Keep it light plz. For example, I am terrible terrible bowler. Just absolutely piss poor even compared to equally casual people, any time there's been some kinda get together involving bowling I have come in last by a huge huge margin. I need the bumpers. I can bowl a perfect game in wii sports tho.

FPS games as well, not really a fan and have never ever been able to hack it at them. After graphics got good enough I didn't find the perspective disorienting team sticks became the norm and I'm left handed so that was a weird thing to adjust to for me and by then it was 360 era CoD time and I wanted nothing to do with it and would just die 4 seconds into each spawn anyway.

Not having ADD even though "there's a pill for that"

Fighting games, playing any instruments, not pissing people off, having any chill

Tactical RPGs. I try every now and then to play a fire emblem game and I just straight suck ass.

Getting the seeds out of a pomegranate, I've tried literally every method and I'm convinced every video that shows people doing it is fake.

I also cannot sing and clap at the same time.

I could probably help you out a bit with older fire emblems, haven't played any since awakening. I just did an fe7 run where I absolutely stomped, there is a lot of really counter intuitive things that can help you out. One big one is that having a balanced team is for suckers. For the most part mounted units are just objectively better than anything else, focus on cavaliers and flyers, try to use your healer and dancer every turn for the exp even if you don't need the effect, archers are completely useless. Also don't wait until a unit is level 20 before promoting, I'd go closer to 15 for most units, if they're a healer promote at 10 so they can use offensive magic and gain more exp than they would just healing at a lower class. It's usually more of a baiting game, you get most of your kills on the enemy phase.

Eyeballing the amount of liquid I've poured out

For some things I can do it okay, like "measuring" vanilla extract or how much oatmilk or water for my tea but I work in a lab and regularly waste reagents/media because I think I'll need way more than I do

I'm a cook and an absolute eyeball champ, labs seem like they'd need much more precise measuring.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah for most things they are extremely precise and I don't eyeball that but for less precise things I am completely lost

Like I'll actually need maybe 20 mLs of something and pour like 50 or more and have to dispose of the excess because I can't eyeball for shit

Volume is hard to eyeball

You're probably better than you think at it. It's not just maps, it's kind of an umbrella subject, it's also how people interact with different places differently throughout history and currently, most social sciences fall under the broader geography lense.

Compassion for others where it isn't useful as a bludgeon against the right.

Almost everything.
