Poll of the Day > Which three would you choose?

(+) Yeah! (+)

1, 5, and 9.

For 1, mostly upgrade current skills to master-class.
---

1, 5, and 9.

1 to master programming, animation, and marketing. Make some games and animations, plop them online. I think it'd be a fun, rewarding, and potentially profitable skill set to have.

5 assuming you meet and actually have a relationship, and not just meet like once and then they leave. I'm assuming this one provides you both circumstances that allow a happy life together. Otherwise it might be a waste if things don't line up and still prevent you from being with each other.

9 because free money. Not just money, but really good money. Use this as a backup in case the first pill doesn't pan out financially, and to support my soulmate.

2 and 6 are both tempting too, but the others would be more useful. Food is good, but I haven't had any issues from my diet yet, so hopefully if I eventually do I can change my diet. Pets would be great, but ultimately unhealthy for me and them. I love animals and tend to always try to bring in as many as I care for. If they all live as long as I do, I'd end up just overwhelming myself and family with ones I eventually couldn't care for and that couldn't be good for them either.

It literally says, "meet your soulmate." It's not saying it's putting you in a relationship with them.

I feel that most people who are picking 5 are the people who think they're going to be "forever alone". Instead, they should just pick 1, and have one of the skills to master being socializing.

Of course, a lot of them could just believe there's such a thing as one soulmate for every person and that soulmate will just fall in love with them if they just meet once.

And honestly, you could pick 7, become famous, then, assuming your fame also nets you lots of money or you picked 9 also, you'll have lots of soulmates flocking to you.

Meet your soulmate most likely means you'll be together with them. Also, he mentioned that as long as he would have a relationship, that's why he would choose it.

That's the reason I chose it, yeah. Still, even if that wasn't the case, I think it'd be a decent choice anyway. Who wouldn't want to meet their soul mate?

Instead, they should just pick 1, and have one of the skills to master being socializing.

This is a really good point, and I didn't consider that option.

Soul mates would pretty much mean the person that was made for you, and you for them, the perfect partner that not only makes you as happy as possible, but who is made as happy as possible by being with you.

Such a thing would lead to a relationship unless there was something in the way, such as a current relationship/marriage, especially with kids, a coma, a terminal illness that causes them to die very soon after meeting them etc.

Mastering a skill instantly is very tempting as it could be a pretty hard skill to master. It also doesn't really define how well you master the skill and if the skill you master is restricted by your natural ability. It also doesn't mention how specific the skill has to be. If you choose programming for instance, are you able to instantly code in any language? Do you just learn and master coding in one language, and have the learn any other one or at least the differences? If you master a type of music, do you learn to read music as well, or would that be a different skill, and just because you master an instrument doesn't mean you have any natural ability to actually play it.

So mastering skills could be good or bad depending on the interpretation I guess. I'd avoid it, and go with things that would allow me to master skills if I want do to time and freedom, and ensure that I have someone to enjoy life with, and my health.

Meet your soulmate most likely means you'll be together with them. Also, he mentioned that as long as he would have a relationship, that's why he would choose it.

The description literally just says, "meet your soulmate." Not, "get into a romantic relationship with your soulmate." You literally just meet them, nothing more. It's really on you to have some sort of interaction during this meeting.

Koga specifically, doesn't have the best socializing skills. Which I'm not trying to put him down by saying that but that means if he met his soulmate he might not be able to initiate that interaction that could lead to a potential relationship. This would also probably be the case for most of the people picking that pill. You're leaving a lot up to chance by simply just "meeting your soulmate."

If you say, "I want to master programming" or "I want to master music," you're using a broad term that has lots of things under it. So for programming, it's the action or process of writing computer programs. So it should be, regardless of what language is being used you will know how to program with it.

But what if you said "I want to master languages." ? Would that include spoken languages and programming languages?!

Sounds like you just wanna be a "Negative Nancy", so whatever. Anyway, none of them have any real description. Just a few words. Like, we have no idea if the $500 is taxable or not. If you get to choose the body part. Or if you can change it the way you want. Most of these seem to up for interpretation. So, everyone can interpret it the way they want. That is, unless they add rules, or more descriptions for the choices we have...

I'm not being negative, I'm just being realistic.

