It’s a fucking concentration camp. Call it what it is AP.

The stolen art is a much bigger problem for Bungie in a legal sense. They (and other studios) put out mediocre shit all the time and promise to fix it. I’m sure the poor play test contributed but the stolen art is likely the cause for this delay.

They now have to scan every single asset in the game to make sure the stolen art is no longer there and that’s just the stolen art they know about. There might be more stolen art in there, who knows.

Now that the controversy is public the original artist could easily find a lawyer to go against Bungie if more stolen art is found in the final release. If Bungie gets sued they might have to pull the game from storefronts.

Stephen Miller is a fascist piece of shit. Keep saying it because it’s the fucking truth.

Lmao, Sheinbaum was regurgitating the “both sides” rhetoric the other day but sure, let’s try to justify an invasion of Mexico on top of shooting American citizens.

Everyone in that fucking room is a fascist sociopath.

Trump and Steven Miller escalated the situation because they needed to feel good about themselves after Elon fucked them both over. This is probably what they planned for the elections in 2026/28.

If EQD can’t survive, then no boutique pedal company in the US will. An entire industry of American companies will be wiped out.

EQD is a prime example of how insanely stupid Trumps tariffs are and how they’re not going to magically bring manufacturing back to the US. EQD literally builds everything in the US. They are the “people turning little screws” that one fucking dipshit talked about. The chips and components still come from overseas and that shit ain’t moving to the US.

Fuck Donald Trump and all his sycophants.

Or to distract from the media’s complicity in getting him elected twice.

Someone is trying to sell a book (ie grift) about Bidens mental decline in his last year as president. As if that’s a good use of our time while we descend further into fascism. Never mind that Trump can’t string together a coherent thought most of the time.

Cool. Maybe don’t platform people like Steve Bannon who helped elect the guy that just cut NPRs funding.

I can’t even tell if the bottom comment is satire anymore.

Yes, the media is suppressing news of protests because most of the media companies are owned by billionaires who’ve kissed the ring.

The protests that are happening are also smaller and somewhat decentralized. The media likes a big show and these protests don’t get clicks or eyeballs on screens.

There are many smaller protests happening such as the ones outside Tesla dealerships literally everywhere. This is having an effect on Teslas stock but TBD if it’ll have a lasting effect.

People are also attending town halls with their congresspeople and getting confrontational. This has led to many representatives cancelling town halls or screening for only Republicans like fucking cowards. Chuck Schumer just canceled his book tour because he knows he’ll get run out of every city he shows up in after his capitulation.

Pro Palestine protests continue on campuses.

There’s a lot to dig into on why there isn’t a large mass protest like 2020 but my simple answer is that things aren’t bad enough yet.

Not sure if any of these companies make what you’re looking for but Ultimate Guitar put up this article last year: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/here_are_some_of_the_best_pedal_brands_made_in_europe-162130

I know Jam Pedals are highly regarded.

ThorpyFX - Not EU but UK and not US: https://thorpyfx.com/en-us

Dry Bell is from Croatia: https://reverb.com/shop/drybell

Empress Pedals is in Canada. Their compressor is well regarded.

Gamechanger Audio is in Latvia

Most of these are quite expensive just FYI.

What’s the middle pedal with the labels on it?

People on the left need to stop peddling this “Trump stole the election” stuff. It plays right into his rhetoric about our elections being rigged and allows him to cry again whenever his side loses. The comment in the screenshot looks like a fucking bot anyway.

Dems didn’t dump Biden early enough and the average American voter is dirt fucking stupid. Plus you’re telling me there’s some sort of massive conspiracy to alter votes in 7 different states with separate election systems and no one blabbed?

While I agree that every accusation is a confession until we see some hard proof that’s peer reviewed I’m skeptical. We shouldn’t be focusing on the past anyway, it doesn’t solve our current problems. We need to focus on the present and future.

Do these people just string legal sounding words together and hope it makes sense?
