We are in the midst of a nationwide volunteer firefighter shortage, putting some departments at the brink of collapse.

I believe there are many factors, such as economical circumstances where people have to work multiple full time jobs to stay afloat. I believe the fixation on tech may be a contributing factor too, as younger generations are glued to their phones and video games instead of wanting to get out and get their hands dirty. Although, news sources do claim GenZ is pursuing the trades too.

But one big contributing factor I feel is the emasculation of our boys, the attacks on masculinity over the years, the way people behave, and the hostility towards white men.

Let's be honest here. I was heavily involved in emergency services years ago, and the vast majority of volunteer firefighters and those involved in emergency services as a whole were white and male. You had tougher tomboy females involved and few minorities too, but the vast majority (at least what I witnessed) were white men.

I think people seem to forget that white men mostly kept things together. Now, everything is going to shit.

For me, it's when I think of a time in which I was 10 years old and blew a raspberry while playing games in a separate room but my brother could hear the noises.

At first, I just kept doing it cause I thought the noise was funnier to me, the louder I made it. With my increased laughter came my brothers increasingly angry remarks which started with "Would you stop? That's so annoying". But after a good interval, he was screaming "STOP F*CKING MAKING THOSE NOISES!" Which of course made me laugh harder.

I kept making the noise louder, laughing at the noise, then laughing at how angry my brother was getting. This went on until I was practically in tears with laughter until his friend opened the door, looking at me like I had two heads, "Ummmm... okay, stop doing that", which made me laugh harder.

My brother summed it up, well, afterwards, "I told you to stop making that noise, you laughed, and did it again". I recognize these actions as immature even for a 10 year old at the time, perhaps, but to this day, it still makes me laugh at how angry he got over a fart noise.

What's an immature thing that makes you laugh? And did my story make you laugh?
