I'd upload a few languages. Instantly being able to speak and read an array of languages and traveling the world would be fun.

Guitar sounds fun
NZT-48 + CPH4 = 🧠
C2-niveau francais, s'il vous plait.
edit or as translate google would put it: niveau C2 de francais, merci.
Speaking Korean, I live here for 4 years already and despite pushing moderatelly to learn it, I don't speak it at all. Everything I learn I forget very fast again.
Time travel
You'd need both time travel and teleportation, or else you'll find yourself in space when you travel forward or back in time. The Earth isn't a stationary object
This assumes an absolute reference frame, which does not exist in this universe.
Time travel already is teleportation.
Actually, teleportation would be more powerful than time travel, since you can travel through different times as well with teleportation as an ability, but you can only teleport to a different time with time travel.
Time (and relative dimension in space) travel
Nothing is or everything is. There is no absolute motion.
Yes there is, you just can't measure it.
it's all relative. definitively relative.
that said, if you go to the matrix and ask for the power, it's not liable to give you half-assed solutions that don't take the details into account. Therefore it would already take into account the relative displacement and correct accordingly.
If I could have something magical: I'd like to be able to accelerate my thinking so I can have as long as I want to think things through
If it's gotta be real: easier to use memory, I feel like I have no idea what's going on bc I forget shit, but it's not forgotten I just didn't remember that memory at the right time even though I had it..
Talking to people hasn't been going well lately

Download more RAM. My working memory is shit (ADHD).
I thought the issue there was the processor not being able to run a single core long enough.
Or maybe it's just how the operating system works?
Have you tried Linux? I use Arch btw.
You will just be more (less?) Efficient and being efficient.
I might be a little obsessed with efficiency. Possibly due to my issues making me inefficient by nature, I tend to seek efficiency wherever I can, like some mirage in the desert of my mind.
Did I write this comment? I used to think I just did my best to deliberately waste as little time as possible to balance out all the time I waste involuntarily. Now I realize that I just can't tolerate being idle, so the moment I initiate some automated process that will take more than a few seconds to complete, I start yet another task while waiting. This looks a hell of a lot more efficient on paper than it does in reality, though...
Read and write all languages. Be it swahili, mandarin, latin, hieroglyfs, python, c++ or java. ;)
You had me until Java.
Polyglotism. Being able to speak every language would be practically a superpower.
This is a neat idea until you're in a situation where you remember 38 different words for a thing, just not the one in the language you need
I only speak one language fluently and one language extremely poorly.
The number of times I’ve been able to come up with the word I want in my second language and completely blanked on it in my native language baffles my mind.
This is why I learned the shit out of English: If I forget a word, there's like 6 more words that are close enough to the one I forgot.

Ability to play the guitar like Gilmour, EVH, Page and Hendrix.
I want to understand, intrinsically, and be able to manipulate to my liking, all the financial systems of the world.
At worst, I'd quickly become a well-paid accountant. At best, I'd become an extremely talented, untraceable, modern Robin Hood.
This would be a pretty dope tv show for about a season.
I've thought about that a lot. If I won a near bn or more lottery, could I stay grounded enough, after hiring a reputable financial planner, to found a Montessori school of high global academic standards or free health clinic, including pharmacy, that includes plant medicines, organic foods diets, where appropriate, and/or a smaller side project or two? Or would I be irresponsible and do an Elvis-type thing for my primary caregiver and for my child that's still in my life, rather than set them up with a trust, so they would be able to be truly financially independent, should their spouse pass before them? It's easy to think the best of ourselves until the moment of truth arrives. I'd hope I'd be financially responsible, hire the planner, give to my community in a meaningful, probably anonymous way (because of sudden best friends clamoring for Fendi bags and Lambos), and buy myself an old Volvo or Audi, dependable and unostentatious.
I can't reasonably spend more than like 100m, including giving millions to friends and family. Like what the fuck would I even buy? I could buy 4 lambos and 2 houses for every friend I have and every family member I talk to and barely make a dent.
Probably just donate it to whatever the best charities are for a variety of things.
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.
Medicine. If I could get an upload to make me an instant doctor, that would be amazing.
The ability to upload any ability into my mind that I can think of and be amazing at it.
Shashahshaaa!
Runs away and throws pocket sand
Found the guy that wishes for more wishes
How to people.
I have great ideas and am horrible at explaining them.

"I know how to make myself do the thing I planned to do."
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.
This is an issue CBT (not that one) can help with.
The upgrade is get a good therapist, and that can be trickier, more or less depending on your place of residence. Someone who can help you gather new tools and the skills to apply them. I wish you the best.
