A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Swimming.
Swimming two lengths of the pool was a requirement for graduating high school. They got me a college student tutor. I tried and tried and never got good enough to pass. They let me slide, I suppose because they could see I was trying.
Sportzing generally has never been my thing. I learned to ride a bicycle without a problem, and I can throw and catch a frisbee. That's about it.
i think the problem is people ,when younger dont get much opportunity to learn how to swim, if you dont have access to a public or private pool often. im the same, but at the time they were letting people slide to graduation wihtout swimming, if you do an alternative.

Taking up the theme of not answering your question, Broken Social Scene - Shoreline was my first taste of a really cool nonstandard signature. ✌️
A 3-way light switch circuit.
Sarcasm.
That's funny you say that, because the only way I can hear music is by identifying the structure of the song. It seems to me that you only hear the individual notes. I hear in beats and bars, so figuring out the time signature is easy. I always know when a song isn't in 4/4 instantly.
