>more than 1 language

>>733795332
Amazing.. Just amazing

>>733795470
Where do I get material to learn this stuff? Any idea ?

>>733795470

Not one of those things are essential. Are you a fucking idiot?

>>733795553
Op here... I think these skills are useful at the least so its okay works for me.

>>733795470
>lockpicking
Autists thinking they're a super criminal
>farming/agricultural skills
Have you heard of shops?
>hunting/tracking
Have you heard of butchers?
>how to start a fire
Matches/lighters are like $1
>more than 1 language
Tech makes this less and less needed

>>733795470
Seems more like skills needed to survive an apocalypse

>>733795535
/t/ and look for book torrents there
>>733795553
>lockpicking
always needed, cars, basic doors, windows.
>farming
i'd replace that with cooking if you live in the city.
>hunting/tracking
not as useful in the city unless an apolcalypse comes, but hunting means you know how to use a rifle so it is.
>how to start a fire
can replace with a lighter
>more than one language
always needed.

>>733795553
Jesus Christ
Are you a lab rat?

>>733795606
>Tech makes this less and less needed

Ask me how i know you're a virgin american.

>>733795135
Actual skills:
Basic money management
Basic cooking
Driving or cycling
Basic literacy and numeracy
Basic social skills

Anything else isn't essential

>>733795598

How are they useful? Do you fucktards know it's 2017?

Changing your tires and oil

>>733795673
>hunting means you know how to use a rifle so it is

>what is trapping and archery?

>>733795673
Thanks will try to look for those. Any other ideas ? I'm an anti social faggot trying to make myself a little more practical

>>733795553
"according to you"
>>733795535
Reading a book/youtube can teach you almost anything.
As for lockpicking, buy a cheap start set online (like 40 bucks) and just practice on doors and padlocks until you learn.
It's really not that hard, but getting GOOD and being able to open locks that have 7+ pins and high security features like Spool Pins or annoying shaped key holes are a bitch.
European locks are assss.
I got some locks when I was in Slovakia and some from Italy. Top quality shit.

>>733795677

Tell me how farming is an essential skill and I'll Paypal you $100

>>733795705
Well I'm neither, and how am I wrong?

>>733795729
Not essential but useful nonetheless. Imagine yourself lost in a forest without a connection

>>733795606
Everything about your posts says that you are a virgin neckbeard and would die in a week if shit ever hit the fan.
I'm far from what I'd call a survivalist, but those are basic easy skills that anyone can and should learn that can come in handy at any time.

>why learn how to jump start a car?? I got AAA derp

>>733795767
Will do sir

>>733795818

I don't think I've ever been lost in a forest

>>733795800
Tech will never beat knowing multiple languages, do you know how much money diplomatic interpreters make?
You actually think tech can replace them?
You think you can translate works of literature from one language to another using tech?

Please..

>>733795135
essential?
>basic first aid
>some form of striking and basic grappling
>handgun training

>>733795860

You're a survivalist and you're calling him a virgin neckbeard? Oh the fucking irony.

What are you trying to survive, dumbass?

>>733795769
you have to be a fucking city dwelling troll.
do you think your food just magically falls from the sky?

>>733795922
Reading comprehension dumbass

>>733795168
My uncle taught me

change a tire
cook a 4 course meal
iron your own clothes
there's more but I'm too tired

>>733795860
Come in handy =/= essential
If you can go a whole year without ever needing any of the skills, it's not essential. Also if 'shit hits the fan' well them I'm fucked, but so are all of you.

>>733795606
>more than 1 language
>Tech makes this less and less needed
How? Google translate? Nice, stay stupid fat man

Guys no need to debate just give your views

>>733795769
Depends really, i can tell you i have friends who own multiply assets far away from human contact deep in Norway/Denmark, they're stocked on seeds and it can last them for years.

Without the knowledge of farming it's useless, basic farming can come a long way if you're ever stuck somewhere.

>>733795922
>What are you trying to survive
life itself. universe wants you dead Anon

>>733795934

Farming isn't a skill required by 99% of the population.

What sort of idiot thinks everyone should be rearing their own cattle? What sort of idiot are you?

