MODERATORS
"I know how to make myself do the thing I planned to do."
The ability to perform high level mathematics and computer science tasks including programming languages and logic.
The ability to deal with the rush and then persistence of negative feeling whenever anything bad happens, my routine is thrown off, or even I have to do something I'd rather not, because I do not cope well with any of those, and it causes me to shut down.
The usual advice is to "bury it", "hold it" or "suck it up" for some unspecified later time, but that was basically my old coping mechanism and It Does Not Work™ any more.
So I'd like the upgraded version of that. Whatever it is. Preferably a version that won't break or occasionally malfunction (we call those "Warning signs", kids) like the original one did.

I moderate amount of control of my mental health
I'd love to know how to dance, I mean really properly dance for every situation, not just a generic two foot shuffle. I've seen some people who can dance properly and they looked cool as fuck.
You can dance if you want to!
we can leave your friends behind!
'Cuz your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
I do, and I love it! But I also need to face the fact that I'm not very good at it 😁
Playing the piano and other instruments like a master. Music conveys feelings we can’t convey otherwise.
Is Charisma an uploadable skill? If so, I'd love to upload the entire library to displace my Charisn'tma.
It is but its a 20 sided dice roll after that. And you critically fail....
Pick your battles, so to speak.
Musical ability — perfect pitch, great rhythm. I'm an okay musician after years working at it, but I'd love to be better.
Playing the piano, or just singing at a professional level. Would be amazing to know, but takes years of constant practice and teaching to learn.
Seconding Piano. I'm a reasonably decent guitarist, but there aren't many everyday situations where this comes in handy unless you're a professional musicians.
However, Pianos are casually placed everywhere, intended for public use. Especially in airports for some reason. I would love to woo random people passing by by flawlessly playing Hiromi Uehara or Jordan Rudess.
Auto maintenance and repair
OR
household maintenance and repair; handyman stuff
If I had that technology, I would upload everything available on file. The common fictional notion that you could "fill up" your brain is wrong.
Soooo..... you think the brain has unlimited data storage capacity?
The plasticity of the brain also gives it near unlimited storage capacity. There's a great episode of Curiosity on what obstacles would have to overcome to achieve immortality, and one of the topics it goes into detail on is brain capacity and functionality.
just to be clear when we say unlimited we are saying infinite. I do not believe for one second it has near unlimited/infinite storage in an incredibly limited volume.
There are different types of infinite. I don't get the idea that Kolanaki means more than the brain could handle.

Psychotherapy
"he's been going all night, he's a machine!"
"....I know healthy emotion regulation"
"...show me"
"Stop trying to forgive your father and forgive your father!"
being able to inspect/ appraise any item and get comprehensive details about it.
it would be great to spot antiques and famous works from garage/ lawn sales.
Ha! I'm imagining a DC comic book about "appraisal man"!!
Being able to feel joy/happiness. I really don't understand or know what those things are but everyone says it's wonderful and awesome. So It would be awesome to experience it at least once.
Kung Fu
Skateboarding. Looks so fun
How to fluently speak a foreign language. I'm A2 with French but I could live with Spanish or German as well.

The ability not to forget all things when I grow older.
"I know how to understand and speak every language with the proper accent. Wöáh."
Monkey's paw curls: You understand the literal meaning of all the words, but not the context.
Willsch fei ebbes von dä Buabespitzle?
I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a while untill after the 3rd injury I realised this isn't going to be good on the long run and I stopped doing it. However, it was long enough to see what a magical power that is so I'd say that being able to posses the skills of a black belt without going thru the training would be quite nice.
People don't realise how helpless you'll feel trying to wrestle with someone who knows what they're doing. Being bigger and stronger will not save you unless you get really lucky.
