Unfortunately, second-guessing yourself is a vital skill. Imagine if you could never change your mind after your first thought on a subject.

MAGA in a nutshell and we know the fallout. Vital skill indeed.
Political extremism across the board, really. MAGA is just has the most heinous ideology behind it.
Eh, I'd say there's a lot of second-guessing but people are just so dumb that it ends up like that anyway. And leftist extremism, while it is and can be bad in many ways, isn't as bad as right extremism.
I specifically omitted levels of "badness" because it's functionally immaterial to identifying that there's a problem in the first place. Unless of course your only goal is to win a political dick-measuring contest and not effect real lasting change.
Leftist extremism is we need to destroy society. Rightist extremism is "we need to genocide black people" yeah, pretty clear one is a lot better
Everything is good in moderation. Fear is a part of survival instinct, but it can also cause issues that lead to injury or death. Pain is important to keep us alive, but one can also die of too much of it.
not saying that would have been good for me,, but damned if they wouldn't briefly acknowledge me, and my many fiery deaths, briefly
Wholesome. 😙
Actually...yes, also intellectual. Defiantly timeless
What is it defying?
Time?
Playing Jeopardy and every time I go against my first impulse, I get it wrong. I always end up tricking myself thinking "surely, it's not that obvious." But it is always that obvious. 🤦♂️
Shortly thereafter he dies by crossing a bridge just a few meters away from the bridge's location.
an old friend coined a term for it as it applies to being a musician: the hesitation blues. it's that feeling you get right before you play your line. it's a sudden lack of confidence that usually leads to you stumbling musically. it makes it very heard for beginning bands to get their shit together as the whole act requires several people to be in unison.
however, if you've ever been confidently incorrect as a musician, you know the pain of blaring out a glaringly WRONG note.
the sword cuts both ways. the remedy is practice. this applies to things beyond music. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
It is because you know you will likely miss one note, to avoid that you focus on every single note more than usual and end up botching a total of 5. Practice doesn't really address the root cause, it just makes it impossible to fail no matter how nervous you are.
Better approach is to calm yourself by sincerely accepting that you will miss one note and just follow through - mind blank. Most of the time you will just end up hitting everything, and if you do miss a note, it's fine, you've already accepted it.
WTF... Genies don't talk
get me your genie guy
