I dunno who needs to hear this but if you're on JobSeeker and have to suffer job providers the absolute number one tip I have: DO NOT SIGN THE PRIVACY CONSENT FORM

This is what it looks like:

And this is the most important bit:

They will cry and piss and scream when you decline to give your consent because this one lil form turns the tables. Without it, they can't collect your payslips to claim a thousand tax-payer dollars for themselves every time you find a job. They can't call up your current employer and harass them for paperwork until you get fired. They can't organise a job halfway across the country and then get your payments suspended when you don't show up. All of the above requires the collection and sharing of your sensitive information, if you decline consent to that, they cannot do it.

MOST IMPORTANTLY when it comes time for you to do Work For The Dole, they can't sign you up for hard labour, because generally the hard labour is outsourced to some private slave master. The most they can do is sign you up for their own internal program (usually some course on how to use a stapler or some shit, you sit in an air-conditioned room twiddling your thumbs for two weeks, rather than risking life and limb in a chain gang). Often they won't even bother subjecting you to their own internal program because it costs them money to run it and that money is supposed to go to Sarina Russo's next gold-plated jetski. So they'll just tick you off (which says a lot about how necessary the whole mutual obligations system is and why calls for it to be shut down are absolutely right, but I digress).

So in conclusion: DO NOT SIGN THE PRIVACY CONSENT FORM. If you have already signed it you can withdraw consent at any time and I strongly recommend you do. They will beg and barter with you. I just got told the other day "but but but we can't give you food vouchers and pay for your car repairs or anything if you don't sign" and I said "I've been homeless for nearly a decade now and have never received so much as the lint out a job provider's pocket, so I'll take my chances". They will lie and threaten and sleaze as much as their alloted 45 minutes allows them to. DO NOT SIGN THE PRIVACY CONSENT FORM.

#be polite when you refuse to consent ofc #even if they're not #even if they deliberately try to get a rise out of you #don't give them other valid reasons to make your life hard #you are dealing with people who are like car salesmen but who are also drunk on power #act accordingly

Folks, stop treating your firearms like its some kind of magic shield. If you are forced to pull it, make sure you are ready to use it. Don't keep holding it in the air or pointing it, use it. At "1:43" you see the dad have to charge his pistol, twice. Either it wasn't loaded when the attack started or there was a malfunction? I don't know. But it appears, he tried to bring the slide back the first time and he doesn't pull it back far enough and has to do it a second time as he is moving to the passenger side of the car. Stop betting your life on an empty chamber.

ok, theory time 😁

if Buck is on a date in this scene, why would Ravi and Eddie be there as well?

what if it's not exactly a date, but just a "date"? like there was this auction for charity, the 118 joined in, and the three of them volunteered (or were "volunteered" by Chim) to be the "prize"? get people to bid for one dinner with a firefighter kind of thing.

Ravi is polite and friendly to his "date" but couldn't care less about the whole thing and wraps it up as quickly as possible.

Buck is enthusiastic and rambles about firefighting, and when his "date" turns to more personal questions, he talks about Tommy (with that special smile he has when he thinks of him), his "date" assumes he's gay, he tries to explain he's bisexual and the other person clearly doesn't seem to believe him, and the dinner ends on a sour note.

and Eddie... actually hits it off with his date! 😂 they get along really well and decide to continue talking over drinks at a bar.

and when Buck walks out of the restaurant and he's waiting for his Uber, he looks to the side and Tommy is there on the sidewalk, in front of the restaurant next door, apparently also waiting for an uber.... (maybe the 217 also joined in on the charity thing and Tommy sacrificed volunteered himself...)
