Pool Safety

[sanada_g]

A few people have told me they can't swim so I'm sure there are more people on base who aren't confident in their swimming skills. 

Since this seems a ridiculous survival skill to not have, I will be happy to offer water safety and swimming basic instructions on Tuesday and Thursday between 7-8pm. It would start after the expedition leaves. If you are interested, let me know. 

And remember, if you don't know how to swim, don't go to the pool on your own. I don't want it closed because someone died in it.

Hmmmm....

You should still come to the first lesson.

[kirihara_akaya]

but i got a buddy now

[sanada_g]

I still want to make sure you don't drown.

Drownings are often silent and if he's filming a video thing he may not even notice you're in trouble until you're dead.

[kirihara_akaya]

why wold he be making a video at the pool?

[sanada_g]

Making videos is his job.

[kirihara_akaya]

but he doesnt make videos ALL the time

his cameara was put away when Kenya came over and we played games all night

[sanada_g]

I would prefer not to risk it.

Come to the lesson.

[kirihara_akaya]

but i got a buddy!

so i dont need the lesson now

[sanada_g]

But will he want to be your buddy every time you want to swim?

[mmmarui]

Your faith in me is super heartwarming

[sanada_g]

Drownings can happen even when family, friends, and many others are nearby. It's easy to get distracted and miss a person in distress.

[mmmarui]

Not you tho you're perfect

[sanada_g]

That's ridiculous.

During the lessons, I will have to keep a sharp watch and remain focused to not miss anything.

[mmmarui]

Yeah but like, you're the only one who knows how to focus. The rest of us are just idiots who don't know what we're doing. Maybe you can teach me how to use my brain sometime, I bet you're really good at that.

[sanada_g]

That's not true and not what I think. I don't play these games with Niou and I won't play them with you.

[mmmarui]

Well it's how you're acting. Gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume you genuinely don't know how you come off to other people, but you sound condescending as hell. And just for extra clarification, most people aren't into being condescended to.

[chickens]

Hey Marui, did you know that flatworms penis fence for dominance? And stab each other into submission?

[mmmarui]

Hey Niou, did you know that I don't care?

[chickens]

Maybe I was trying to secretly horrify Sanada away from the conversation with the talk about sex.

[sanada_g]

I have been told that written words can be confusing for people to interpret. So let me clarify, I am just concerned for those that don't have water safety skills as I see them as essential survival skills and I am well versed in drowning statistics and lead causes of incidents. I have some experience teaching others how to swim and thought to offer my help to others.

Also, for you specifically, should I not care about Kirihara's well-being?

[mmmarui]

Cool! I appreciate that. You're a good guy for offering your skills. The part I didn't appreciate was where you jumped right to 'what if Marui is fucking around with his camera instead of responsibly watching the guy who can't swim' instead of, I don't know, finding any other reason for Akaya to learn to swim. You do get how that's insulting, right?

[sanada_g]

There's no reason why something like that couldn't happen statistically.

And aren't tuber people supposed to have thick skin because they get comments from angry people?

[chickens]

Why is my name being dragged into this

[sanada_g]

Aren't you known for asking annoying questions and getting people to imply things they don't mean?

[chickens]

No. You must be thinking about someone else.
