What is a skill you wish you had?

[bigpauly]

[MCheetah]

Impressing women.

But then again, I guess you said "skill" and not "magic wish." So let's just instead say, "learning foreign languages easily." It took me three goddamn years just to learn Spanish and I don't even use that! I'm living in Korea right now and can't learn Korean to save my damn life!

[bigpauly]

Have you tried watching movies in that language?

[Truth0225]

Bro don’t be so down on yourself I’m sure you can land those Korean women if you tried

[CubsterShura]

Oh, so many skills actually. Cooking (I can cook something to eat if I'm hungry but like I wish I could actually cook really good food), programming, dancing and styling my hair (my hair is always either down or in a ponytail because I can't style my hair at all). Swimming was in this list before but I'm currently learning!

[bigpauly]

That’s great!

[CubsterShura]

Hehe

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Probably just being able to learn pretty fast or coding. I want to learn either python or c++ in the future, just for fun, so it'd be nice if I was any good at that.

[bigpauly]

There are plenty of online resources. Go for it!

[letuswaltzforthedead]

I'm hoping too :)
I don't want to get stuck knowing only one language.

[bigpauly]

Knowing one makes it easier to learn others

[letuswaltzforthedead]

hmm, didn't know that but that helps. Maybe for Python especially since it's a little old :p

[bigpauly]

Old faithful

[letuswaltzforthedead]

😆
is it something you know personally, old man? 😊

[bigpauly]

Old man?
*waves cain at you

I use c# more often but I know a little python

[letuswaltzforthedead]

lmao, why are you waving a pencil at me. a cane would probably be taller than you, twice your height.
that's interesting though, how come you use C#?

[bigpauly]

😂 it’s a candy cane, alright? And look who’s talking 😒

It’s just what is used at my job really. It’s a tried and true scalable language like Java I guess

[letuswaltzforthedead]

lmao, Candy canes are good too but I think I'd eat it. And I'm still taller than you, but nearly half a foot too.
I didn't know you had to program, must be fun. Java's pretty old too so yeah, it looks pretty simple too lol.

[bigpauly]

You better not, I need that for walking! And pffft not when I wear my shoes. I don’t care what you say it counts for this purpose!

Everything is simple compared to c++ lol. It’s just the functionality you write that can be complex.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

hmpft, lol, do you actually mind your height, Paul?

and yeah, that's pretty true. C++ is a pain, which is part of the reason why I want to learn it too. At least all languages can be used to create some pretty interesting stuff.

[bigpauly]

Lol! I don’t really anymore. I think it makes me unique.

Well ok it sucks when I get bumped in crowds or like how I can’t even see out of the peephole in my own apartment. And don’t get me started on shelves at stores. But in general, I’m fine with it.

Yes, if you learn c++ you can learn anything. And they can all do cool things!

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Yeah, I imagine it'd be annoying in those ways lol. I have almost fallen so many times trying to reach for something that's high up for no reason at all. It's definitely something that makes you different :p
How many languages do you know, by the way?

[bigpauly]

Yes and I hate having to ask for help still, lol.

I only really know like 2 kind of well. I know bits of 5 different languages.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

That's interesting, I know people who do that with human/regular/I don't know languages but with programming, I'm guessing it's pretty useful
If you can ask for help, you probably should a lot of the time. whenever I do, my sibling just grabs the item I'm trying to reach and place it higher so I definitely can't 😔

[bigpauly]

There are similarities as far as learning goes when it comes to programming languages and actual languages.

Ugh siblings suck! I was the second oldest and still the smallest so they’d do that crap all the time. Or hold it out of my reach and say to jump 🤬

[letuswaltzforthedead]

There is, at least in the methods people use to learn them. Language is kind of funny too since it's like "this is a potato." "Kartoffel?" "no, potato." "Kartoffel, take it or leave it"
Some words are confusing.

Lmao, that's kind of funny. Being bullied when you're older than them. Having siblings is just different, they like you but they can't help but be annoying for now reason at all

[bigpauly]

Ah yes, good point!

