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
I have met these people and they currently run for office
Currently IN office.
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. π
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. π€¦ββοΈ
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.
What instruments do you play?
Better approach is to calm yourself by sincerely accepting that you will miss one note and just follow through - mind blank.
Many licks are built off scale structures. If your fingering is off for one note, then means every note in the scale might be one note off.
if you do miss a note, it's fine, you've already accepted it.
It's only fine when you've got your fingering back and you know where you are on your instrument again.
On piano for example, its not only about the note but which finger lands on the note. Having your middle finger where you expect your index can mess you up even if you played all the right notes up until then.
On guitar you need to know which fret you're on.
I have to agree with the other user practice is the way to go here. No amount of confidence can make up for the skill that comes with hard work.
At a certain point, a wrong note is just a new scale being born c:
Guitar fingerstyle. I think both are essential.
Shortly thereafter he dies by crossing a bridge just a few meters away from the bridge's location.

Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
