- usednet 3y agoIn my college days I jumped in off a bridge with a French girl I met an hour before. We were both fine (I think)
- coding123 3y agoWow, I would like to hear more.
- crossroadsguy 3y agoNo, please don’t. Those Linklater films have already shown too much of (for most of the world anyway) serendipitous unrealistic European romance :)
- defrost 3y agoYou'd be inSeine if you did.

- quickthrower2 3y agoOr any river without DD! Or any near-urban seawater after a first rainfall after dry spell. Because of runoff.
- Arainach 3y agoWhat's DD in this context?
- quickthrower2 3y agoDue Diligence. Check that it is safe and clean. No obnoxious currents (generally or due to recent rainfall) for example. No debris. No disease. No sewerage. Rocks. Sudden depth changes. Things that will eat you. What about boats? Locks? Is it legal? Even then probably would want a life jacket anyway. That said back at 20 I’d just jump in on the basis that if someone else has it is probably ok. But watch what they do when a baby poos in your local aquatic centre. They don’t fuck around. Everyone is out in seconds.
- gambiting 3y agoI just cannot possibly wrap my head around why you'd abbreviate due diligence. >>But watch what they do when a baby poos in your local aquatic centre. They don’t fuck around. Everyone is out in seconds. Yeah and then they let the pumps and chlorine do their thing and you can go back to swimming 30 minutes later.
- pengaru 3y ago> But watch what they do when a baby poos in your local aquatic centre. They don’t fuck around. Everyone is out in seconds. These days nobody knows the baby pood in the pool, they wear "swimmies"; diapers designed for swimming. It's disgusting.
- skeletal88 3y agoDon't use unnecessary abbreviations that are not common without introducing them first.
- irrational 3y agoI just read the story above about a guy jumping in the river with a French girl he had met an hour before and immediately I connected DD with the girl’s cup size.
- Timshel 3y agoWhen it's 45°c again there will be enough people :D.
