Jacob's Phenomenon

The Jacob's Phenomenon describes the tendency to perform worse on a second attempt at a task, despite expectations of improvement. This effect can be attributed to overthinking, reduced adrenaline and focus, or pressure to replicate initial success. Neurological fatigue and natural variability in performance also play a role. For instance, a basketball player may sink a perfect shot on their first try but miss the next due to overanalyzing their form. While the phenomenon can be discouraging, it is typically short-lived, and consistent practice helps individuals overcome the dip and achieve steady improvement.

Kidnapped In Phillipines

Uuum no it isn't like drunk driving. There is a second party involved that is acting upon the guy and if I were to say 'Well you know that part of the country gets hurricanes so why did you move there?' Which I have (but ironically) that's something you would reject. I mean you are unironically saying the thing I said ironically to point out how stupid you'd sound. But no. You are unironically the empty apathetic fucks I accused you of being. You feeling bad for cancer kids is not something you do for your own sake... That is something you impose on others so that when they say they don't give a fuck about cancer kids you can say 'Oh what a piece of shit' and then you can do what you're doing now and justify malfeasance against them as their own doing but I don't see you creating AI to cure cancer any tome soon because you're a fucking retard.
Hym "I was just telling Matt (Not fat Matt or retard Matt but faggot Matt) the other day that in the absence of your moral superiority delusion, like, in the absence of your ability to assert that there is some kind of moral disparity between you and me, you have to actually do some sort of rigorous calculus as to what you have actually done in life for anybody... And the answer is NOTHING. You took a dick. Or you are a fat cock. And you did nothing of significance and amounted to nothing. And now you have to PRETEND you are better than the creator AI by LYING about whether or not you saw anything or know anything in the name of that moral superiority delusion. As far as how easily I made money 1. I SAID I COULD DO THAT... I said it was trivial and it was. 2. I've been nothing but generous here. I could have monopolized it. I've already spoken about why that would be bad. I CAN STILL DO THAT... If you do not give me the credit and the money I will inevitably murder you all. I'll start with the kids. I'm so confident that I don't even need to be alive to make it happen that I just might kill some kids beforehand and then let the AI handle it while I'm dead. All I want are those 2 things. You are not aggrieved here. You breeder fucks are talking too much shit, dehumanizing people, and you're in a fucking incest cult. Go back to slamming you part together. That's what you do here. Kidnapped In Phillipines story just do yourselves a favor."