>>733795673
>how to start a fire

Even with a lighter you need to know the basics of building a fire. I knew a woman who thought she could light this big log in her fireplace and couldn't understand when it would just catch fire from a single match. I had to tell and show her that she had to burn smaller stuff first to build up to that log.

>>733795936
HAHAH omg right!?!?!?
It's like he didnt even fucking read my post.
>>733795922
I even said im not a survivalist, these are simple basic still you learn as a 7 year old when you go camping.
Jesus Christ, you grew up in a shitty family in a city prolly. hell prolly a nigger.
"food stamps dont magically make food appear in yo fridge"

>>733795879
Literature is easier than spoken language, scan in to a computer and print out a near perfect translation. And if you happen to be a diplomat then yes it's essential, but surprising not everyone is. Again, essential doesn't mean vaguely useful occasionally.

>>733795984
Yeah pretty much, auto translators. I can read anything written in almost any language with zero effort. You can maybe read 1 or 2 other languages with hours and hours of effort

>>733795769
Ok so maybe not "farming" but basic gardening; how to keep plants that grow food. City or not it is still a good idea to know how to check the soil for water and nutrients, and how to pollinate plants indoors.

>>733796132
Hahahahaha so funny . faggots cracking 12 yo jokes...

>>733796063

Why is there any need for someone to be able to hunt or farm? You realise we're not all rednecks, right?

>>733796137
Anything at all? Really want to fap

>>733796024
Basic planting of their own crops at the very least.
Like fuck nigger.
Even if you live in an apartment, learn how to properly take care of plants.
Put a few tomatoes cucumbers and carrots on your veranda or near a window. Save yourself like $100 bucks over the summer being able to grow your own veggies.
Try NOT living off the ramen noodles from the 7/11 faggot

Any more bikini? Any ass shots?
Thanks bro

>>733795135
Basic vehicle maintenance (Oil change, spark plugs, tire rotation).
Cooking & baking: more than just using a microwave. Including how to make your own bread from scratch.
Basic household maintenance: painting, drywall repair, replace a light switch and/or outlet.
Basic housekeeping.

>>733796316
I'm not a criminal nigger who needs to learn that to run away from the police

>>733796320

Do you know how business works? It's almost like you don't understand simple economics

>Literature is easier than spoken language

I hope you're joking, it's almost impossible to translate works of literature, poems novels and plays.

Do you even look at debats between politicians?
interpreters will always be needed, you can't convey the message by simple translation of words like a computer, stop kidding yourself.

How many languages do you speak? and by speak i'm mean FLUENT in them, i'm really curious.

>>733796320
This is actually the single dumbest thing I've read on /b/

"why bother eating healthy or exercising? were not all in the olympics."
"why bother learning how to pump gas or change your own oil? were not all mechanics."
"why bother learning how to install a light bulb or ceiling fan? were not all electricians."
"why bother learning how to make something other grilled cheese and hungry man frozen dinners? were not all chefs."
"why bother learning how to code or properly torrent software? were not all hackers."

The same argument youre using just makes you sound ignorant and useless anon.

>>733795135
to resist shitposting

Gun safety. That shit should be taught in schools again, but no libtard parents would rather never let their kids hear about guns and then act shocked when they encounter one and shoot themselves in the face

>>733796353
Replacing a light switch is far beyond entry level maintenance.

>>733796371
Don't act smart on us when you can't even grow a fucking plant you fucking moron. What can you seriously offer us for exchange for food?

Fortunately I can tell you're way too retarded for that.

I wonder what's this about her.. The time she was posted one guy started off saying he's in love with her. Probably her innocent face that I want to cum on..

>>733796395
Almost impossible? Not really, sure it might not flow well and poems won't really work, but for a normal book you can easily translate it and understand what's being said. And it's only getting better.
I speak English only, and it's the only language I'll ever need.
Honestly though, what good is being fluent in French if you're speaking to a Chinese person? Only reason to learn a second language is if it's very common where you live, like Canada has French and English. Prove me wrong

>>733796590

Big business pays me a fucking good wage. Get the fuck back to Wendys

>>733796353
Adding to the above:

Basic math: add, subtract, multiply, divide with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals...with pen and paper, not a calculator.

