9 month old Baby goes bodyboarding with Dad

They know to float and hold their breath due to a natural response, which you can emulate by blowing in their faces, to which they have the same reaction. They also flap their arms and legs in a swim-like motion so that a layman might think they know how to swim.

Actually they are not strong enough nor understanding of the concept to hold their head above water to breathe. Your advice is misleading and it could be dangerous if taken in the wrong way. Babies cannot swim and are at significantly higher risk of drowning than older/stronger (even non-swimmer) children, and they're naturally shaped and weighted to float face down.

Suggesting that we have an unnatural, unnecessary fear of babies drowning in the west sounds like jenny mccarthy new-age nonsense.. we have a rational fear of babies drowning because they are at risk of drowning for aforesaid reasons, which is aside from whether this video is safe for a baby or not... some people take their babies on bicycles and in cars in at least equally dangerous environments.

No offence intended, but drowning is a serious risk for small children, and what you say is a hazardous myth... babies will survive being submerged for a short period of time, and will not try to breathe when submerged. They cannot swim and will drown if not retrieved quickly.

Babies know how to swim from the womb. Most westerners are too terrified (of everything, generally) to allow babies to try though. So they loose the skill and learn the fear.

Dupe.

And like I said in the original, babies know how to swim from the moment of birth. And the baby is not alone.

Most Adorable Taekwondo Student Creed

Babymech says...

Sorry, my bad. You said 'creed' but what I actually heard/read was "it really rubs me the wrong way getting children to ritually repeat anything without understanding what it is." I have a horrible reading disorder

messenger said:

What's the connection between that and what I said? Words and creeds are not the same thing.

Upvoted for cute, but it really rubs me the wrong way getting children to ritually repeat anything without understanding what it is and thinking it through for themselves. This is religious thinking.

Star Citizen: Drake Cutlass Commercial

Kalle says...

Its perhaps the shinyness of commercials and shipmodels compared to the very shallow gameplay that rubs people the wrong way... A reevaluation of priorities might be in order.... thats the vibe i am getting from it.

...said someone who knows nothing about the game.

the game is out..albeit in a very very early alpha state. you can play it right now, which by definition makes it very non-fictional

Kiesza - Hideaway

Yogi says...

There's gotta be a couple of nice edits in there but that was a really well done music video. The best part about doing it on a street is the depth you can get. You can see all the way down the block in the long shot and it's really friggin cool. People walking in the background that hopefully weren't a part of the video, I loved it, it was done soo well that I don't know whether they shot it 3 times on an open set, or 40 times on a completely controlled closed set.

Oh and the fact that you can see the Empire State Building WAY WAY back there, can anyone tell specifically what neighborhood this was shot in? Any New Yorkers cause otherwise I'm going to google maps and obsessing for a few hours.

UGH I'm done, it shows the street signs in the beginning, should've looked for that first.

Found it! Starts at that corner and goes up the wrong way on 12th. Ending on the corner of 12th and Wythe. You can even see the same stickers on the poles.

Russell Brand debunks David Cameron's War Mongering

plentyofdice says...

Very good to see a high profile person such as Russell Brand spreading the news and actually doing something for society. He may rub some people the wrong way, but his message is spot on. People need to take a stand, and things need to change, because our governments (and media) are absolutely in need of kicking out on their arses. I've been lurking at Videosift for bloody donkey's years, and it takes a lot to bother me enough to actually create an account for anything. So well done, RB.

Foreign Foods You’re Eating Wrong

Sagemind says...

I was at a Sushi shop lately that had all those sushi eating rules posted at every table. There are socially right and wrong ways to eat something. Why assume that you know how to act in another culture when it's different from yours.

I agree, eat how you want, but at a restaurant, you should be using the correct etiquette.

Coulthard on team orders

gorillaman says...

Would you say drawing random hands of cards is what makes poker interesting?

Racing, by whatever limited definition I assume you're using that excludes all application of intellect, isn't one tenth of Formula 1.

Actually attending the events, incidentally, is quite the wrong way to appreciate the complexities of the game. It seems to me that you're nothing more than a shallow, gawping spectacle-whore.

ChaosEngine said:

Well, that's a useful and well though out comment.

