What useful skills do you have/are learning?

[Dags90]

Well good evening to you too, jackass.

It's a serious question. Many illusionists, "mediums", etc. are aware they don't have powers but do it anyway for "entertainment" (and financial, I'm sure) purposes. James Randi, a staunch skeptic has been accused of using magic.

 

[CATB320]

Welp. I'm learning French and Japanese. And I play the harp. Also, martial arts.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Is ASP useful? If so, then that...

 

[manaman]

I am a seasoned tarot reader, and I'm learning the finer arts of astrology.

So you want to be a conman?

My most useful class right now is probably histology.

Well good evening to you too, jackass.

You are both in the wrong, less so the guy you responded to. You should probably edit out the jackass, maybe make some attempt to explain your choice and why you may or may not see it as a legitimate endeavorer.

Heck, I would like to know for myself as well. I get the impression there are defiantly people out there that think astrology is real but I see no evidence that is the case, and people believe in alien abductions and the Loch Ness monster too.

OT:

I'm stronger then I look, and I look pretty built. I am also much faster then I look. I mention this because it surprises people sometimes that I can move as fast and lift as much as I can.

I am an electrical engineer, and I ran a business for five years. I work quite heavily with automation systems mostly server controlled telemetry systems. I tried to break into robotics as well.

Lots of French in this thread, I have to learn it too though I did suck at it in school as a Canadian in Ontario taking it up to grade 9 was a nightmare as I learned nothing from grade 1-5 and thus could not manage to make it though the hire grade even though I wanted to learn. I will however be attempting to learn it as I am going to Ottawa for University but I think its mostly wishful thinking.

Further on, the saga has continued!

Apologies. I got wrapped up in something, when I started the post your post was the last on the page.

 

[Dethpixie]

I can play guitar and sing and I may pick up the bass as well. I'm always working on becoming a better writer too.

For a while I was exercising a lot and even reached the physical requirements for the US Marine Corps (just to say I, as a gamer, could) but I got really bored of that.

I want to learn to parkour but the place I live just really isn't a good place for it.

I'm also teaching myself to be ambidextrous and I'd like to learn Spanish, French, or Italian.

 

[Tharwen]

I'm learning Java.

It's easyish because I already know C# and VB, which are very similar.

 

[Jelly ^.^]

IPv6 network engineering and deployment. When the internet runs out of room in the next year and a bit, I'll have nonstop offers of work from businesses who cbf training their own staff to hande a task once and forget about it

 

[BinaryCrystal]

Java, C++, Cisco IOS, Linux server, Windows servers.
Networking (RIP, OSPF, BGP)
Weapon Identification.

If you want to ask questions go ahead if you don't understand some of them.

 

[Julianking93]

I'm learning how to write better.

I'm also learning German and attempting to learn Japanese.

Those two shall come in handy, I believe.

 

[dansaruken]

I can ollie on my skateboard, a skill which took an awful lot of time and effort. With the practical application of being seen as kinda cool.

 

[Sovvolf]

If you can count Martial Arts as a useful skill. I also know how to film, write scripts, us 3D software, do folly work and such... Not to sound arrogant but I can do most stuff, I've got too many skills to mention. I'm a jack of all trades but master of none, I think thats probably both my gift and my curse in life, I can do anything but I'll never be the best at any of them.

I guess it makes me versatile but average.

 

[LCP]

Well,

Languages: written and spoken Spanish/English

Technical: Home automation programming, Networking, Building Computers, A/V setup, fixing stuff, tool experience(not the band, although awesome)

Other... Lockpicking, Balisong Flipping, Drums...

 

[Chefodeath]

I'm honing my writing skills via a novel and I practice piano or violin everyday. That along with a whole bunch of general study.



I'm getting a philosophy degree as well, but you said useful skills.

 

[rubinigosa]

I can Speak two languages and I can Draw.Well thats the skills I have.I am trying to learn a third language.

When the axis wins world war II, you can bet your ass it'll come in handy.

 

[McNoobin]

i'm learning freestyle soccer juggling but I haven't been able to practice at all in the past, like, 8 months because I tore my ACL, and then after a month of easing back into soccer I tore my meniscus and had to get a knee scope... I have to miss playing

but while I'm waiting for my recovery I'm learning how to write in C++ since I'm making custom Amnesia stories

 

[natster43]

I know how to make a Coffee Table. Is that useful?
Also I guess I can barely speak Spanish, after 3 years of being alright at it I just started being terrible at it.

 

[Drake_Dercon]

Ce poste va être en français, seulement pour prouver que j'étais enseigné dans la langue depuis la maternelle. Et parce que je suis un enculé.*

No.

Also learning guitar (probably not so useful), Flash animation, simple robotics and as much programming skill as I can possibly manage.

And life, that too.

*This post will be in french, just to prove that I've been learning the language since kindergarten. And because I'm a prick.
