Yep, and then further down the article:

American evangelical groups have played a role in pushing hateful policies

In reality, the US in particular has influenced or supported anti-LGBTQ policies and attitudes in Uganda, particularly via evangelical groups like the Fellowship Foundation, which had a hand in crafting the 2009 “kill the gays” bill, according to a 2020 report from Open Democracy.

Us Brits started it off, then the American Bible bashers keep it going. Tale as old as time.

This is so sad. I don’t want to come off as “le enlightened atheist” but this is the harm that extremist religions cause.

“What’s an email? Is that like a phone?”

But I’m scared 😬

Good ol’ Linus, love that bloke.

You know when a band you love that broke up 30 years ago reform and release an album, and it’s always a bit bland and just doesn’t hit in the same way?

Well…

I mean… just Google it?

Yeah there’s nothing wrong with being horny, but shoving it in strangers faces is just gross.

Reverse API changes, fire Spez, and sticky an apology to the frontpage.

But even if they did that, I’m not going back 😂

I’ve been tired of reddit for a while, too many bots, too many bad mods, too many psychos and trolls. Basically, it’s just too crowded. It’s nothing like it was when I joined in 2010. The spirit of the site died a long time ago and you can’t get it back.

Yeah for sure. I was on reddit for 13 years, there were users I recognised by name, people I was friendly with, people I’d have intense debates with, many, many, many subreddits I loved.

But nothing lasts forever, and this place seems nice so here’s to new beginnings 🍻

It’s migration all the way down!

I think it can be just damage to your reputation but yeah… not sure really 😕

Any lawyers reading this?

Considering how new it is and how many people (like me) who have suddenly turned up from reddit I think it’s doing brilliantly.

I’m using Jerboa and it’s not bad but it could be a bit better. I’m getting a few bugs like the screen juddering when I scroll now and again, and the UX takes some getting used to.

But yeah, overall I’m impressed and excited to see this place grow.

Just please don’t ever do a reddit 😂

Christian should sue him for that, looks like libel to me.

I’m not a lawyer though.

Suicide will now be punishable by death.

Bye Boris 👋

You’re welcome mate! Have fun 👍

So they all do essentially the same thing in principle, which is turning the bass/treble up and down with a filter. Imagine playing a note and then rolling your pickup tone up and down, it’s essentially the same thing.

The differences between pedals are basically what filter is being used, what frequency range it has, build quality etc.

So yes, you can get a similar effect with a cheaper pedal but no they do not all sound the same.

Personally I think the Crybaby is fantastic and absolutely worth the money, but I bought mine when I was 14 (which was a loooong time ago now) because I wanted to be Jimi Hendrix, I didn’t consider any alternatives because… I was 14 and 14 year olds are frivolous.

Don’t spend your money just yet, I would say you need to go to a guitar shop (if you can) and try 3 or 4 wah pedals and see what you like, and if you can find something that sounds great for less money then go for it!

But equally, if you can afford the crybaby and that’s what you want then it is an excellent choice.
