The only time I ever rescued anyone I grabbed a random styrofoam floatie board without asking. My daughters friend had an asthma attack while swimming in a lake. Maybe 200 feet from shore. I paddled as fast as I could and got her on the floatie until a boat got to us. It happened so fast. If there's kids or even young teenagers in deeper water having a floatie and constant vigilance is a must. I was the adult in charge and to this day it gives me the willies. What if I didnt have a floatie? Or was distracted? It could have been very bad. I dont think it would have ended well without the floatie.

I have the same problem with being able to tell these days, but for me it just means that people between 18-23ish look like high schoolers to me now.

Thankfully that is a turn off. I don't get why people fetishize youth so much. My ideal age for attraction has so far been heavily based on a range around my own age. As I have gotten older the range has expanded, but it is always trending older.

common people are definitely involved in your infrastructure is designed.

from electing officials who approve projects to whoever is in the design team.

plus, add the cirbcut effect, wherein accomodation for disabilities ends up being helpful and convenient to everyone.

and you are wrong about an absolutist statement of "they rather not be disabled". especially considering that in many aspects, it is society that disables them, and that can be fixed. but because of lack of representation, it is ignored instead.
