What are some things that everyone should try to master?

Being able to swim.

Was recently driving a bunch of other girls to our university maintenance class after it had poured and we came to a part of the road where it descends into a depression before fully rising back up. That day the depression was flooded, making a lagoon. The back-up road would take us an extra 30 kilometers around, so after briefly stopping, I decided to rush forward and go through the water. Every last passenger started silently panicking (silently enough I didn't notice) and one threw up out of fear, and thinking it was car sickness, I stopped the vehicle, which made everyone panic more and try to "abandon ship" because they thought the vehicle was going down and need help because it was the areas beside the road which were actually deep. And here I am thinking "this place is as wet and flood-prone as Hurricane Harbor, what have you been doing all your life that you can't swim". If someone can't, why?

Do you know anyone who is dual faith?

Worship of Trump baffles me. Said worship isn't even consistent. One moment he's the second coming of Cyrus the Great, another moment he's the second coming of George Washington, and another moment he's the second coming of Jesus himself. At this point, they might as well just max it out by acknowledging he's the latest Avatar, the sixteenth doctor, the latest vessel of Professor Ozpin, and the most infamous and most anime-named Lemmy mod all wrapped up into one and be done with it.

On a slightly more serious but lighthearted note, it does invoke the question "what counts as a religion?"
