You could always hire a lawyer of your own and sue the company directly. That’s what someone did to have it become a class action lawsuit. The person who brought the original suit gets a big payout, and the people who did not generally get a much smaller piece of the pie.

Every 100 years but not every 400 years! Isn’t it fun?

Small correction, it’s every fourth year except every hundreth year except every 400th year. I’m assuming the misconception comes from the last time it was a 100th also being a 1000th (2000) but the next time a leap year will end in 00 is 2400

I don’t blame those who didn’t vote for Kamala for her stance on Israel, I get it. I’m just tired of people who didn’t vote specifically against Trump then act really surprised that the Democrats are putting up an anemic defense of our rights, because in theory they should have expected it, given how they voted. Asking why Democrats aren’t stopping fascism when you ostensibly did not support them because you felt they would not do enough to stop fascism should be readily apparent.

I am not using “you” here as in you, piefood, just as a general you

I mean, “neatly lost” here is a disingenuous phrase for “won”. The 2020 election wasn’t even particularly close either, in terms of the Electoral College, which is unfortunately the only part that really.

I agree with you otherwise, so sorry for the pedantry. Dems should have definitely learned from the midterms, and they should have learned Biden was too old for a second term even before he announced he’d run again.

I’d say I hope they learn from 2024 but I doubt it.

“Literal” has been used metaphorically for emphasis by better writers than you, centuries before you were born. Shut up.

I wanted it to be “explore the cursed island full of monsters and traps”, and one of the players just wanted to open a restaurant. No. Bad.

Respectfully, that player is an ass.

A game about opening a restaurant sounds really fun. Playing a character like that in a different kind of game ain’t the time or place though.

I just started running a game of Broken Compass, and I truly am blessed to have my group, because they’re great, but we still all built characters together as part of session zero so I could make sure they all fit the theme of the story I’m trying to have them inhabit.

Lean into it. Engage wih the mechanics and the theme of the game.

Don’t have a huge backstory laid out, because it’s fun to be able to make stuff up in the moment without it having to be a huge retcon.

Know what everything on your sheet does.

I mean, Montana has lakes and lakes have beaches…

Ah, the perfect reminder that people on Lemmy can be just as big of dipshits as people on reddit were.

There is a difference between talking about sex and gender and something being sexual. If a shopkeeper mentions his husband, I can extrapolate that he’s at least bi, but that doesn’t mean the game is sexual.

Just use Landrop like a normal person

I mean, I think “very” in the title is a stretch. It’s Pathfinder 2e’s feat-centric system but without multiclass restrictions. Which is fine, but Wildsea did it better and doesn’t encumber you with levels (though I have problems with its advancement system).

Very much a “Wow, Brandon Sanderson. I guess I hadn’t ever thought about leveling in that specific way before.” moment. Nothing really revolutionary unless you locked yourself in the D&D dungeon already.

Can’t wait to see how the conservative majority on the supreme cout bend over backwards to say their ruling that said Presidents can do anything they want doesn’t actually apply to the black one.

You really should read down to the bottom of that article, where it says that businesses are allowed to set the terms of what forms of payment they’ll accept as long as they do so before the deal is made or the sale is done. Your own source contradicts what you said.

Don’t quit your day job to start giving people legal advice.

When you use apple or android pay, it generates a temporary card number etc and uses that, which means if that payment terminal gets compromised, your card number etc isn’t exposed. Your bank could probably do something similar without Google or Apple as the middleman, but until they do, mobile pay will remain a killer app.

I’ve certainly never met a perscriptivist who I held in higher regard than Mark Twain.

Respectfully, the “just schedule it when people are good” is the quickest way to a game dissolving because no one’s times work for anyone else. If it’s managed to work for you, incredible, you are very lucky, but that’s such bad general group advice. The key to groups staying together long term is picking a day and being consistent with it.

To be fair, in the lemmy interface this looks like a text post with a random neocities link included, as opposed to a link post. Also, the url is just for page 75 of that site, which nothing is inherently wrong with it, but it doesn’t really give context clues to what the link has to do with the question.
