big fan of when businesses have signs that preemptively thank you for following a rule. "thank you for respecting our staff" "thank you for not smoking in the bus station." etc. its a passive aggressive power move and it works on me every time. i mean i wasn't even PLANNING on direspecting the staff but now i'm extra not gonna. they thanked me already. i've been checkmated.

According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like drowning—Dr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guard’s On Scene magazine, described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:

“Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.

Drowning people’s mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people’s mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.

Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water’s surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.

Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.

From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people’s bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.”

This doesn’t mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isn’t in real trouble—they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the Instinctive Drowning Response, aquatic distress doesn’t last long—but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.

Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:

Head low in the water, mouth at water level

Head tilted back with mouth open

Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus

Eyes closed

Hair over forehead or eyes

Not using legs—vertical

Hyperventilating or gasping

Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway

Trying to roll over on the back

Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder

So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OK—don’t be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don’t look like they’re drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, “Are you all right?” If they can answer at all—they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parents—children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

I need to get a display cabinet for my mineral samples but I don't have any more room so I need to move some of my bookcases out to the family room but I'm in the middle of renovating so it needs to wait until I've painted but I can't paint until I've replaced the windows and in order to replace the windows I need to find my tools and to find my tools I need to clean out my basement but in order to clean out the basement I need to finish up the projects that are taking up all the space down there and to do that I need to finish clearing out the poison ivy on the side of the house so I can get the rain barrels outside and anyway long story short this is how me buying a rock today is about to make me quit my job

"Red states' voting statistics are misleading because there is so much voter suppression, systemic racism, efforts to kill education, and incarceration that progressives are either silenced, denied at the polls, killed by police, or never given access to the education necessary to know their own rights and entitlements to begin with." Cheers I'll drink to that bro

"Rural Mississippi is really more progressive than New York City and REAL(tm) american rednecks are socialist revolutionaries who love black and queer people and immigrants." what in the actual goddamn fuck are you talking about in here on this day

I found a weird rock today!

I assume the white things are minerals since they don't resemble any of the fossils I'm aware of in my area. I'm gonna check in with reddit and see if anyone can help me ID it cause I'd love to know how something like that forms

[captainjonnitkessler]

God I fucking love rocks. Love the way you can just pull a random rock out of the ground and sometimes it has minerals or crystals or fossils in it. Sometimes the rocks have teeth! Sometimes they're just regular rocks and the only thing special about them is that they formed millions of years ago when the surface of the earth was like an alien planet and now it's just hanging out in your backyard. We are so blessed to live in a world with rocks

Blue State leftists will be like "my elected official's endorsement of minority rights was insufficiently enthusiastic, both parties are the same!" Meanwhile in a Red State your Facebook chats can be subpoenaed to convict you of the crime of accessing medical care.

It seems very obvious to me that almost all areas of land have been "owned" by many, many different groups over time, and most of these changes have been because of conquest.

It then follows that no singular claim to land ownership is worth enshrining as the proper one, and you need some other principle to guide how humanity should be organized.

I like "creating liberal, tolerant, affluent societies where all individuals may build their own happiness" but I understand that's a very unpopular idea.

There's a guy in my local LARP scene who looks ASTONISHINGLY like you (it is genuinely uncanny), and his larp character dresses exactly like Jonny D'Ville right down to the eye makeup. I asked him once and he has never heard of the mechanisms.

Just thought you should know about your weird Australian larping doppelganger.

If you love me, you will kill this man.
