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.

I'd love to know how to dance, I mean really properly dance for every situation, not just a generic two foot shuffle. I've seen some people who can dance properly and they looked cool as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

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.

Playing the piano and other instruments like a master. Music conveys feelings we can’t convey otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Ability to fold a fitted sheet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

Ok, that would also be a great mundane wish for me!

Musical ability — perfect pitch, great rhythm. I'm an okay musician after years working at it, but I'd love to be better.

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Pick your battles, so to speak.

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.

If I had that technology, I would upload everything available on file. The common fictional notion that you could "fill up" your brain is wrong.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago (9 children)

Soooo..... you think the brain has unlimited data storage capacity?

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.
