That's the baseline function of anxiety but it can get out of hand.

Anxiety that motivates you to accomplish a task then disappears after is good and healthy. I like this anxiety [after the fact]!

Anxiety that causes you to break down and freeze at the thought of the task is unhealthy. This may contribute to burnout but is generally an anxiety disorder.

I've had both. The latter is very real and difficult to handle as it can be self inducing. That you have to fight through the freeze and gaslight yourself, and the thought of that is impossible to handle.

A penised person with an actual good idea for a pose? What is this!? Nice valves holy shit they're cute!

Ehh... Thinking more European or urban (us) parking lots where you have much less space between rows. Usually it's hard to pull forward into the spot in the first place because you need to swing the front versus pivoting the back.

You can practically park sideways at a suburban Costco without inconveniencing your neighbor.

Solution to space between cars is not using a double wide truck/SUV nor parking like a Tesla driver.

Yeah sure, same difference to me. Just not solid on for both.

I'm partial to blinking for charging and solid for charged. Allows single color LED which is cheaper. Then if you do use multi-color or RGB you can turn red for incompatible/error.

You can get into tighter spaces and it's safer when leaving the spot for pedestrians as the driver has better visibility. At last they did before side airbags.

This is legislated in the US. Just not enforced and cars became taller since the law was written (-3ft/75ft iirc, may vary by state).

In Scandinavia they actually care about this and high beam use is part of diver training. It's nice. Also semi trucks will happily blind you with a thousand Suns if you forget. So it's rare to get blinded in night driving.

I learned by playing StarCraft on 56k modem. VoIP was not possible so you had to type fast. Style is wildly non-standard but i was typing fast enough not to see a benefit from standard style.

Oh yeah that's a good call on the characters with rothfuss. Sanderson is solid though i still stand by that part.

Im the same with reading speed. You could try finding a block of time you would otherwise just be on your phone so it feels less an jnvestment (e.g. before bed, riding the bus, or break at work). I use e-books so i don't have to remember it and opening the book is as easy as social media. Finding something you WANT to read is hard too.

If you're into fantasy then branron sanderson is great. The Way of Kings grabbed me after getiing past the prologue (bonus points for women written decently). Alternatively Name of The Wind by patrick rothfuss. If only he'd finish the trilogy...

If you're wanting to take on a larger course and you're interested in drawing realistic human figure then i suggest Riven Pheonix's Invention of Man.

Each video is 15-25min. I do 1-2 daily. I watch animes for motivation.

It uses formulas for drawing the body(in too much detail) and slowly moves away from them. Probably overkill for anime figures or whatever but proportion and consistency are what i struggle with so a structured highly detail oriented cours is what works for me.

It's hyper-detailed(many will say too detailed) but also i would otherwise know where to put things like the rib cage, shoulder blades or pelvis bones, random muscles in a dynamic pose. This are the little details that i see in shows that motivate me.

It costs $45 but the first several are on yt.