Reading and writing. I can not stress this enough. I have seen so many resumes that have been written by twenty-somethings that look like they were written by third graders. All simple sentences, poor grammar, even worse spelling (don't know how to spell check?), and the candidate thinks he or she should be paid six figure salaries out of the box on graduation day. These are *entry level* positions, kids. Good luck getting more than $45k as an associate help desk tech.

>>733796673
HOW MOTHERFUCKER HOW DO YOU DO THAT ?

>>733796665
I love it when fat but not obese girls wear bikinis they must know guys want to use them for sex when they present themselves like that

>>733796601
Imagine you have a house in the countryside, you get deep in debt, or your wife fucking sues you for everything you have, or you accidentally did something so stupid you're facing 5+ years in jail.

You need to get off the grid or you just want to run away, or you got old and you want to live quitely without having to face niggers in the streets 24/7 because let's face it buddy, in 20 years everything can happen.

You have that one place in the countryside stocked with seeds and basic supplies, you need to know how to farm boy.

>>733796601
Being able to be self sufficient and grow and maintain your own land and food source means you can eat even if a food shortage happens to others.
I guess it comes down to eating.
Have you heard of eating?
It's this pretty cool new fucking trend where you put food in your god damn mouth.

>>733796739

Never happened in my lifetime, kid. And if it did a few carrots in my back yard ain't gonna provide much sustenance.

>being able to use modern technology to a degree of relative safety
>at least 1 additional language
>first aid

and you need social skills because human beings have to leech off each other, it's fucking disgusting.

you need social skills so you can lie on your resume, lie to your interviewer face, lie to the next slut you wanna fuck, lie to your kids about life, lie to the poor idiot who has to be your roommate and the list just continues on and on forever.

you don't learn social skills because you actually need them, you learn them because without them everything is 1,000x more difficult.
even if you have them, you still have to pay for education and mentoring, lel.

>>733796792

Why not learns skills for things are actually might happen?

You dumb yanks are well prepared for the apocalypse.

>>733796861
I mean its okay even if it seems off topic coz its useful

hehe, I was waiting for someone to snipe out the lock picking shit.
actually my uncle was a locksmith and I learned back when I was like 12. started with just old padlocks and shit, doors around the house, etc.
It's always a nice skill. It's helped me out and friends out a bunch of times.
Plus you can work as a part time locksmith or just kinda be on call or friends and shit.
My neighbor gave me like $30 bucks just to open his apartment for him cuz he locked himself out. If had to call a locksmith it'd be like $150 for 5 minutes of work.

Nothing's gonna change THAT quickly, fatass.

But seriously, the current technology used to translate is either expensive or clunky, and neither capture nuance. It's not something that will happen perfectly anytime soon, especially since there are hundreds of languages

On the contrary you idiot, more and more people need professional interpreters, people are constantly moving to new places, and those who are older than 25 always need them to translate documents or help them in the process.

Not to mention as i already said diplomatic interpreters who are ALWAYS needed, especially Russian, mandarin, English, and French ones.

But i mean you're ignorant enough to not see that, so i'm not even surprised at your thoughts.

>>733797429
I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

It's hardly fucking essential though is it?

>>733797376
If were going to be a complete reductionist about this shit we can say that the only ESSENTIAL skills are the ability to ingest food and breath.
Hell you can go live in a cave and eat worms and still not die.
If were gunna be cunts about it, than I guess the only ESSENTIAL things are the two aforementioned.

You should know when to hold them. Know when to fold them. Know when to walk away and know when to run.

>>733795135
Its not a skill, but I have an essential concept to offer people repeatedly don't seem to understand thats kind of obvious and applies to many many things:

Your reality (everything you know) is not the whole story, and not the whole truth. Its a drop in the ocean of what is out there. Too many people act as though all they know is all there is and they fuck themselves.

In one specific context, when people complain they have no future, cant get a good job, or what not. These people know you go online, send resumes to whats available (locally), based on what they already know how to do, and what they know exists.

