Trying to convince the world you're not exhausted after putting all you had into something, even though you need a rest more than anybody afterward, since you tried to put over a hundred percent into it (and never had the self control to keep yourself from trying to put over a hundred into it).
The guy/girl put an impressive amount of effort into it, so it wasnt like he/she wasnt trying to live up to his/her own bullshit expectations, but could go no further when he/she had used up all his/her enormous supply of stamina.

The rabbit had to have stamina to not only start the race, but to last as long as it did at such high speeds. The turtle finished because of endurance, not stamina.

Something that seems to be a gift on the surface, though you're not actually getting anything, and are at risk of losing everything and being put out on the street (if you never fight).
Holding your breath won't do much good with a slow knife going further and further in between your ribs. The extensions of restrictions are just a Machiavellian treat for business owners to make them think they're getting something good by staying open instead of being shut down. Really, the governor is the one getting the treat.

Knowing from wxperience that you're not easy to hurt or kill isn't the same thing as claiming that it's impossibe for you to die. Just about every kid knew as a kid that they would die, and that along the way to death they would get hurt plenty of times, and that healing back to one hundred percent of who you are never really happens, though it sounds good. Just about every kid knew they bled just like any other kid, no matter their blood type. Some of the bravest souls might have been the kids that died before their 18th birthdays, but really you know this stuff as a kid.
Claiming to be invincible and knowing that you won't get hurt or killed easily is two different things. There is nobody alive that can't be hurt or killed, and there is nobody alive that can't hurt or kill (is incapable of) someone else.

If you don't like the narrative, you don't have to listen to, or read it. Just like before 2020, there was a statue for everybody, if you didn't like a statue of a Confederate soldier, you could visit a Martin Luther King statue instead.

A slingshot you can hide in your backpack as self defense against unsuspecting bullies. Aim your imaginary crosshairs at the back of the bullies head, fire, and reload.
Principal- What's in the backpack Dave?
Dave- Nothing. My mommy says I don't have to tell you anything, so I have nothing to tell you homeboy.
Principal- Well, you don't have to have a permit to carry a concealed slingshot, but if you have one tell me.
Dave- I got nothing to say to you homeboy.
Dave- Nothing. My mommy says I don't have to tell you anything, so I have nothing to tell you homeboy.
