    Nazi: I mean, But why skulls, though?

    Hans: What?

    N: Why skulls?

    H: Well, maybe they’re the skulls of our enemies.

    N: Maybe, but is that how it comes across? It doesn’t say next to the skull, you know, “Yeah, we killed him but trust us, this guy was horrid.”

    H: Well, no, but… I mean, what do skulls make you think of?

    N: I mean, what do skulls make you think of? Death, cannibals, beheading, erm pirates?

    H: Pirates are fun!

    N: I didn’t say we weren’t fun, but fun or not, pirates are still the baddies. I just can’t think of anything good about a skull.

    H: What about pure Aryan skull shape?

    N: Even that is more usually depicted with the skin still on, whereas the allies-"

    H: You haven’t been listening to ally propaganda. They’re bound Of course they’re going to say we’re bad guys.

    N: But they didn’t get to design our uniforms and their symbols are all, you know, quite nice, stars, stripes, lions, sickles.

    H: What’s so good about a sickle?

    N: Well, nothing, and obviously if there’s one thing we’ve learnt in 1,000 miles of retreat, it’s that Russian agriculture’s in dire need of mechanization.

    H: Tell me about it.

    N: You’ve got to say it’s better than a skull. I mean, I really can’t think of anything worse as a symbol than a skull.

    H: A rat’s anus?

    N: Yeah, and if we were fighting an army marching under the banner of a rat’s anus I’d probably be a lot less worried, Hans.

    Episode 8 had one scene that was really cool to look at

    spoiler

    When they hyperdrived one ship into another

    But it comes with opening a lot of plot holes and asking questions we were better off ignoring.

    Episode 9 is just garbage writing start to finish though. And garbage marketing when you remember they announced

    important plot point

    The return of palpatine

    through fortnite.

    What you’re seeing as “big stars” are really just the biggest outliers. I don’t know how reliable of a source it is, but from here it says that the average person on onlyfans makes $180 per month, and that 75% of all the creators make less than $100 per month.

    Another source I found that’s a little more recent says that they’re earning slightly more than that, but not by much.










  • “The possible possibility” -> “The possibility” As someone else said, it’s just redundant here.

    The first meaning of possibility relates to chance/probability whereas the second relates to ability/capability/feasibility

    This is simply untrue, possibility doesn’t relate to probability except in a very binary yes/no, something is possible.

    “It’s not necessarily necessary for you to wear a tie to the meeting, they might not care.” -> It’s not always necessary…

    “The maybe necessity” -> The necessity of blank is still being debated

    “It’s maybe not necessary” -> it may not be necessary

    The second one would depend on the context, you could change things around or describe the uncertainty in other ways. The third one I think you’re just getting too stuck on a particular order for these words you want to use.



  • Starting around 38:30 in the podcast

    Dan Friesen: So the argument is that the CIA was trying to recruit these hijackers and make them into informants. And that is a theory. It is not established. It is not proven. But they start to just treat it as if they have proven it.

    Mark Rossini: You have the CIA then following one man and then two men all over the planet and then eventually even to America, right? Landing in Los Angeles, California, and you don’t tell the FBI.

    Tucker Carlson: But why would the CIA want to hide the highly relevant and potentially dangerous fact that two known al-Qaeda terrorists had just landed in California? According to a recently released court filing, former White House counterterrorism star Richard Clark told government investigators that the quote: “CIA was running a false flag operation to recruit the hijackers.”

    Richard Clark: When Cofer Black became the head of the counterterrorism center at CIA, he was aghast that they had no sources in Al-Qaeda. So he told me, I’m going to try to get sources in Al-Qaeda. I can understand them possibly saying we need to develop sources inside Al-Qaeda. When we do that, we can’t tell anybody about it.

    Dan Friesen: So it’s important to pay attention to the way that information is used by people like Tucker and notice the little tweaks that they make in order to push their narratives. In this case, Tucker is setting up his clip of Richard Clark, and he says that Clark revealed that the CIA was engaged in a false flag to recruit these hijackers.

    Then he plays the clip of Clark that does not say that. But instead is Clark saying that he could understand the intelligence folks trying to secretly turn the future hijackers into informants. He wasn’t saying that the CIA was doing this, but he understood how it was possible.

    Yeah, one of the conspiracy theorists’ main tricks is equating proving that something is possible with proving that it’s true. Richard Clark saying that it’s possible that the CIA was trying to recruit the hijackers as informants is not the same thing as him saying that is what happened. But Tucker knows that to his audience, it is the same.

    I don’t know man, maybe you need to work on your media literacy a little more. Or maybe just as a rule, you shouldn’t be taking anything Tucker Carlson says seriously.