Not many are looking at opportunities nation wide, not many are looking for jobs they may never have thought of doing, not many are looking for government grants or loans for specific skill training that could be very short and open a million new opportunities. Not many looking for quick simple entrepreneurial endeavours. Or companies that are paying to train.

I was unemployed 3 years ago. A job agency offered to place me in a school program that would train me to work in aircraft manufacturing. They were paying 15 dollars an hour to be in school, then 30 dollars an hour on the job.

I turned it down because at the same time i was in trades training and landed a job as a carpenter. I started at 19 an hour, i make 30 now, and ill make 38 next year.

Months earlier i never thought for a second "ill just build planes" or "ill be a tradesman!!" i was coming from an ultra stressful career where i was in a management position and needed to start over again.

Both those offers were being given to kids with high school diplomas.

In that context.. Government employment centers and job agencies are your friend.

In all others: you know fuck all, and some piece of information will change everything you know.

Three (you)s in one, mmh tasty.
First one, not actually an argument. They have some benefits, but it's not anywhere near an essential skill.
Second, you can soon enough mate, accept the future.
Third, uni student doing a STEM degree.

OK fine normal human.
>how to eat
>how to do some meaningless task over and over so you can get some kind shitty worthless pay

>>733797934
How do you feel knowing that if for example you and another guy have the same degree, he has the upper hand just by knowing a second language when it comes to hiring you.

>>733797957
Yeah pretty much to be fair.

Wouldnt argue with that logic

Good luck organising EVERYBODY on the planet who grows and sells food into your strike. Then we can talk.

>>733798017
There are hundreds of skills that either of us could learn to get a better CV, so what? While he's learning a language, maybe I was learning to drive?

>>733798070
we finally agree and this makes me sad. what has life come to?
I'm glad my great grandpa died fighting Nazi's in the Ardennes.
This world would make him sick...

>>733798166
That's a very poor argument man..

>>733798230
How? Language makes a CV a bit better sure, but so does a lot of things. Why does that make language essential and other skills not?

>>733798132
You think you are obliged to anybody's food for free? Answer the question. What can you offer in exchange for food to sustain your life? If you can't trade anything material do you have any valuable skills beneficial to society? Beside whoring out your ass and mouth?

>>733798079
It's the truth.
>>733798166
Trust me when i say this, a second language or knowing three languages is way more beneficial for a company.
Also some people have two languages spoken at home, they don't "study rigorously", they're brought up knowing a second language.

>>733798292
I was talking about the learning to drive thingy.. Couldve given a better example

>>733798195
He had the same life to bud, same for all human history. Food, shelter, warmth. Welcome to life

>>733798394
If you want a job where you have to travel a lot, driving can be as useful as a language.

>>733795135
Social interraction and critical reasoning.

>>733798230
anon is saying that we can learn different skills at different times.

To further his point, whatever said skill you learn could become essential to your career/income/survival.

Guy 1 learns French and Italian, becomes a translator/tour guide in Europe.
Guy 2 learns how to drive buses/trucks, becomes a driver for a company in Europe.
Guy 2 gets lost somewhere when his GPS either fails or loses signal. Asks Guy 1 for directions.

We all learn different shit to be able to help each other anon.

>>733798391
Depends on the job though doesn't it?

>>733798394
Who the fuck doesn't know how to drive these days ? I'm just saying you could have given a better example of an alternative skill

>>733798480
This guy gets it

>>733798551
>does
Most people can drive because it's essential, so you've kind of proven the point there. And there are more jobs than being an office drone, what does a welder in a village need another language for. But he might need to get to his jobs

Mental math, I refused to use a calculator or write out my work all throughout highschool (and some college) and did everything in my head. You can only do this up to a certain level of math but doing this increases your decision making and problem solving speed like no other.

Shitty attitude friend. And i used to have it too when i was a teen.

No economic system, government, or society is without its evils. "Democracy is the worst form of government... Aside from all the others..." kind if applies to capitalism too.

In a global agenda sense sure its done a lot of damage. But no other system offers the same freedoms, incentive for innovation, and empowerment of the individual.

As it pertains globally, sure a bunch of assholes used it to fuck people.

