Shaq caught wind of this 7-foot-3 kid in Kemah, Texas who powered through the police academy only to fall one point short on the state exam. His whole dream of becoming an officer looked like it was slipping away right there.
Then Shaq jumped in and covered the guy’s living expenses for the next five months so he wouldn’t have to juggle a second job and could zero in on passing that test. Because of that extra push, Jordan Wilmore got back in, nailed it, and just got sworn in as a Kemah police officer.
Phoenix Fire Department has become one of the only departments in the country to employ a new, life-saving tactic to bring people suffering from extreme heat back from the brink — and our CBS News' @krisvancleave was a test dummy for it.
The treatment, which involves lots of ice and a cooler bag, usually works in just minutes, the fire department says.
If you want the benefits, without having to commit to working a consistent schedule, look for an “on-call” job with a hotel chain.

More than three years after a radiologist was accused of intentionally driving his family off of Devil's Slide, a judge dismissed the criminal charges against him, according to our partners at the Bay Area News Group.
In January 2023, Dharmesh Patel allegedly drove his Tesla off Devil's Slide in Pacifica. Firefighters were forced to cut his family, including Patel's 41-year-old wife, 7-year-old daughter, and 4-year-old son, out of the wreckage. It was a drop of 300 feet and first responders said it was a miracle they all survived. https://t.co/pCraWN9eIM

Then leave their community!
I’m so serious.
Stop being around people you don’t care to love and support so they will know not to rely on you or invite you to their life events and celebrations.
You don’t want to buy your friend a wedding or baby shower gift?
Then remove yourself
let people reintroduce themselves to you, even your closest friends. let them reintroduce their hobbies, dreams, and soul. familiarity shouldn't be a cage. love them for who they are now, not just who they were then.

not to offend anyone but at this age we should be more scared of being unskilled than single. partners come and go skills, career and self-worth are what keep you stable when life gets real.
