What to look for in a drowning person

Came across this post from last summer while admining and wanted to repost – some food for thought on psychological distress, as well. Drowning doesn’t often look like drowning then, either.


The Instinctive Drowning Response – so named by Francesco A. Pia, Ph.D., is what people do to avoid actual or perceived suffocation in the water. And it does not look like most people expect. There is very little splashing, no waving, and no yelling or calls for help of any kind.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning

Now that would be awesome if it were actually possible to keep all of the irritating shit out of your life. But, it’s not. It never will be. As long as you have needs, you’ll have to deal with people you can’t stand from time to time. We’re losing that skill, the one that lets us deal with strangers and tolerate their shrill voices and clunky senses of humor and body odor and squeaky shoes.

Mr. President, I didn’t think you could do it. I thought you would stand for it. And that was enough for me. It would still be enough for me.

Really, what is so fucking hard about simply doing what you say you’re going to do when you say you’re going to do it? I know dozens of people who manage to do this in their lives. They don’t always accomplish what they set out to do but they at least VOTE for it. What the fuck is wrong with you.

LONDON—As the crisis in the Gulf of Mexico entered its eighth week Wednesday, fears continued to grow that the massive flow of bullshit still gushing from the headquarters of oil giant BP could prove catastrophic if nothing is done to contain it.

Oil industry incompetence and mismanagement worse than ever.



Having no technological advance in risk management in this industry over the last 30 years is absolute gross negligence and nothing less. I hope the people responsible for misappropriating such abundant resource fry for it. When will we get our priorities straight? When people like this start frying for not doing so, that’s when.

Unbelievable.

So whose fault is it? Hint: It has something to do with the Collective Asshole. I say just stuff the pipe with the bodies of these fucking bastards and be done with it.
