Is Charisma an uploadable skill? If so, I'd love to upload the entire library to displace my Charisn'tma.

It is but its a 20 sided dice roll after that. And you critically fail....

Guitar sounds fun

The ability to deal with the rush and then persistence of negative feeling whenever anything bad happens, my routine is thrown off, or even I have to do something I'd rather not, because I do not cope well with any of those, and it causes me to shut down.

The usual advice is to "bury it", "hold it" or "suck it up" for some unspecified later time, but that was basically my old coping mechanism and It Does Not Work™ any more.

So I'd like the upgraded version of that. Whatever it is. Preferably a version that won't break or occasionally malfunction (we call those "Warning signs", kids) like the original one did.

I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a while untill after the 3rd injury I realised this isn't going to be good on the long run and I stopped doing it. However, it was long enough to see what a magical power that is so I'd say that being able to posses the skills of a black belt without going thru the training would be quite nice.

People don't realise how helpless you'll feel trying to wrestle with someone who knows what they're doing. Being bigger and stronger will not save you unless you get really lucky.

Psychology.

I assume psychology is very useful for social interaction, but complicated and mid-impact enough that I personally wouldn't bother to analog-learn it.

Math, so so much math...

Playing the piano, or just singing at a professional level. Would be amazing to know, but takes years of constant practice and teaching to learn.

Medicine. If I could get an upload to make me an instant doctor, that would be amazing.

Whatever skills would result in what the deep mediators to control autonomic functions like heartrate and could mimic death. I don't just want the control thing though I want the whole kit that comes with it which would likely have some martial arts. figure like and ideal shaolin type of thing.

Being able to feel joy/happiness. I really don't understand or know what those things are but everyone says it's wonderful and awesome. So It would be awesome to experience it at least once.

I would immediately download more RAM. No hax. Really works.

How to fluently speak a foreign language. I'm A2 with French but I could live with Spanish or German as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you managed French Spanish is a fucking breeze. You know most of the nouns already and the pronouns are incredibly straightforward.
