Cool! Thank you for clarifying!
You would hope that no houses would be built in potential flooding zones, but that involves pesky things like ‘regulations’ or ‘caring about other peoples lives’.

I feel you can be somewhat aware of your own beauty in that many people typical find partners that have a similar level of attractiveness to themselves.
Also, I’ve heard there are some narcissists that are aware of their narcissism. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are trying to subvert it though.
I think you can have a rough idea of your own intelligence in contrast of others, at least within a defined scope. But there are many different types of intelligences out there so it’s a bit of a spectrum. Especially comparing things like textbook knowledge of the field, on the job experience, interdepartmental knowledge, and emotional intelligence.
A life jacket is what can help save you once you exhaust yourself fighting against a torrent of water. If you need to do something a bit reckless to save yourself or someone else, then it can help you catch your breath a bit and keep your head above water.
The thing is, if you are needing to rely on a lifejacket, the situation may already be a bit desperate. If you are able to get some kind of an early warning system, then that will go a lot farther at helping you get to safety. Getting a lifejacket could help make a difference if you are in a potential flood zone.
The rules place were a bit odd to say the least.
Both my parents saw video games as literally rotting my brain, and I mean any video games at all. This, coming from my parents that would sit on the couch watching TV for 5+ hours a day after work.
They bought games for my sibling and I when we were young and I think they regretted that we enjoyed playing them so much. I thought was a bit odd since video games are the reason I wanted to learn to read so much and are why I devoured books.
If they saw us having fun playing video games in any common area, we were told to shut our games off and do something else and lectured that we were rotting our brains. If they didn’t physically see us playing games, they didn’t tend to care that much if we played them or not.
If we ever did bad in a class, the first thing that would be blamed would be the video games and they would be taken away or hidden for awhile.
Playing online games with friends? “Not healthy, video games are rotting your brain.” We occasionally be told we needed to stop the game right now to do X thing that could have waited, even online games which you can’t pause. Not even for something like dinner or chores, but just cause my parents would say so.
Tl;dr: “Video games bad”, quit having fun, if I see you smiling playing games then there is something more productive you could be doing with your time.
