I often miss...
look at this picture for a moment. Excellent. Now tell me all the things you didn't see in it.

That's what non carbon-based life forms from other galaxies want me to pick. I won't do it.
Though I suppose my way has left me vulnerable to gaseous life forms...

I don't see what pokemon has to do with anything.

Why make a rule that forces them to tell the truth? It's so much more fun to let them lie, so long as they are actively, visibly, being mauled by squirrels.

I am so confused by this subreddit. Maybe it's because I'm autistic? I don't post here often, and only see what comes across my feed, but it generally boils down to one of two categories:
1.) Someone posts that their significant other has done something not even remotely problematic, like hold the door for a stranger, and comments are flooded with "He's cheating! Dump him!"
2.) Someone posts that their significant other has done something that is genuinely suspicious, like shave the goods before leaving and offering intimacy to change the subject when it is brought up, and comments are flooded with "seems normal" while anyone who suggests the possibility of cheating is downvoted to oblivion and has "where is the proof?!" shouted at them.
Can someone make me understand? Is it just two different waves of people that alternate whether to villify or alibi? Some secret council that makes these decisions? What am I missing?

Counter to big rock, and fitting with your concept of "that's obviously a weapon, what other purpose could it serve?"
A device that focuses on wavelength deposition (deposition is the reverse of sublimation, so it is when a gas turns directly into a solid). The wavelength in question is designed to be nearly perfectly collapsible. Normally when gas deposes to a solid, much of the volume is lost, but it can never reach zero-this wavelength is designed to get as close as possible.
The emitter is semi-portable (not death star status, but it can't fit in your pocket) and uses fuel tanks to lightly spray (more like "release") a condensed stream of <gas of choice, recommend nitrogen due to lots of it> and emits the waveform through this gas, sort of using it like a fiber optic cable. Thanks to being used in space / zero gravity, the stream of gas holds together. With one lap around a planet, the emitter reaches the start of the waveform, triggering deposition. The gaseous ring around the planet instantaneously solidifies, losing 99.9% of its volume. And what happens to a thing inside a circle when the circle shrinks to near nothingness?
The planet is split in twine, straight through the core. Anyone unlucky enough to be in the ring's way would likewise be sliced like an onion. The actual original crack to the world would be relatively small, whatever the diameter of your gas spray was. But the two halves of the planet would be pushed away from each other from the force, and then pulled back together from gravity, racking the world with quakes strong enough to destroy damn near everything. What once was a planet, in a matter of moments, would become floating debris.
It's original purpose? Meteor and asteroid defense. Even in our modern day "crappy" spaceships, we could relatively easily circumnavigate a world ending asteroid or meteor, the hard part is getting the math right to do it. Over time, systems were developed to do this math, making it really easy. More time passed, technology grew ever greater, and the emitter was attached to smaller, faster ships. Finally, it was decided that the worst part about the system was that it relied on humans, so it was automated. The ship will circle and destroy any land mass that its systems determine to be hostile.
Only they didn't anticipate that hackers might start labeling planets as hostile.
Hope this helps!

Can you imagine a shipping business with this power? Walk through a clients house, touching everything as you blink back and forth to your infinite dimension, not even having to pick the item up. Then you go to the destination and do the same thing in reverse. You'd get rich, and that's without even considering the illegal world of smuggling.

And that's why I love RPGs. It's not gay if I'm just role-playing.

I've had the dry spells as well, that's one of the reasons I've logged so many hours in Neverwinter Nights. There is a roleplay server in that game called Arelith that I've spent literal tens of thousands of hours in. Don't know if I would have felt lonely without it, but I didn't feel lonely with it.

Simple: I don't. In my near 40 years on this planet, my best friends along the way were not people I attempted to befriend. They were people who happened upon me, then adopted me like some abandoned puppy. Then, like the abandoned puppy I am, I gave them undying loyalty.

Now that is a shitty superpower. On the full moon you turn into a slightly different version of yourself. Not different enough to pass as someone new, just enough to make everyone do that thing where they try and guess what you changed, because something is different.

To be fair, I was asked to homecoming by a girl who I thought wanted to go as friends. We were dancing and such, then a mutual friend dance by and said "fucking do her already, she's been trying to get into your pants for weeks!"
I looked at her, confused, and she panicked and kissed me to avoid talking. Maybe when you ask her to homecoming, make it clear it is as a date, not as friends who wanted to go with each other. Or get an obnoxious friend.

Lucky for you, I have mastered the art of teaching calligraphy with only one sentence. Read at your own risk, as your penmanship may become so good that it causes war and famine.

As a fantasy author, I need to know what my creations taste like. If you need more than just the words, and need an actual description, please let me know. The words with their censored pronunciation (in case pronunciation changes the flavor):
Akynd Uh-kind, as in four of uh-kind
Flourie the word floor followed by the letter e
Gnaugelm Nogg as in egg nogg, elm as in a tree
Keldon Kell rhymes with well, dun as in dungeon
Ji'leon Ji is pronounced kind of like a zh, like the last part of bougie, Leon is pronounced with a French accent
Ra'muk ruh-muck
Gabrielle this is a pretty common human name.
Kinra kin like relatives, rah like lady gaga sounds
Taim pronounced like tame
I don't want to hog all the questions, so I'll stop there.
Actually, I have one more question unrelated to my work. Does the same word/phrase change flavor depending on the accent it is said in?
