Can you imagine being stuck in space completely alone with only the corpses of your friends for company, and the first living thing you meet after 46 years of that misery is a fucking weird alien creature who just rolls up with crazy advanced tech and goes "hi let's work together" and makes it possible for you to save your world through the power of friendship and molecular biology. AND THEN you find out that in this creature's language, its name means "mercy". Happened to my good friend Rocky btw

there's a lot of talk about reading comprehension and one thing i think is the biggest barrier to people on this site getting better at it is simply... rushing. rushing to share something you haven't understood, rushing to have an opinion without taking the time to think about it, rushing to declare that you don't understand something

take these tags, on somebody else's post (condolences pip)

the thing is. this is what i would call an inside thought. nobody would have known you didn't get it if you didn't tell them that. if you recognised that it was important but didn't have the headspace to process it, you can reblog without commentary for others, or to come back to later. or you can save it somewhere and wait until you DO have the capacity to read it over a few more times, ponder it, consider what it might mean, figure out how to understand it, and THEN reblog it

but no. rushing to reblog while it is still opaque. rushing to admit to ignorance rather than spend the time to achieve understanding. perhaps hoping that somebody will break it down for you more simply, though to my mind it was quite simply phrased in the first place. never stopping to take the time first

comprehension is not always instant! sometimes it takes a bit of time for something to percolate after you read it; sometimes you need to read it a few times; sometimes you realise you don't have the context for it and either go and get the context or accept that it's not for you right now

please just simply slow down. you don't always have to respond to everything within a second or two. it is okay if it is not an instantaneous understanding. we all need to get more comfortable with thinking more slowly and more deeply and more carefully, and not letting our instant split second responses drive us all the time, because they are a barrier to genuine reflection

you have this superpower! BUT you have this side-effect

is it worth it?

yes!!

the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT

meh it's okay

the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it

Results/option I didn't think of

shapeshift but it slowly kills me i mean... yeah its worth it, it just means (depending on the severity of the effect) i would only use it in situations of X import honestly looking at the side effects here, i think most of them are like this, sometimes even more unambiguous (perhaps one could say "slowly kills you" applies even without using the power... but other's seem to be worded as clearly about the power itself). so unless you are very worried about temptation i think it makes sense to take most of them in a way where this question doesn't really make sense

[understandableparadox]

Oh I got "shapeshifting" and "no one believes you have powers, even if you show them."

Oooh dear God thats devious, thats just a fucking upgrade

I love this text post so I drew it

Oh no! The PCs killed the BBEG early! Quick, choose an understudy!

The Devil that all the Devil's Advocates on reddit are advocating for

Ontologically Evil Guy. Everything he does counts as Evil. It sucks.

All the BBEG's Minions who are wondering who's paying them now

Skeleton with just enough intelligence to say mean things

Angel who fell down the stairs and thus is now evil. We should fix that bug.

That one PC you abandoned after 1 session back for revenge

The villain of the GM's current hyperfixation awkwardly shoehorned into the game

Bad Barry, the Baddest Barry of them all

Me.

Reblog if you are a human rights extremist who believes that all humans are equal and has no sense of loyalty to nation states.

It sucks that there's only 20 minutes in each day. If there was more than that I would get more stuff done I'm sure

The Sun rises over Earth in a postcard illustrated by Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, recalling the 1965 mission when he became the first human to walk in space.

[carryonmysociallyawkwardson]

Alexei Leonov was a prolific and talented artist, and drew and painted many pictures inspired by his experiences in space

This particular picture is rather special though, because he drew the first draft for it while in space using coloured pencils he took with him:

[bullgirldick]

The first walk in space coincided with the first art in space. Humans literally can’t not do art

[helila]

my dude Alexei made some insanely cool space art

As I pulled myself back toward the airlock, I heard Pasha talking to me: “It’s time to come back in.” I realized I had been floating free in space for over 10 minutes. In that moment my mind flickered back for a second to my childhood, to my mother opening the window at home and calling to me as I played outside with my friends, “Lyosha, it’s time to come inside now.”

'being single sucks because youll be lonely' lame and untrue. 'being single sucks because a lot of groceries are portioned to make food for more than one person and you cant really take advantage of buying in bulk because it'll go bad before you use it all' this i cannot deny.
