissapoint a sex pest who thought they were gonna get some eye candy (or worse).

What's your example?

Took more than 3 years a was deferred on a few attempts for my first roomate to get accepted the police here in vancouver(he was originally trying to join RCMP) he needed more experience after a degree or 2 in ciminology before he was accepted.

They don't have to, if it's shitting on the police in English (and rightly so). The US part is implied at this point.

No its not implied. The world is bigger than one country. This is not a US exclusive place so either learn to communicate with people from wide variety of places and experience or stay confined to your echo chambers. The US is quickly becoming one of those shithole countries your felon of a president likes to talk about.

This mentallity is a form of enshittification. You have to put some effort into communicating clearly and effectively.

It's not "our" felon president, he's the ex-president. If you're going to try and take some sort of "high moral" road, know what you're talking about.

You obviously have some sort of issue or bone to pick. I don't have time for that petty nonsense. Good bye.

Americans use the title mr president when referring to former presidents, im sure its a common else where as well

Get your facts straight your own damned self. The entire MAGA movement and the fact that hes the relublican candidate for president this election calls him President Trump.

And hes a convicted felon now.

It's an accurate statement whether you like it or not

Where are you from?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

In my country:

  • federal cops are well-trained, low-paid, shit benefits, must like horses.
  • regional/muni cops are increasingly less trained, better paid, and for people who can't be the fed cops (usually background check) they can sometimes be local cops. Think about that.
  • transit cops are like regionals but can go anywhere there's transit. I don't understand it either, nor do I know how much training they need.