Racing is what makes F1 interesting, and quite frankly, this kind of bullshit is exactly why it's viewership is declining.

I used to be a huge F1 fan. I've actually been to two grand prix (Hungarian and German) and even I don't really watch it anymore.

Sing A Long! "My Parents Think Fox News is Real"

RFlagg says...

I have to hear the Fox News drivel every day blaring at ultra high volumes from downstairs every day. I can't wait to get out of this house again, just to escape the maddening stuff. Depressing so many people think that it is agenda free and all the others are the one that have the agenda because Fox News and often times the pulpit says so. Don't question authority, unless said authority is a demoncrat as they tend to think of the Dems...

Of course once upon a time I did too, then I started applying actual critical thinking rather than what they said, often by going "if you really think about it..." then apply some logical fallacy that sounds true enough that you repeat it and feel embarrassed later that not only did you believe it that you actually propagated the non-sense. I used to be a hardcore Christian Republican (even had posted on the Sift under another name, but could never recover the password for, defending Fox News saying how they may be to the right but that is just to balance out how far left the mainstream media's which I was lead to believe were near Pravda). Then I had problems with legislating morality, mostly Republican drug policy and became a Christian Libertarian. Then I had an issue with American style Free Market Capitalism, and felt we had to do more to help the needy and the poor as Jesus commanded us to, and I went more or less an independent leaning to the Green/Democrat.

My faith if God started waning as I had issues with so many Christians voting Republican as the party was clearly opposed to everything I was reading in the Bible, and if Jehovah was any more real than any other supposed god, such as Odin (who at least apparently got rid of the Frost Giants as I've never seen one or evidence of one), then He'd be screaming at them that is the wrong way (now to be fair, half of the Christians in this nation also feel the Dems are more Christian oriented than Republicans, and many of the more liberal of them would point out that the election and more importantly the re-election of Obama was God's way of saying just that).

Then hundreds of Christians shouted "let them die! Let them die!" over and over again at the Republican debate and Christianity lost me forever. The Republican right wanted to see people like me and my children die because my employer doesn't offer an affordable health care plan and they don't want their taxes to help with getting health insurance either. And it wasn't just about me, because even if I got a better job, somebody has to work that job, somebody has to sacrifice health insurance so some rich guy who can more than afford to pay living wages and affordable health care for all who work for him, chooses not to in order to make himself rich, and over half the Christians in this country support the position, they vote for people who want to give that rich guy more tax cuts, and cut all aid to the people he employs. They want those people to die, as they said at the debate. Confront them and they'll say no, they don't want them to die, but the people who work there should take responsibility for their own selves, and ignore the fact somebody has to work there. They seem to think that people only work where they want to work at, and that everybody at that big box retailer is working there because its what they want rather than the fact it was who called and offered the job. They seem to think that in fact, no, nobody needs to work that spot if I didn't work it, that anybody needing affordable health insurance and a living wage simply wouldn't work the people working, or I, weren't too lazy to do so, that somehow everyone working jobs not paying living wages and not having affordable health care took those jobs out of laziness and not necessity.

Hating on Phil Fish, the polarizing FEZ developer

artician says...

Just like everyone, he's a mixture of both. He's rubbed me the wrong way a few times, but he's an artist. Really it comes down to how much you can stand from people, and how much good you see out of the bad.

sixshot said:

I really wanted to watch the video... but... I just can't. I love the game FEZ for how well designed it was. And I thought I could care less who it was designed by or who thought of the concept.

The biggest problem with Phil Fish is the fact that he shows little restraint or has very poor choice of words when speaking his mind. I am all for being outspoken as long as you do it w/o pissing your playerbase off.

When FEZ was being promoted in various big name conventions (I forgot which), I posted a comment that perhaps it's better to try to finish up the game rather than promoting it and showing it off. Usually when it comes to games and unknown ones, it only takes some good word of mouth to help promote it. People will find out, one way or another. What I get is a rude reply from him.

It's unknown to me as to whether or not Phil is a nice guy or genuinely an asshole all around. But given his response to that one comment I made, I think it's the latter. I don't need the internet news media to promote the notion that Phil Fish is an asshole. All you have to do to know if he's an asshole is to disagree with him on something, no matter how small or how trivial it is.
