Good to know for future reference! Thank you!

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.
