Social WR Lounge v250: The Discord strikes back

I think that counts under my title of healing powers. I could fix trauma and like actual physical injury. Best superhero.

or the ability to lighten someone's dark aura.

Some people carry an anger and hate with them that poisons the air.

I use to think mind reading or freezing time would be the best power. Now, I’m pretty indecisive about that whole list. Trying to think the practical advantages of each. Like teleport sounds like you’d get cheap travel for life. Super strength I guess gets you absolute advantage in some sports but that could kinda make it boring, you would feel pretty invincible though. Time travel would be rough because I think I’d try to perfect everything and keep living it over. I suppose you could be immortal in that scenario but over time, you might feel pretty alone depending if you continually use it. Same with mind reading. It would make you different enough from the average human that you’d have trouble connection with anyone. Flying would be awesome and great for short term travel but I don’t think you get much out of it aside from that.

Yeah I can think of a few people like that.

Super powers that you see in fiction are rarely that useful in daily life. If I could have a super power I'd want the ability to understand, speak, read, and write in any extant human language. That's way more useful than being able to fly or pick up a car or whatever.

Do you think telepathy works in that way? Or are you only able to understand the thoughts of people who you share a common language with?

The main issue with most of these powers is not getting caught using them
The second the world finds out your life goes to hell

Mind reading isn’t a superpower. I’m self conscious enough based on what people say, if I heard what they think I’d never move lol.

Leave it to this depressive forum to take superpowers like flying and Super Strength and say, nah boring man. I want to read books in Hebrew and Mandarin and speak Thai with ease.

I think a lot of them would be bad if you really had them. Like, OK, you could have a lot of fun with time travel, but it would drain meaning from your life. I think it would ultimately be a curse and an addiction. Teleportation and the chips thing would be pretty great, though.

Glad at least two (02) work for you.

Yea, it could be a real curse if you were the right type of person for it or didn’t use it effectively. I don’t think you could have long lasting relationships, at least not ones that aren’t in some form manipulative, with that power. It gives far to much of an upper hand to the one person. I also think I’d tend to be less forgiving of other people’s thoughts than my own.

Wouldn't have to worry about that with time travel.

I'd guess that you'd quickly become totally non-judgmental, but maybe to the point that it would be a problem. Like I'd think you'd lose subjectivity.

It would have an element of loneliness to it just like mind reading. You’d always have an overwhelming control of your relationships that they would be genuine in some sense. You could see all the branches possible in your life but no one would be along for it to experience it with in that same way. I’d assume you’d get tired of people fast too once you knew how they ticked.
