  • My wife handed me her phone to show me an Instagram.

    The next video auto plays, "I didn't know you were into retro gaming" she isn't, she hasn't ever been, I have no idea how it knew she handed her phone off to me, or that I was into retro gaming, I don't have much of any Internet presence, I never use her phone nor insta gram, her hobbies barely align with mine and especially aren't in the retro genre.

    I used to think there were better ways to track people and they didn't need up to the second data to properly advertise to someone, but that changed my mentality entirely.

  • I'd say the butterfly is the most energy intensive way to swim, and dead man's float is the least energy intense.

    Swimming is the best exercise you'll ever do, and you should be able to do it for most of your life. You can do it to get ripped, you can do it to rehab.

    The 2 most important things when swimming are: don't get overconfident, and don't mess around with safety. The ocean absolutely doesn't care about you, and it's amazing how little it'll take to become disoriented. Never swim halfway past where you can't see the shore, and never swim more than halfway past the longest you've swam before.

    Saltwater is generally fine if there are no nasty organisms in your neighborhood, but fresh water swimming can kill you if the water is stagnant or polluted.

    If you're looking to swim for exercise or fitness my biggest recommendation (after goggles) is get yourself a speedo/teva suit (if you don't want a banana hammock get the thigh length shorts), you'll be amazed how much further you move per stroke and how much less energy it takes to go from a to b.

    As I've said in another reply, the most efficient stroke with easy breathing is probably the backwards frog, it's very easy to learn, just pulse like a jelly fish while keeping a bit of your face out of the water.

    I'm glad you had a great experience and you're looking to continue practicing! Knowing even the basics can be life changing.

    If you ever find yourself under water and can't tell which way is up (this can happen surprisingly easy), follow your bubbles, bubbles always go up

  • Back frog is the easiest for breathing, but if you're trying to get anywhere efficiently the crawl is the fastest and easiest to breathe with

    Get yourself a pair of goggles, nobody should take the brunt of the ocean directly to their eyes. If you're interested in the ocean get a half mask that covers your eyes and nose, and honestly you can find a cheap snorkel as well and you don't need to worry much about breathing at all.

    Please be aware of local beach conditions, if there's a spot that says don't swim it's not worth the risk, even if it looks calm, hell especially if it looks calm.

  • Is this the same 3 judge panel taken at random for the 11 judges on the circuit, that has for the last 6 months always had the furthest right judges randomly assigned to it?

    Read the article and yes, yes it is. July was the first month neither of those 2 appeared in the emergency review panel, and now they're back.

    It's so fucking corrupt, I'm not sure why nobody from the media has covered this.

  • I'm really sorry to read this, I can't imagine how heartbreaking it is,

    We were in a very similar situation, 2 small slightly older girls (5) and 1 rambunctious little boy (who quickly became a very big boy), we probably messed up thinking we would need to protect the kitten from the girls, ended up exactly the opposite. (Our final solution, and reason for writing this anecdote) We bought squirt guns and guarded the favorite victim like she was the president, it's taken months, but he's finally starting to get it through his skull that we don't need to play 24 hours a day. My wife has the patience of a saint, and fortunately has gotten to work from home a lot.

    I hope you find peace, we can't rescue all of them.

  • You're asking for proof of a negative, anyone who argues one way or another, especially someone who tries to get you to believe they have the answers, is full of ****, and likely trying to take advantage of you, either knowingly or unknowingly.

  • Absolutely the biggest difference I noticed going on a weight loss injection (monjarno I believe), I still feel a bit hungry when I don't eat, but my personality doesn't change and I'm a lot less stressed about being hungry.

    It changed my perspective on how my body responds to hunger. I can still easily allow myself to over eat, but I can just as easily go all day without a meal and not be cranky about it.

  • I'm worried they'll be doctored to shit, maybe they can't release doctored versions of them because someone with knowledge of the originals would call them out (if you're that person stay safe!), but when (and I mean when, they're waiting until they've gotten all the good people out of the way before they try lying) they're going to be full of nothing but their common targets and enemies.

    Still though release the damn files, they were on your fucking desk and you gave to podcasters

  • Only The Punchline @lemmy.world

    To make a long story short

    Doctor Who @lemmy.world

    I have a theory, the current doctor when you started watching is your favorite doctor. Would this apply to you?
