The sheer fact that there's so many ways to debloat Android devices is sad. There shouldn't be a need to remove stupid bloatware from any device, but man is Samsung bad about it. I just want my Galaxy tab to be an Android tablet.

I am *not* saying that fan dislike of 4E didn't play a part but Paizo made their name making 3rd party content for DnD and the license terms hurt them so they did their own thing. The popularity of 4E inspired games like Lancer, Draw Steel and yes, PF2e, show it's a system with a lot to offer.

One of the #TTRPG takes I hate the most is that the original Pathfinder only existed because people thought DnD4e sucked. It's not. The main reason Paizo did that was that Wizards of the Co$t refused to use OGL and screwed over tons of 3rd parties who made 3x stuff. For example, Paizo.

After running one session of Delian Tomb my view of Draw Steel is simply it's one of the best games I've ran. Between this and PF2e I have my heroic fantasy game needs covered and then some.

I just voted no on Amendment 4 and 5. If you're a Missourian like me I encourage you to do the same. Don't let the legislature take away our right to petition, and don't let them screw us on additional taxes in the name of removing income tax. We **will** end up paying more

Imagine being Bernie Moreno and being such a weak-willed man that when his daughter gets a restraining order against her husband you don't immediately demand said husband drop out of his campaign. I'm sorry that he loves power and the GOP more than his daughter and grandchildren.

The newly announced DnD expansions don't make much sense for me aside from WoW. Star Wars has a very good game that exists, and all we're going to get is Hasbro driving DnD into the ground like they do with Magic The Gathering. Nothing they have is doing anything to fix what's wrong with 5e.

Apparently this is hard to comprehend for some management types but entry level job means NO EXPERIENCE. They're ENTERING the field. For a mech eng like me? A Professional Engineer cert requires years of experience. That is NOT entry level.

Not a single fucking thing about this statement is accurate. A fucking dewormer is NOT a replacement for human DNA and vaccines do NOT use any parts of a human. Not just lies, but blatant slander. This is what the party of "personal responsibility" has become: a mouthpiece for ignorance.

Rep. John McGuire: "I don't know if you heard about the BLT sandwich -- using human fetus baby parts in the vaccine when they could've used ivermectin"

I'm really fucking tired of how Republicans can blatantly lie under oath and in Congress, and do so simply because they have to follow the narrative of their true god Trump. The Fauci hearing is just made up grievances given power by an administration with the maturity of a 12 year old.

There is literally no argument you can make that this isn't blatantly illegal, immoral or acceptable. If a Democrat president has done this to any red states, how would the media and the right respond? But Trump is allowed to be lawless because he's Trump. Impeach. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Trump Administration Admits Canceling Grants to States That Did Not Vote for Him

Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

It'd be lovely if Microsoft would quit using their garbage tier clanker to code Windows updates so I not only have less issues at work with the software I support, but also so I don't spend my Saturday afternoon repairing my own desktop's Windows image post update.

I've emailed both of my senators to reject Todd Blanche for AG. I politely ask all my fellow Americans to do the same. Of course both MO senators are Trump nuthuggers and I outright called them on that and dared them to prove me wrong.