Lmao you’re starting to sound like one of them 😒😂

[letuswaltzforthedead]

I think we'd get along then lol, either that or I've just been sibling-zoned 😔. My sib always calls me adopted so maybe that's way lol even though they were an accident baby :p

[bigpauly]

Lol everyone gets along in picking on me 😒😒😒😂

What? Are they doing it as a joke or to be mean?

[letuswaltzforthedead]

No one's being serious, it's just a little fun lol. my sib says it as a joke since we don't look the same.

[bigpauly]

Ahhh ok got ya

[JustinTheGreat]

I wish I was musically talented. I love to sing even though I’m not great at it. My voice has definitely gotten better and I could probably be a decent singer if I got some lessons. But even if I had the voice, I don’t have the talent to write or produce my own music.

[WindAtMyBack]

Drawing - I envy the heck out of people who can draw.
Playing musical instruments. There are several I'd like to play well.

I don't have a natural talent for drawing. I suck pretty bad at it. I probably have a talent for playing music but haven't put in the time to learn.

I also wish I had the skill to manage and use other skills. Skills themselves don't matter nearly as much as what you do with what you've got.

[SaoirseS]

It varies all the time, usually when I’m confronted with something I have a need to do but don’t know how. A few weeks ago it was “I wish I knew how to make balloon animals.” I had a balloon animal emergency on my hands. Fortunately I know people.

[bigpauly]

Always good to have a balloon animal maker on standby

[SaoirseS]

Fortunately I know a guy who knows a guy.

[bigpauly]

Thank heavens, lol.

[dustybiker]

I wish I could fly. Planes and helicopters.

[bigpauly]

I thought you’d have a pilots license by now 😫

[dustybiker]

I know. Delayed. Apologies.

[bigpauly]

It’s ok. Just keep being you

[dustybiker]

lol Will do. 👍🏻

[SnowedIn]

I wish I could sing and I wish I could play the piano.

[bigpauly]

You could be the new piano man! I think you could learn!

[SnowedIn]

It's worth trying...

[bigpauly]

Do it!!!

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Since I obviously suck at singing, I want to learn how to sing well.

[bigpauly]

I would love to be a good singer. Just for personal reasons

[DeeDeeDeVour]

People say I have a sexy speaking voice but when they hear me sing, they cry havoc!

[bigpauly]

Lmao

[malwins]

Yeah me too! I would not be trying to get famous at all

[FinalFantasyBro]

Someday I generally am interested in creating my own soaps and cologne as a hobby but I know it's going to be really tricky at first.

[bigpauly]

Fascinating. Never something I thought much about.

[Price511]

There are plenty, actually:
- Strong observational skills, like being able to notice even minute details within an environment.
- Swimming
- Outdoors survival
- Tailoring
- Sewing

[cryscrys1]

I’m currently learning a little Swahili basic conversation I wish I can learn it quickly but my memory is failing me

[Pohjolan]

I wish I knew how to fly a plane/helicopter.

[bigpauly]

That would be badass

[MemeSupreme]

singing

[loveslongnails]

I wish I had enough talent to compete in a sport on the professional level, and win at it!
If I can't have that, I'd wish to be one of the best musicians ever, either with an instrument or my voice!

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I envy craftsmen. I can't built or fix almost ish and those dudes can do it so easily. 😕

[bigpauly]

I’m sure they put a lot of hours into it

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

True, but it's mostly they are gifted born with a creative mind.

[Fuentes]

The skill to diagnose myself so I never get sick again lol

[bigpauly]

Being sick really is the worst, lol

[jennifer_bloom]

I wish I was better at math because I would love to work at a bank or real estate office.

[menina]

I wish I was able to draw. I'm jealous of people who can draw Lol

[Alex8736]

if it is a skill i wished for i would work hard in pursuing it but that's just me

[DancingQueen16]

I wish I could dance because i can't dance in front of other people

[JPresidente]

I've always wished I was a better athlete than I was and could have played pro sports.

[whereismyjohnny]

The skill to have all skills 😎

[whereismyjohnny]

Jk, I wish I could play the piano 😖

[bigpauly]

Get a keyboard and look up some videos on YouTube!

[whereismyjohnny]

I will. Some day in the future 😅

[bigpauly]

I look forward to seeing you perform!

[BobbieBoy666]

Control minds. Especially women and girls. 💞💞
