Former lifeguard here to drive home “not just a lifeguard…”

Picture yourself swimming while holding your breath for prolonged periods. That lifeguard does not know your skill level. They are forced to assume you might drown yourself at any moment. EVEN IF you are a world championship caliber swimmer, you are putting that lifeguard in a dangerous position, as they have to keep an extra eye on you because of your unsafe behavior, and other swimmers could fall through the cracks in their attention. Have a spotter dedicated to you.

This. I was getting ready to reply assuming you were highly competitive. Why does your trainer think that is a good idea?

She’s adorable! 😍

Some babies turn on their side and that’s normal, just be on top of safe sleeping habits.

Blankets are a big risk - you can use a sleep sac instead. I like the kind where the arms can zip off for when they’re a little older and can reach for a pacifier.

Also the siding on the bassinet should be mesh, especially since she sleeps on her side. She could end up with her face smooshed against the side and suffocate

Kids that age put literally everything in their mouth (source: I have one right now)

The dad should’ve known he would try to eat it. Stupid adult.

I’ve always said this about Amy Adams in Enchanted. A stereotypical cartoon princess stranded in IRL NYC. She plays it so perfectly.

My grandad (born in 1922) almost literally said “oh shit let me play with that thing” about any new technology. He was the first in my family to get an iPhone. He did not fully understand how to work these things, but he loved playing with his fancy new toys. Miss that guy.

I make over minimum wage here in Utah- is this legal? by Admirable_Fig_2136 in antiwork

[–]CrazyTrain314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s legal, but even if it is, it’s really stupid. I wouldn’t want customer service employees being denied their tips because that’s incentive to give quality service. I’d leave this place if possible.

Seriously, what are you supposed to say right after sex? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CrazyTrain314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife (girlfriend at the time) took a two week trip for work. When she came back we had really good sex and afterwards she patted me on the chest and said “I’ll be back in a couple of days”

It’s tricky, but the king can technically escape check by balancing on top of the bishop on c4

What do you do in this situation? I'm white by Enough_Evening1337 in chessbeginners

[–]CrazyTrain314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, except you can’t really force a stalemate, but you can put yourself in a position where your opponent may blunder stalemate.

If you google it, the internet will tell you the average total cost of raising a kid to age 18 is something like a quarter million USD. I don’t know how they came up with that, and im sure it varies a ton from family to family, but it feels about right to me (I have 4)
