Other people are sometimes amazed by my language skills. I’m German, know English pretty well, and am learning japanese since about half a year. I’m not too sure, if how many languages/how good most people speak/understand.
I’m good at being optimistic and happy I would say. I’m also very calm and rational in situations many would find themselves angry or sad. One things that definitely helps is walking. It gives you time to think and appreciate your surroundings.
And of course, I’m good with computers. I have some servers I regularly do some new stuff with, and work in Cybersecurity (as student but hey you got to start somewhere)
Building custom computers. Been doing it for close to 20 years. Servers, gaming rigs, rendering workstations, console builds, ultra budget scrap builds, custom water loops, done it all.
Writing. I’ve written a lot of fiction under a lot of pen names, have had a few stories printed (which I won’t link to for opsec reasons), and I have multiple unfinished books in-progress (and/or abandoned) on my google drive.
I have a lot of experience reconstructing whale skeletons for museums and such. I do it as a hobby with a friend of mine who is the marine mammals recovery coordinator for the state of North Carolina.
Haha I think I would describe it more like erector sets than lego but yes it is very similar. We put the whales in the ground for ~18 months and then pull them out and out them together piece by piece
I guess having strong opinions based on science, logic and empathy, if I have gathered enough evidence and knowledge about it and also being honest about not knowing enough about a topic to form an opinion on that topic. This should be the norm.
Ability: Coordinate system rotation. I can move 3d objects around in my mind with ease and it is clear in group settings that most people are not good at this.
Knowledge: heat transfer. I’ve done years of theoretical study and more years of practical application of heat transfer.
Kids should have access to CAD early in life. I grew up with it and mentally picturing, moving, and manipulating 3D objects in my mind is just second nature. I can even keep track of orientation (Front, Back, Left, Right, Top, Bottom views) with minimal effort.
I can’t picture things in my head almost at all. I used to think I was mind blind, but I’m not entirely it seems, it’s just that my ability to visualize things is paper thin. It takes enormous effort to visualize almost anything and even then it kinda just proofs, no actual rotation with information, just the idea of rotation. Can picture a tree, but I can get information from it.
Being accurate with words isn’t being pedantic. There was an opportunity to teach, I took it. That’s it. Perhaps you got that impression because text doesn’t convey intent very well. That’s alright
Besides my professional skills, which are so boring they’re not worth mentioning, I’m good at snapping my fingers? I can do both hands really fast.
Also, standing on one leg, having internal monologues that can last for hours and other useless skills :)
