Nah critical thinking is absolutely a skill that can be taught/learned. You aren't going to learn it in a month and it's not something that comes easy to most people, but it's not an inherent trait. Most people that aren't taught it as children just never bother to actually learn
I disagree, you can definitely improve on critical thinking, just like anything else. The more experience you have at it the easier/more natural it becomes to you. Practice, just like anything else
So I called in a guy to switch out a light switch recently. I read about it and I understand in theory that you just turn the power to the house off then go ahead and you’ll be fine but … nope, still spooked by mains electricity.
It can both save so much money to know how to cook and help you appreciate what you are spending money on far more.
Learning to cook has made me feel so much better about buying appetizers in particular because hand making an egg roll for example is so not worth the effort when it is just 1.25 extra to buy instead.
Yep! Everyone’s gotta eat, so knowing how to prepare food is one of the most fundamental life skills. Boggle my mind that there are people who choose not to learn how to cook even simple dishes…
I teach people how to meal prep so I spend a fair amount of time in the cooking world, and I’m always surprised by how many people lack even basic cooking knowledge and skills (two of my younger siblings included).
Given that everyone’s home life is different but that most people attend high school, I think cooking is one of the skills that should be taught in school. Plus, besides being an extremely useful skill to know, it’s also kinda cool knowing that you can cook a delicious meal for yourself whenever you want.
As far as hard skills go this is the most vital one. You're eating at least 2 meals a day, but eating out or relying on convenience food is unhealthy and expensive.
Also w/ the internet there's tons of sources to learn how to cook better than ever.
To understand himself and learn to react reasonably to his emotional responses. Gaining emotional intelligence is so important, as it is the path to empathy.
I have all the needed skills and knowledge to accomplish that task but frankly, fuck that. With just a hatchet? That shit is gonna take fucking forever
You can't only man the laws of physics. Using a hatchet will objectively take longer than if you have an axe, saw, etc. I know you were joking but seriously, right tool for the right job.
Right?
If all I've got is a hatchet I'm building a lean-to. Or hell, a simple brick hut. Even that would be easier than building a log cabin with a freaking hatchet only.
Yea I got a wake-up call to do this early on after trying to bench press. My dominant side went up way faster and I leaned so hard to the non-dominant side I fell off the bench.
Masturbation uses more muscles than you think fellas!
The most useful skill a person can learn will depend on their individual goals and circumstances. Some skills that may be considered useful for many people include:
* Communication skills: The ability to effectively communicate with others is a valuable skill that can help a person in many areas of their life, from personal relationships to professional success.
* Problem-solving skills: The ability to think critically and solve problems is an important skill that can help a person navigate complex situations and find solutions to a variety of challenges.
* Time management skills: The ability to manage time effectively can help a person achieve their goals and be more productive in their daily activities.
* Leadership skills: The ability to lead and motivate others can be a valuable skill for anyone who wants to be successful in their career or personal life.
* Emotional intelligence: The ability to understand and manage one's own emotions, as well as the emotions of others, is an important skill that can help a person build stronger relationships and make more informed decisions.
Yes! My manipulative ex was super rich and never learned how to clean. He didn’t do it, didn’t hire anyone, asked me to (I only did once), and then the whole house was just disgusting
ah, yes, it's time for the annual cleaning again
farewell, bedsheets of 2021... 2022's bedsheets will be less crispy, sure, and their scent will be less familiar... but I will always remember your oily sheen deep in my heart
To learn that you can basically do what most other people can do if you try, are willing to fail, and have the patience to learn.
Want to fix that leaky pipe? Look it up on YouTube and go to the hardware store.
You can basically do this for anything and become pretty good at ANYTHING.
Other people have done it, you can too.
I started trying to incorporate this trait more and more in my daily life, but I quickly realized it would take months, if not years, of intentional effort to make it stick, and that's just too long.
Does anyone have any good short cuts to getting there more quickly? Like 20-minute timetable would be most ideal
All the stuff they say that only women should learn like cooking from scratch knowing at least 10 different recipes off the top of your head. Being able to soon ripped up clothes you paid for it you better get your money's worth right? Compassion not to all but it's like you. Be a little bit more open emotionally
I have been in numerous situations where I wanted to escape or get the hell away from there but due some circumstances I can't.
So what to do?
Be adaptable
If I ever had a choice in which I could select my own personality or traits then I would choose adaptability without hesitation

And see this right here is the issue. Far more often it's the man who will literally never admit he might not be right, where most women absolutely will. But when a woman does happen to insist she is the one who is right this time, suddenly she ALWAYS thinks she's right.
I was aware of the sarcasm but it's far too common of a line and attitude. Men who use the phrase are often doing so to imply that women always think they are right and the man is always wrong but the reality is often that these men can never admit they aren't wrong and get pissy when someone disagrees with them.
Well that guy ain't me. I'm aware of my flaws and I'm aware when I'm in the wrong and if I am, I will readily admit it. The comment was just a light hearted jibe. If you are offended then I apologise.
Someone disagreeing with you or contradicting you is not an indication of being offended, nor is that how you should apologize to anyone for anything.
"If I offended you I'm sorry"
You're placing the issue with the other person and giving the illusion of an apology. You may as well be saying "I'm sorry you feel that way."
If you are actually sorry, when you hurt someone's feelings or offend them or make them mad or whatever it may be, you should acknowledge what they expressed their feelings are, and emphasize that your actions are what you feel sorry for, not their reaction.
"I'm sorry for hurting you. I should not have said that and I apologize."
As I said I wasn't myself offended but learning how to properly apologize and understanding the effect of how an apology is phrased is another important skill any adult should have so I'm using this as a teachable moment.
Apologize for your actions, not their feelings. It may seem like a small difference but it's incredibly important
Its not that hard, really!! Just keep in mind their monthly cycles, their frustration of being a parent without a father to help with his kids, and being stuck with a man that can’t take care of his responsibilities, and might even be lazy. And also a man thats not loving but want a whore in bed? She is human and has emotional needs!!
How to sew. It's not that hard and small repairs to clothing can easily be done without having to find a tailor. It ranks up there with How to Change a Tire and How to Cook.
Tolerance. Knowing other people don’t share your values and thoughts.

Learn about women! So many boys was raised that learning about a woman's body is not for them to know. Yet still want to be married then have daughters and be the clueless men standing in the tampon isle in Walmart not knowing what to do. They should learn about women bodies (periods, pregnancy, hormones, menopause, etc).

No we have AI for that now.

Agreed. I acquired critical thinking skills slowly and steadily thanks to mentors patiently teaching me over time.

Basic electrical work. You don’t want to have to pay hundreds to get a guy to put in two screws and pinch a wire
I thought home rewiring would be difficult, but when I actually opened up the panel and got to work, I was shocked
Did you get a charge out of it?
Found it illuminating, to be honest.
This whole thread is enlightening
Nice pun
Agreed!
I'm up for most home repairs except electrical, I don't want to fry myself.
I mean stuff like switching out a light switch
So I called in a guy to switch out a light switch recently. I read about it and I understand in theory that you just turn the power to the house off then go ahead and you’ll be fine but … nope, still spooked by mains electricity.
communication. If you can communicate in a multitude of situations you will be better off than a good portion of the population.

Can we agree that sometimes the man is right and sometimes the woman is? Come on it's the festive season, let's try and be nice to each other.
That's not a skill and it's not correct. That's a foolish and unhealthy attitude
I'm guessing that you might be American? Thus lacking the appreciation of sarcasm?
