It's probably better to just search the Archives of Nethys. That should have links to most of the buried rules sitting beneath whatever you're looking for.

It's been so frustrating seeing people on YouTube and wherever who have spent the past 18 months "spotlighting" and "advocating for playing" other systems climb all over each other to praise this move. A move that does nothing but tell 3rd party publishers that they can safely go back to ignoring Shadowrun, Pathfinder, and OSR games.
Don't tell me you Lost it
No. They're both... way outside of the sun, so the depth within the sun at which the magnetosphere is generated is immaterial to them.
The philanthropic model exists so that the rich can wield influence over society unmoderated by pesky things like public will. The threat of not getting more money is significant.
Now why am I on Lemmy? Because in my opinion, it's the first step towards a mainstream Fedivers! Mastodon ... [isn't] very widespread, but when you see the number of people active in Lemmy communities, it's really impressive!
🤨
Mastodon has an order of magnitude more active users than Lemmy - and the whole rest of the Fediverse - if not two orders of magnitude.
Lemmy's a great platform, but Reddit is already the niche social media site among the mainstream, and the kind if niche interest forums that ultimately built Reddit just haven't reached critical mass here yet, and that means Reddit remains very sticky. Pile on people being kind of uncomfortable with the local namespaces for both users and communities, and I don't know that Lemmy's really the killer platform for the 'verse.
Fediverse adotion is going to be a collective effort. Loops has a good chance of attracting people. It would be nice if Mastodon would actually use a standard ActivityPub implementation so it played nicer with neighbours. And microblogger discovering something other than Mastodon would be nice.
But it's not going to be just one platform. If it is, then the fediverse idea has totally failed.
My 11 year old desktop's starting to go a little senile. I need to find it some new(ish) DDR3 sticks, I think.
It'd feel better if I was paid the full value of my labour, and if the ownership didn't keep trying to hamstring the people trying to do good with products I help make by locking them behind weirder and weirder licenses.
You can see the discussions that inspired the Comic Book Guy.
World governments wouldn't be able to stop the LGM from just landing in the middle of Tokyo for all to see. They have no control in that situation.
Discovering microbes on Mars might be one thing, but it's also the kind of thing the general public wouldn't give a shit about.
I've watched chunks of society freak out over everything from basic food ingredients to vaccines because they contained polysyllabic words that people decried as "chemicals".
And I've spent my whole damn life listening to people abuse the word "theory" until the the Christofascists and neo-nazis managed to become mainstream.
People abuse technical words with a purpose. Don't play apologetics for them because you believe their understanding of words is more nuanced than they are.
The system is clean. The books?... They could explain the system a little more clearly in some places.
