According to the article the top floor of the house and the roof had burned down completely. The firefighters had to bust in the door and use oxygen masks to get inside. The bunny was found inside an enclosure in one of the rooms. It was panicked and difficult to catch but they succeeded in rescuing the cute little furball. The owners are very happy about the rescue.

This is why there isn't a firefighter equivalent of the song 'Fuck the Police'.

They all have savior complexes the only difference is one has to fight unruly people and the other has to fight unruly nature. Less margin of error shooting liquid life onto spicy air.

In Australia there are dickhead ones that light bushfires so they can have their saviour fantasy by putting them out

Actually it was invented by Crassus, Rome’s richest man, who was one of the triumvirate with caesar and pompey.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We should allow people who pull similar shit to die the same way as Crassus lol

Don't tease me.

For anyone who doesn't know, Viserys' death at the hand of Khal Drogo was inspired by Crassus' alleged method of execution.

And to save other people who don't get that reference from googling it, he had molten gold poured down his throat.

In reality, the person lived outside of the city, and the county doesn’t have its own firefighters. The 75 a month is a little more than what the regular residents paid in taxes to the firefighters. Stupid is as stupid does.

I’d call that a failed state of the haven’t even got government firefighters. What other basic necessities don’t they have? Are streets also subscription based?

It’s the libertarian dream!

Id call that rural America, yall don’t realize how large some of these places are.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Since when should country size play a role in government support? There are planes ffs. If your military can operate in the middle of a desert with no utilities, you should be able to support a stable civilian management in rural places.

The guy specifically opted out of it. He could have paid the tax but didn’t, and he paid the price for it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

If you can opt out of it, it’s not a tax. It’s an insurance. Taxes pay for everyone.

Toll roads can be subscription based yes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Toll roads are for profit. Roads shouldn't be for profit.

One resident told him that, in her opinion, "I think morally the right thing would have been to put the fire out."

They think?!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeahhhh.

We've brought back Crassus' fire department from late republic rome

Dude would camp outside fires say sell it to me for nothing if they refused it burned it they sold he's their new landlord and yay your house is saved.

Wasn't there something with the word arsonist deriving from him?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Guess we'd be seeing how well they can fight a fire in the station, or their vehicles.

I think I'd be getting arrested if I saw "firefighters" (in this instance a bunch of fatasses LARPING as firefighters) standing around my house ignoring it because apparently there's no real station nearby. Because if nobody moved the truck to help and I had something large and heavy available, I'm swinging. Or flooring my truck into the side they're standing on.

Yes, I would absolutely be unhinged in that scenario and I don't feel bad for any bad thing that happens to people who have the ability to help, but do nothing. I don't give half a shit what their reason for not helping was/is/ever will be. You could have helped. You did nothing.

Poor lil dude looks petrified 🥺 Glad they were able to catch and rescue it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (3 children)

anyone know why ubo isn't catching these ads? I'm guessing the filter lists are only for us websites. where can I get some filter lists for other countries?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I also have these despite most polish language ads being blocked. Not sure why. These ads are for local candidates for the upcoming municipal election so they might be put up by the website not by some external ad provider.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

yea ubo says they're from the site itself, but they are tagged reklama so

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

yea for some candidates for something political. labeled "reklama" (ad)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Default is to have some limited universal filter (Google ads, etc) plus filters for regions your computer is set to. You can go into addon settings to activate filters for additional languages.

Most available maintained lists will show in the settings menu. There's a few additional ones you can find by googling, then you add the filter URL for it in the settings.
