Don't perpetuate the "forced to marry her rapist" myth.
For most of history, in most of the world, consensual pre-marital sex is counted as rape. This lets feminists claim that women were "forced to marry" the men they were voluntarily having sex with, ignoring the fact that the men were also "forced to marry" the women that they were voluntarily having sex with.
Things like fake talmud quotes or purposefully taking things out of context
There's no need for fake talmud quotes.
They (not all) openly tell you that they believe they are god's chosen people.
And what does that make everyone else? It makes them people who were not chosen by god.
"The Zoe Letter? What even is that? I know bits of the story but seriously I can't keep track of every bit of minutiae for every internet personality."

Are you telling me if you got offered $700k+ for something
Depends on who I am and what "something" was.
If someone offered you $700k for something, yeah, you'd better be skeptical because you're not worth that much. But you aren't Dave Rubin or Tim Pool. Dave is delusional enough to think that he's worth that and Tim Pool, with his audience, almost certainly is. Are either of them worth $5m/year? I'd say probably not.
Of course, without editorial control, I don't see what someone would stand to gain from giving either one of them anything, but that's a whole different issue. And if it was just a honeypot to begin with, the "investors" don't need to gain anything, which makes the whole thing make a lot more sense.
There's no way I believe that Rubin was being paid $400k/month for that shitty tabloid People of the Internet show. If he was, he knows it was money laundering because there's no fucking way that show was worth $100k per week.
Similarly, I don't believe that Tim Pool was getting $100k per episode of the Culture War podcast. Not even Crowder is making that kind of money per episode.
would be quote amusing
You do understand that when spoken, "quote" is a substitution for the actual " symbol. It would be more correctly paired with "unquote."
You don't have to say it in written communication. Just use the symbol.
And I think Kienan is being generous. 4.5/10.
I genuinely don't understand what Matt is getting out of Tenet. I don't think they're paying him much. I hope I'm wrong.
And I preferred the call-in show just because I enjoy Blonde's takes. Their contrast makes for a good team. Frank's appearances are also entertaining.
He's the only alt media person I actually give money to because I think he does good work.
Just listening to Matt Christiansen's stream about it.
Sounds like idiotic fed fishing. He's also disappointed to only be named as "Content creator 6", but happy that he's at least front and center on the picture.
The US by way of NATO is the aggressor, and have pulled a DARVO to try to blame Russia.
The US foreign policy towards Russia could be described as a child swinging its fists near someone's face and saying, "I'm not hitting you! I'm not hitting you!"
I'm on the team of "motion controls suck period"
Except for pointing, most do, yeah. The only places I liked them were in No More Heroes where you used them as a finishing move and in Prime 3 where you tore stuff apart. In those situations, it didn't distract and actually kind of gave it a visceral, satisfying feeling. And I played the hell out of Prime 1 and 2 on the Gamecube with no control issues, but now when I want to replay them I prefer the Trilogy remaster with motion controls.
And personally I found the constant planet switching
The planet switching was just elevators. The map structure was the same as the other games, except that in places where you could switch "planets", you had more choices of where to go. It's fast travel. Not really much different than going from the sky sanctuary to Torvus Bog via the light suit fast travel in Echoes.
"USE YOUR ULTRA KAMEHAMEHA ATTACK"
I kind of liked the hyper beam. Was a nice "fuck off, leave me alone" option in the end game. Having to use it to kill bosses was just kind of meh. I didn't like the "Samus/her suit has become corrupted once again" story.
I 100% acknowledge that Prime 3 had issues, it just sounds like your might have had issues with more things than some of us did. I think the game would have definitely been better if some stuff (mostly story) had been subtracted without anything to replace it. If every scene with allies were just stripped out and none of the other hunters ever spoke and were just introduced as, "hey, these guys are corrupted, gotta kill 'em," it would have been better, IMO. And replace all of the pointless "pull, twist, push, lift" motions with a press of the A button.
I thought it was the best of the series ... minus the stupid "do a twisty motion to activate a switch" mechanics and the story.
The power-ups were great, the environments were great, the music was fantastic, they got rid of the constant weapon switching to open different colored doors... Hell, I even liked the motion controls for ripping limbs off of the hunter metroids, so not all of the motion controls sucked. Plus pointing for aiming was the next best thing to mouse+keyboard.
But everything to do with the Federation soldiers and the other hunters was meh and there was too much of it, as well as the constant prodding from the Aurora unit telling you where to go.
Yeah.
And far too much uninteresting talky-talky that detracts from the jumpy-shooty.
I recently went back to replay Fusion and while it's not awful (the game itself) the cut-scenes take too long and can't be skipped. I couldn't push myself to play past the first boss.
Why would we trust betting odds? Stock prices can be manipulated, commodity prices can be manipulated, polls can be manipulated. Everything can be manipulated by people with obscene amounts of money.
Maybe at one point "betting odds" were a good indicator, but as soon as people start noticing that they're a good indicator, the same people who manipulate everything else to create their false reality will manipulate those too.
