    I can't roll my r's. I speak pretty decent Spanish (took 5 semesters in high school), but have never been able to figure out how to roll the r's, despite years of trying on and off to figure it out.

    It's never a problem. On the rare occasions that I actually need to speak Spanish, nobody cares that I can't roll my r's.

    I have this same problem and my wife is actually from Mexico City and I travel to Mexico pretty often.

    It’s really fun though, I refer to our chihuahuas as “los perritos” but it sounds like “little farts” due to my pronunciation. Her family loves having me read things in Spanish poorly as if I don’t know the language (which is hard!).

      I always felt uncomfortable in country-themed nightclubs.

      I only found out a few months ago that nightclubs aren't a creation of Hollywood. They are definitely not for me. Country-themed sounds even worse.

        I am unable to do the magic eye things, my eyes just don't focus on that way. Good thing I never am required to

        My fingers are very stiff. If you grab your index finger and gently push it backwards, I've never met anyone who can do that less than me without hurting.

                  I'm with you on github for sure. I assume people who use it regularly think it has a decent layout but to me it seems so random and disjointed that I can't imagine how that's possible.

                  GitHub and all the other sites like it are a bit odd from a UI perspective cuz they’re catering to both regular users (including the “where exe” crowd) and devs, who need to access the million options git gives and all the extras it doesn’t (automated build and testing systems, for example). Going to a project and downloading prebuilt binaries is kinda a tertiary purpose for them, so the UI is more focused on the project’s source code + build instructions and the tooling to work with those instead.

                    Wanna do an exchange? For me it's the other way round.
                    Do you also have the full package with smaller nostril and ear canal?

                          My right foot is almost one size wider than my left foot. Finding a good pair of shoes is hard.

                          And I can't remember what kind of clothes people are wearing. Colours, sometimes, but it's like my visual cortex dedicates zero processing power for clothes.

                              You might have a physical limitation, I've met native people who can't roll their Rs, it's still fairly simple to understand as long as you're pronouncing them as Rs, or something close/distinct enough, e.g. English R (How an English speaker pronounces the R in for example Row)

                                Due to an old eye injury, I do not have a functional drain tube for my left eye (that channel that drains from the corner of your eye and into your nose).

                                Normally it's not something anyone notices, but in cold headwind and anything else that causes my eyes to water, it looks like I'm crying my heart out but only with one eye.

                                  Hey OP, I used to have that same weakness, but this tutorial actually allowed me to see the magic eyes things
                                  https://www.magiceye.com/faq-items/help-how-do-i-see-in-3d/ the two dots made it easier for me to know when I was focusing correctly.

                                  As for my weakness, I can't whistle loudly, I've tried all the methods people use, but wasn't able to learn any of them.

                                        A near-complete lack of rhythm and profound tone deafness. I can't keep a beat to save my life, and my singing sounds like the wails of the damned. But like damned chimps or something.

                                        Anyway, all music is sorcery as far as I'm concerned.

                                          I never learned to ride a bike and every attempt has been met with injuries as soon as I build a modicum of confidence. But I can rollerblade like nobody’s business, so I got that going for me.
