Ha! I'm imagining a DC comic book about "appraisal man"!!

Poke your hand until you hit the corner of a seam. Do the same with the other hand on an adjacent corner.

Bring hands together so both corners touch.

Now unfold the corner in one hand onto the other hand.

Smooth it out. Repeat with the untouched corners.

You can do it one more time or just fold from there

I wanted to say how to happy, but I think how to people would fix that as well.

You can dance if you want to!

Yeah, Billy 780164 as I like to call him, is an ant living in the basement in a swedish suburb near the sea, just besides the grass Gras9534795.

"he's been going all night, he's a machine!"

"....I know healthy emotion regulation"

"...show me"

I'd make tens of dollars as the scholar to decode the Harrapan/Indus Valley script!

Or I make makes millions as a YouTuber decoding the Voynich manuscript...

Our society is broken:(

If it was just one language and writing system as a choice, I might say Japanese.

There are so many different characters in their writing as symbols instead of phonetic sounds, that bookstores in Japan are divided into sections, in which one has books that use... say 500 characters, then another section with books that use 1200 characters, or 5000, or 10,000, or more!
To read Japanese or Chinese with a mastery of over 10,000 symbols might be my choice. The richness and depth of those writings must be something incredible.

My second choice, for shits 'n' giggles, might be something like Sumerian or Akkadian, in the original Cuneiform!

This sounds very useful until you realize you still don't want to talk to people in any language.

If I could 'cheat' and say 'I know every language in the world', and that included programming languages and things like scientific notation as a language, I'd take that in a heartbeat. If not, I'd take programming, as at least then I can create things and make money.

If speaking every language included dead and forgotten languages too though, then it would be a very tough choice.

This is a neat idea until you're in a situation where you remember 38 different words for a thing, just not the one in the language you need

The rpg munchkin in me hopes polyglot misleading includes computer languages.

I can't even imagine how powerful I would be if I could be ignored in every language.

Yea, the best option.

The problem is luck plays an enormous role in whether or not a company fails or makes bank. This is how we end up with idiots who become hundred-millionaires or billionaires. Though being savvy helps improve your chances.

If you're good at playing the dailies, you will inevitably go bust, possibly while owning a bunch of rotting commodities that didn't sell in time, but once you have a reputation friends will lend you money to get back on your feet (which you pay back with interest.)

"Contract management", I think it's called.
You hire the services of one factory or laboratory to do your manufacture and packaging, another company for distribution and marketing, another for accounting, etc. You can build a good-sized company with one employee: You, the owner.
