What's one skill you wish you had?

[clara red bottoms]

I am utterly devoid of musical talent, but I wish I could play the piano.

 

[spider_expert]

Just play homie, you'll improve.

 

[dick brain]

I wish I could go through US military training without having to spend four years in a desert shithole forcibly circumcising dune coons and laying the foreskins at the feet of the reptilians directly responsible for every single thing wrong with my country.

I recognize that the time/effort investment isn't something I can do. Or rather I've already decided to use that time to do other things.

Oh boy. Have you heard about this fun group of pals who do something kind of similar without working for our reptilian overlords? They're called isis and I think you'd fit right in

Nunchucks

I would love even an iota of musical talent.
My great-grandfather was a wonderful trumpet player and I tried to follow in his footsteps and play the trumpet in school band and then later in college when I was trying to woo a Mariachi trumpet player (long story) I am a HORRIBLE trumpet player. Grandpa was always so proud, but dogs start howling when I try playing.
Can't play the guitar worth shit either despite a guitar class in college.

 

[Super Malario]

I wish I could put more effort into learning how to draw, when I was growing up I had a very creative mind that compelled me to draw things even if they were shitty, but I lost that drive and passion long ago so now I'm just stuck being a lazy dumbass who keeps postponing any attempt to really try.
This sadly has been a recurring thing due to me becoming more cynical and apathetic with age.

 

[Penis Drager 2.0]

Some basic social skills would be nice.

 

[Welfare Bum]

Despite trying, I have not learned to code. That would be a game changing skill.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Programming, I'd like to get a boring but easy computer job and develop games as a hobby.

 

[Sparkletor 2.0]

Dual wielding. I stupidly put my points into two handed weapons and it didn't turn out to be as useful as I thought it was going to be.

Depending on just how green you two are, I have two recommendations:
1. The Farmer Was Replaced
It's a semi-idle/incremental farming game where you control a drone in a python-based programming language. It's cheap (free if you're a pirate), easy to pick up, open ended enough to allow you to naturally figure out when one way of doing things is better than others. and though it's not 100% faithful to the language; it introduces a lot of concepts that apply broadly to just about all languages. Couldn't recommend it enough for beginners.
2. Arduino Starter Kit
You're not gonna be able to get around dropping some cash because it's physical hardware. But it's much more practical. Follow the tutorials in the kit and you'll learn the basics of DC circuits and embedded systems for consumer electronics. The code is generally gonna be pre-written for each project so it's more recommended if you're the type that likes to learn by deconstructing a working example and reapplying relevant bits to other projects. There is also an active community of people at all experience levels that can help you if you're struggling.

I genuinely appreciate the suggestions. I'll probably look into them but I'm pretty dumb and your big words are scaring me already. The first one seems like a good place to start.

for me it's sewing, I've always thought about it and had lots of ideas of what and how to do things but it's never made it over the line from "want" to "actually try".

 

[Neodanthril]

Complete, total, and intuitive understanding of physics.

 

[Marc]

The power to forget.

 

[waratteruN]

Music, or game programming for me

I wish I was better at organization.

Fun fact, on my desktop I don't use any folders or anything, I just remember where every file is relative to another
