Sailing@lemmy.world•What is the implication when you ask if someone can swim?English
6·2 年前Seems like a basic safety/planning kind of question since you’d be in the middle of a body of water
I think so, too. Swimming with a life jacket in my opinion is more difficult than swimming without one. However, I would think that treading water is more difficult than swimming with a life jacket so maybe if swimming with a life jacket is the expectation, then that’s ok.

Sailing@lemmy.world•Process of sailing - please help me to confirm my understandingEnglish
1·2 年前Backing it up one step further, a common beginner mistake is to decide on a destination irrespective of the wind direction. This sometimes makes sailing more difficult than it needs to be and can result in the unnecessary torturing of guests as the captain stubbornly pounds into wind and wave to achieve a destination not superior to other options that would provide a more congenial travel experience.
this is really helpful, thank you!

1·2 年前Not sure what that means but yeah, no health plan or stock options. There’s a 401K with some matching. It’s just the salary with the bonus.

Ignoring the fact that gender dysphoria is a real thing whereas hysteria isn’t,
I’m not sure how you can make this your premise; back then hysteria was very much “a real thing”. Also one could say that doctors have manipulated people undergoing surgery now into giving consent
socialism has been shown to be worse,
uh…
I got downvoted recently for saying “If you’re friends with someone, wouldn’t you want to know if they’re also friends with someone problematic?” and “I would definitely want to know if my friends were close with people who’d been in prison.”

1·2 年前Though to an extent, the lack of community, especially amongst children is due to the complete lack of independence and they have to depend on their parents to drive them everywhere.
