I'll do this eventually...

[Prince Glittersnatch III]

I have several gigabytes of disgusting pornography saved on my hard drive, most of which I dont remember even saving. Oddly enough the same file is where I keep my MyLittlePony pictures.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Nice thread!

I guess I'd say that my specialty is sociology, specifically the stuff people do (individually and collectively) that is bad for them.

And glass. Not that anyone really has any questions about that, but if they did, I'm yer man!

And uh

I dunno. Maybe gardening? And cooking on the cheap.

[Bruno]

Fundamentals of electro and/or mechanical thangs, i.e. electric/electronic circuits, electric motors, integrated sensors, rudimentary programming in assembly language, C languages, and Python.

Ceramics. Makin thangs with silicone, and 2-part casting resins. I can do some basic 2D and 3D design in CAD programs, and Blender.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Mine is the same as Garbo- Feminist stuff.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Jesus, how did I get here?

I don't regret anything but being an office schlub at a hospital trying to make it as a musician? Wow. My life trajectory bounced off and veered off into a totally different direction where I work in science but am in no ways a professional scientist (anyone who uses the scientific method is a scientist, just as anyone who manipulates soundwaves is a musician. The amateurs often do very sound work)/

Life happens.  Drop your pants and roll in it.

That's the minus "rock 'n'" part isn't it?

I thought that part would just be assumed.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

- Metal / wood / bone / leatherworking with hand or power tools

Richter with a bone saw.

My testicles just crept up into my stomach.

[Mistre]

Hummm, let's see. I don't have that many specialties (at least as many as I would like to have), but the ones I have are these, I guess:

1- I am a native speaker of portuguese.
2- I act, having read some books about it and attended some classes.
3- I write, aiming to, someday, become a full-fledged writer.
4- I read a lot of psychology texts, and enjoy them greatly. So, I'd say I have a slightly above layman knowledge about this topic.
5- I read a lot of webcomics and play videogames, so, yeah, there's that.
6- I enjoy filosophy, and have some knowledge about it.
7- Same thing with sociology.

Specialties?

-blasphemy brownies and some other desserts
-accidentally vegan cooking with FAR too much fiber in it.
-I'm about 1/4 of the way to claiming a specialty in libraries. Does that count? Channeled ocd ftw.
-flashes of comprehensive recall that make people think I actually know what I'm talking about and/or doing.
-occasionally hurting people's brains without experiencing the accompanying mental images myself (though this one might just be a side effect of being related to Richter)

The cain is not a one trick pony. Of course you can.

Sure.  You do other stuff.

Like torment students, which is to my mind the best use of a college degree that can be reasonably expected from anyone.

Nope.  I am PD's "politics" person.  "Everyone" knows it, apparently.  I've been pigeonholed into that role and, apart from education, I bet you not one person here could name something I have any special knowledge or experience of.

Speciality is overrated, anyway.  Most "professionals" outside of carefully bounded disciplines (chess, fire rescue, medical professionals) are either no better or only very slightly better than the average reader of the New York Times when it comes to making predictions.  Which is depressing in and of itself, given how fucking awful so many NYT articles and op-eds are.

Youre a good rock climber. Or am I thinking of someone else?

[Cain]

Definitely someone else.  I hate rock-climbing, and I'm shit at it besides.

[AFK]

You're thinking of Marvin Gaye.


Ain't no mountain high enough....
