The Psychology of the D11 Tongue Curse: Understanding the Underlying Issues

Have you ever had a moment when you wanted to say something, but the words just wouldn't come out? It's as if a curse had taken control of your tongue, leaving you unable to speak. This phenomenon, known as "curse got your tongue," is something that many people have experienced at some point in their lives. The curse got your tongue can happen in various situations. For example, when speaking in public or in a large group, one might suddenly find themselves at a loss for words. The fear of judgment or making a mistake can paralyze their ability to communicate effectively. Even in casual conversations, the curse can strike, causing awkward silences and stammering.

Even in casual conversations, the curse can strike, causing awkward silences and stammering. Interestingly, the curse got your tongue is often associated with situations where honesty or confrontation is required. It is common for people to avoid difficult conversations or dodge questions, fearing the potential consequences of their words.

Clubs and social structures, build vs buy, Life the Universe and Everything

My good friend Andre Steere wrote something in our epic :The next big thing that;s going save US Rally this in respone to Danster from Scotlands description of the club structure in Scotland and tat other country below them, Pommieland or Angleterre or whatever it is.

Danny,

This thread was started with tongue firmly planted in cheek. So it's kind of a catchall of ideas, good, bad, sarcastic, etc.

John Vanlandingham has been screaming "Local clubs. Look at what's successful somewhere else and copy it!" for the 15 or so years I've known him. Canuckistan does have more local motorsports clubs than we do here in "'Merica! Fuck yeah!", land of super sized everything.

I mentioned I had become dimly aware years ago and even worked together with a young journalist on a couple of magazine "features" on the differences between the US, where the competition was thin and not a lot of racing, and Sweden where Swedish Championship events were considered harder to win than World Championship events

Anyway just so you guys can have a laugh and say Jeeezuz, the fawker hasn't changed his tune in 35 years, but it does apply to us'n cause rally is organsied the same way,

Anyway hope they're legible..(There some things edited for the US readership, din't want to talk too much about working under the table, no taxes, being illegal etc)

See the photo credits.

From page 43: "A typical club race: PA system, bulldozers, flagmen and lots of spectators."

THE NEXT BIG THING TO SAVE RALLY IS BULLDOZERS.

Grassroots rally. It's what I think about.

Woah woah woah Anders, have you really taken the time to check out the specifications of these bulldozers?
What classes would they run in?
I mean a CAT D9 is packing around 400hp. And a CAT D11 has around 800hp. And both their engines are sporting at least one of those dangerous turbo things. Just what sort of restrictors would need fitted to slow the dozers down and save the children from certain doom?

That aside I do like your idea of yellow vehicles being allowed to compete, maybe there could be a class created where I could enter a Suzuki "Swift" RM250?
If I can re-engineer Mr Suzukis woeful attempts at engine development and the curse of the 2 stroke powervalve then I will get this project fired up and start smokin again!

We're gonna have to put restrictors on those bulldozers. Or only allow them to use rubber tracks, or both.

What I want to know is whether I'll need to change the shock valving on my bulldozer if I decide to sometimes run with heavy swaybars and sometimes run with no swaybars.

And please don't ruin my question with any irrelevant nonsense, such as the absence of a suspension.

If we're gonna use 'dozers I should get to use my Yanmar. It is 4wd with a diff lock and gears that are lower than Foggs business practices.

So, you're saying you need to drink while reading RallyAnarchy, or should? Maybe both??

A cocktail or two is always good for finding your way into the spirit world, or at least making you give less of a shiitake about stupid things. You don't NEED it for Rally Anarchy.

Specialstage on the other hand? Yeah, that's pretty much unreadable unless you're lit like a Roman Candle.

I've heard that when they rally bulldozers overseas, every dozer makes the road a little straighter with every pass.

This results in the dozers getting faster and faster as each one goes through, with those at the back of the pack reaching the dangerous top speeds of SEVEN MILES PER HOUR!

Grassroots rally. It's what I think about.

Back to the clubbie thing, that's sort of what is happening in Texas. After a drought of rally related events a few people that really wanted rally in Texas have groomed a couple properites, one for rallycross and the other for rallysprint. They've started a grassroots group of rallycrossers and have been introducing them to rallysprint. They help each other find appropiate donor cars and a number of them have teamed up to build rally cars and get into rally proper.

In these instances, the curse seems to be a defense mechanism, protecting individuals from potential harm or emotional pain. Moreover, the curse got your tongue can also occur when someone is overwhelmed by their emotions. In moments of sadness, anger, or intense stress, the ability to articulate thoughts and feelings can be hindered. The weight of emotions becomes too heavy, and words cannot adequately express what is being experienced internally. Dealing with the curse got your tongue can be challenging, but there are strategies that can help overcome this obstacle. Awareness of the underlying fears or emotions causing the speech impairment is crucial. By understanding the root cause, individuals can work on addressing and managing these underlying issues. Additionally, practicing speaking in front of others or engaging in difficult conversations can gradually desensitize one to the fear of being judged or misunderstood. Seeking support from a therapist or joining speech therapy sessions may also be beneficial in developing effective communication skills. In conclusion, the curse got your tongue can be a frustrating phenomenon, limiting our ability to express ourselves and communicate effectively. Whether it happens due to fear, emotional overload, or other reasons, overcoming this curse requires self-awareness, practice, and persistence. With time and effort, we can reclaim our power over our words and break free from the silence imposed by the curse..

Reviews for "Conquering the D11 Tongue Curse: Strategies for Lasting Change"

1. John - 2 stars

I found "Curse got your tongue d11" to be quite underwhelming. The storyline lacked depth and the characters were one-dimensional. The dialogue was poorly written and felt forced, making it difficult for me to connect with the story. Additionally, the pacing was inconsistent, with some scenes dragging on unnecessarily while others felt rushed. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.

2. Sarah - 2 stars

"Curse got your tongue d11" was a major letdown for me. The premise sounded interesting, but the execution fell flat. The writing style was tedious, filled with unnecessary descriptions and rambling paragraphs. The plot twists were predictable, leaving no room for surprise or suspense. The characters lacked depth and charisma, making it difficult to invest in their journey. Overall, I found this book to be a forgettable read and wouldn't recommend it to anyone seeking an engaging story.

3. Michael - 1 star

I couldn't get through "Curse got your tongue d11" past the first few chapters. The writing was amateurish and lacked proper editing. The grammar and sentence structure were consistently poor, making it difficult to follow the narrative. Additionally, the dialogue felt stilted and unnatural. The lack of character development further contributed to my overall dissatisfaction with this book. Unfortunately, this is one I would not recommend to anyone looking for a well-crafted story.