You said about the $500. The only way it can be taxed is if there's some sort of proof showing you're getting "paid". It's not like you're going to get W-2's from that money. You have no idea where the money is coming from so at least for the first year you need to wait and see if you're going to get taxed for it somehow. But I doubt it.

About the body part. When you take that pill, well that one is quite risky, cause like you say, you might not be able to choose what body part and how it's changed. But that's all I was saying about meeting your soulmate.

Being realistic about taking a pill that does stuff like this? Nope. I'm being about at realistic as all this sounds. So, still sound a like you're being negative about something that probably isn't suppose to be negative. Again, unless TC or the creator of this chart gives me extra rules, I'm interpreting it my way. And everyone else should, too... Just what I think. Why be realistic when talking about a pill that's just going to start giving me $500 a day? or automatically make me famous? Or whatever else...

The things is, it wouldn't happen. And if it did, we don't know how it would be. So, it doesn't matter. So, let everyone interpret it the way they want. Also, if it did happen, they would most likely give you more than one sentence on how each worked so you could make an informed decision. So, yeah...

If you don't know how it would be if it did happen, how could you ever know that they would most likely give you more than one sentence? The picture is the literal question of what they would be asking you to pick. So you do in fact know this is exactly how they would present it to you.

It makes me think of a commercial from a while back. The dude in the commercial gets a wish, he wishes for a hundred bucks and the genie gives him 1 million actual living deer bucks.

Yeah. Cause genies suck. Besides, that's a wish. And you have to carefully word those with most genies. If you were given a choice, you also might be able to ask more questions. Normally, in this situation, you'd ask the creator. Like we do things like this at work. And the person who asks gets to make the rules. Like in a what if game. So, we'd ask TC if it means this or that. He could either check online to see if there were extra rules. Or a spot where the pills are explained in more detail. Or he could tells us what he thinks it means. Or he could say interpret it the way you want. But if TC doesn't answer the question, then it's probably interpret it the way you want until he does answer it.

1, it would be awesome to be good at something for once, especially something i like. good enough to make money off it would be a dream come true.
9, lazy money is just as good as earned money.
5 out of morbid curiosity at this point.

eating is fun but not all i wanna do
not really addicted to anything that's super urgent
wang size is kinda irrelevant once you have the other stuff
sry pets i want human contact sometimes :(
fame sucks (though if i'm really good at what i master i probably wouldn't need the pill)
the bad memories are part of who we are too so that's kinda messed up.

there wasn't really much choice here. <_<

That's why I used Koga as an example cause he doesn't have the most social skills. And when you meet your soulmate you're still going to have to talk to them if you want the relationship to go anywhere.

Now, if this pill let a person meet their soulmate and also somehow made it so the two people were in some sort of relationship then it would be a much better pill.

A soulmate doesn't mean will just work out, it just means that's the ideal partner for you.

I just assumed a relationship with your ideal partner was the point of the pill. All the others provide you with a benefit to some area of your life. There's no benefit in meeting this person if nothing comes from it, if they just happen to stop and ask you for directions or something, you likely wouldn't even know it was them. Why provide a bunch of magic pills with one dud mixed into it?

It seems pretty clear we're expected to make that assumption, the same we're expected to think we get to choose which body part changes and how. Otherwise it'd literally be no different than just meeting anybody else, and there'd be no reason to choose it.

Also, I was the only one who accounted for the chance that it might just be a random meeting and nothing comes from it. Anyway, I really didn't think my comment would cause such a silly argument though, I don't think this is something we're meant to take seriously.

Magic pills are very serious business. What if it were to actually happen? Wouldn't you want to know that by meeting your soulmate it's really not going to be just meeting them and nothing else?

Um, yes, yes there is a benefit in meeting your soulmate. It means you actually know who they are. AND you would also know that soulmates are a real thing.

Technically, if all the ones that "assume" you pick the outcome would be duds as well since in those cases you wouldn't be able to pick the things you want.

There is no benefits to meeting your soulmate if you don't know it's your soulmate. And if you know it's your soulmate, it's possible to act different around them then you do with normal people. With normal people, you have a chance of being rejected. But you most likely wouldn't be rejected by a soulmate.

Also, @KogaSteelfang, Just to let you know(though I'm sure you already know), we were only using you because we know that it can be tough for you to socialize. But I want to let you know we mean no harm by it.