As it pertains to you, its a system you can bend and change to your will, and you can benefit from it. Heck with the right moves you can even create decent high paying jobs instead of waiting for trump or obama or whoever your preferred candidate is that you wait for to do shit that you yourself can contribute to society as it is.

Oh man, this. Especially these days. I have no problem with who people vote for. But no one seems to know a damn thing about bias (or the fact EVERYONE is, even you. Even me.) and fact and research based reason.

ya ruby is great for everyday use and non cs tasks. this not a programming thread bud. matlab is easy to do basic calculations and array operations with, just like ruby.

non-cs people don't realize how useful a scripting language is because they're not exposed to it. i'm a lawyer and I use ruby all the time for various things. c++/java wont help anyone but developers.

>>733801353
I already know javascript from my past. Ill be rusty and i gotta get back into it and relearn a lot but cool. Good to know.

Scavenging - know what you can and can't eat/drink or how to make something edible if cook/prep is required

General weapons/combat - This is essential at first but as you progress in skill it becomes more emergency oriented

Language skill - someone else suggested too, continually challenge yourself learning languages there's free apps and it's very very useful depending where you live/travel, tech fails on this regularly. Also know dialect and slang, fit in.

First aid - know your body; if something happens, injury, poison, etc, know what to do beforehand and well enough that it's just executing a stitching, cleaning, shunt whatever, same as combat skill, basics are vital but later on is more for emergency, however both are worth preparing because emergencies=death, also some guy built his own plane in communist Russia to escape so really if all else fails just learn as much as possible about whatever

>>733801950
>dialect. Fit in.

Thats a good way to look like a faggot.

Nah but seriously i did a multidisciplinary program and my thesis combined language psychology and political science.

I had an extremely well supported hypothesis that language and slang were the biggest political dividers.

On a social level, multiracial societies are segregated and a common factor in all is how they talk. That ones subjective.

More supportable on a national scale, when you have seperate language groups in a country there is civil unrest. The further removed the language, the more severe the protests.

Spain is a good example. Catalan and Spanish are in the same language family, and they can sort of understand each other when they speak. The Catalonians march in the street, protest and vote accordingly.

The basques have a language unique from any language in europe... They use car bombs.

So i would believe this anon is right. Sounding like people is a big step towards humanization.

Off topic but I sent a girl money through PayPal for nudes. She fucked me over and didn't send anything. I think she blocked me, is it possible to block on there? What could I do now?

>>733802437
this nigga payin for nudes.

also no context

apathy
unconventional, but I believe you become more a fundamental human being when you sacrifice the need to speak and think

>>733802213
I would have thrown in common sense shit like money management and driving but really beyond what i said it's more about how you want to live, unfortunately most people however can't compare prices and put needs before wants

>>733802437
I think common sense should be an essential skill that's quite underrated

>>733802807
So is there anything I could do to get my money back?

>>733802917
report to police?

>>733802917
Doesn't paypal have a recover option? Streamers constantly get recalls from their donations, isn't this the same?

>>733802917
Yeah. Do what the girl did. Trap some faggot into paying you for nudes and then don't deliver . get yo money back cunt

How to cook their own food

Basic sewing - darning socks, replacing buttons, heming and patching pants, repairing seams.

How to swing an axe, or baseball bat, or iron pipe.

how to touch type

how to balance a checkbook, how to budget, basic money management.

How to get around - drive a car, ride a bike, take public transit, order plane or train tickets.
The basics on how to look things up on the internet.

How to survive in their local environment for 7 days - how to find food, water, basic shelter, their way back to civilization.

Critical thinking - how to spot bad thinking, how to avoid any of your own.

While this may not be essential, I believe everyone should learn something about how we lived before electronics and electrical devices. It would make rebuilding civilization a whole lot easier. It's a good idea, even if we never have to use it. At least the world won't be filled with useless plebs.

- How to cook
- Critical thinking
- Driving
- Knowing how to take care of your body via exercising and healthy eating
- Social skills
- Managing finances

>>733805116

The problem is not capacity to learn languages the problem is syntax is very nuanced and there is no way to input what you mean exactly in that particular situation for the algorithm to give you the perfect answer. That's why we use our actual intelligence to learn languages so we are fully in control when we say shit we want to say.
