If you could instantly master 1 real-life skill, what would it be and why? Example:
Electronics
>can make your own cool gadgets
>can mod existing gadgets to suit your needs
>can easily fix broken electronics, saving you a lot of money
Piano
>can compose beautiful songs
>can play all of your favorite songs
>can impress cute girls
Be specific!
getting a job
Making big money.
Martial arts
Computer programming because that shit takes ages to learn and is very useful
>>24666604
Guitar
>join band
>have thousands of 16 year old tumblr girls begging for my dick
>time i woulda spent practicing can go to more vidya
>rich enough to retire at 25
>>24666604
Getting away with crime would be a great skill to have. I could shape the world as I wish without consequences.
>>24666689
Computer programming is arguably one of the easiest things to learn these days.
>>24666754
Chicks don't go for the guys that mastered the guitar.
they go for the guy that knows the same three chords every other douche that spent 2 months with a guitar learned.
Woodcutting desu
>>24666879
Learn yeah probably, but master?
>>24666964
Still. You don't need to master it to do 99% of the shit most programmers do. Mastering would probably just slightly increase efficiency.
>>24666628
If you had picked something else you would've had a cool skill for yourself AND a much higher chance of getting a job.
Master the ways of the Jew and become a successful wageslave on Wall St. Oh wait, that's what "elite" colleges are for.
Anybody seen The Mentalistexcellent show
I want to master Jane's skill at reading people/situations, I have no doubt that someone in real life with the abilities than Jane has would allow him to pretty much rule the world if he really wanted to.
Guitar or bass
>downtuned, gutwrenching, monolithic riffs left and right
Master of 20 or more languages
Then get a job as a translator
Then work from home
Piano would be nice and cool to learn but I think you fail to understand the basics of how electronics work. Like so much so thats its almost like a childs view on such a matter that sheer knowledge is enough to somehow manifest the parts and components to build gadgets. Sure you could probably improvises by ripping about a remote for parts but there are a lot of times you'd need a specific part that you really CANNOT make on your own out of bullshit laying around your house.
>>24669837
My point wasn't that you can magically assemble shit. I'm just saying you'll have the knowledge required to make things as well and efficiently as can be done by a single human being.
Persuasion?
I'd be able to convince people all around to do my bidding
>>24670012
If that was a real-life 100% successful skill that you could apply to everyone to do everything, then that would be one of the most useful skills ever. I don't think there are master psychologists out there who can goad people into doing whatever though, no dice.
fighting, martial arts etc
it would be much easier to get through people when they know you can kick their ass in a second
>>24670110
and also ligting wouldnt be so much needed anymore
>>24666604
Moral philosophy.
I could convince anyone to act in accordance with my ethics, allowing me to create a perfect world.
I guess the skill that makes the most money, which is basically the skill that's hardest to learn but is in high demand.
Getting a gf
Willpower. Ironic, I guess.
Being able to talk my way in and out of any situation. Pretty much incredibly powerful persuasion.
>translates to jobs, gambling, women, police, pretty much fucking anything
Self discipline, so I could spend less days lying in bed at 1:30pm thinking about how I should exercise
>>24670302
do some shadowboxing, practice your punches and such
>>24666604
>>24666754
As a competent pianist and guitarist as well as a 23-year-old virgin, I'm sorry to say it doesn't help one bit
Would go for guitar. Go ahead, call me a normie, but keep in mind no man will ever manage to achieve the guitar mastery of Michael Schenker.
>>24670195
Not a real life skill bro. No one out there can convince many people of doing what he wants them to do.
>>24666689
Really doesn't take much time to learn. Took me about a month for Python, and a bit more than 2 months for C
>>24670401
What if you're not a complete sperg?
>>24666879
No it's not
Just because you went through some basic tutorial on codeacadawank or something doesnt mean real programming is easy
>>24669735
Translation is a shit field, for shit pay.
>>24670510
Doubt it would change much.
Unless you have a band, you don't get to play in public much. And if you do:
>guitar
Girls want you to sing and aren't interested if you don't
>piano
People find it intimidating
>>24666604
Chemistry
>synthesis
>qualitative analysis
>quantitative analysis
>research
>>24666604
Shoving prolapsed cow anus back in.
>>24670466
Learning Python doesn't mean you've learned Programming
It's like learning French, but only getting as far as the alphabet.
The power to manipulate people
>can get any grill to fuck you
>can convince anyone to buy your product
>can convince any one to give you money
>best speech giver
come on guys be smart mind control is god tier
>>24670592
It's not
fite me
>>24670576
What do you classify as real programming?btw easiest != easy
Lucid Dreaming
>Finally able to sky gaze from a hillside while smoking pipe weed
>Listen to chillstep in my own room on a Mars space station
>Be a jobber bro to the potential world greatest fighter. We 2d of course
>Be the group bard in a d&d inspired adventure
>Journey across post-apoc lands with just dogbro and your loyal weapon
>Barely survive off govt stipend in a shitty futuristic city
>>24672181
This
Wouldn't have to put up with real life
3D, and what you can make with it.
You're getting a waifu-sim, and you're getting a waifu-sim, EVERYONE gets a waifu-sim!
>>24666604
That's easy for me.
A master of the traditional arts.
I'm going to study to master it anyway but still, its all that makes me happy now and days.
>>24672181
>Be a jobber bro to the potential world greatest fighter. We 2d of course
>Be the group bard in a d&d inspired adventure
Jesus fucking Christ, you are one sad virign.
Master the skill of writing. Can you imagine the power you would wield being able to convert anyone to your side through writing? Or the money you could make pumping out high quality literature?
>>24672321
You're a fucking hater, fuck off
>>24672361
>Hater
Good one
>>24666604
>make an asic that can compose enjoyable music based on my thought patterns
ok what now op
>>24672298
What are traditional arts? I googled it but I'm not really sure what it means.
>>24672321
Are you the type of person who hates music and would only be willing to fight if you could with a single move?
Seduction.
Wouldn't need anything else.
>>24672468
Let's hear your aspirations, and then we'll see who's "virgin," you shitposting faggot
>>24672509
What about money and passing time? Are you gonna teach PUA and spend your time with slutty women?
Crime. Mastering the art of crime taps you into an underground market of potentially endless dirty, tax-free money. To master means to not get caught.
>>24672346
The power of the pen is so underrated. It's not by chance that all the world's most influential religions have a favorite book.
>>24672491
Paint, pencil, using physical resource and not digital application.
Philosophy? That or biology or computers to a point I could live forever and solve the problems(or at least be satisfied in some way)
>>24672181
This one is pretty fucking good imo desu senpai
I just worry that it would drive you totally fucking mad and you'd quickly commit sudoku so the dreams didn't have to stop.
>>24671243
I would say you need to be in a position to go on one of those freelance coder bidding sites, and be capable of creating at least half of the jobs in a reasonable time frame.
>>24666604
Combat
Armed and unarmed
>>24673976
I am willing to take that risk.
Plz post your own preferred scenarios.
I would like to master the ability of overcoming myself, so I can find the will and the means to off myself.
>>24669735
I would do this. Speaking other languages is pretty nice, and you can actually visit to other countries. Assuming they aren't america clones with a different coat of paint because of Westernization.
