sigh. I am not ready for 5 to 10 years of dumbshit conspiracy theories about a bridge.
I follow loads of conspiracies, knowledge fight is my favorite podcast, but I never thought for a second they’d make conspiracies out of this.
Are you kidding me? They’ll make conspiracies about absolutely anything, and nothing at all.
I use to browse r/Conspiracytheories once in a while to see what the echo chamber was up to, and it was always a bunch of idiots throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
I’m not even gonna keep my eye on this conspiracy theory. It’s boring af
Well I mean jar jar has a Caribbean black accent… so you just gotta go with this obviously.
Hang onto your butts
Yeah, there’s just too many conspiracy theories to keep track of these days. Like, is it really hard to believe that a ship could accidentally lose power and drift into a support pillar? You really need a conspiracy theory for that?
No boat has ever crashed before OBUMMER got into office!!1!

Thanks, Obama.
A) Thinking the Daily Mail is a reliable source of information proves how brain-addled this person is.
B) Ah, specially trained to avoid obstacles, unlike all those other ships that are constantly running into things …
It’s also SOP for a ship to be piloted by a specialist from that waterway rather than a member of the crew (as happened here). My terminology is all wrong, but you get the picture.
Yeah, like you said it’s SOP. In Hamburg, Germany any ship above 90 meters gets a specialized pilot to navigate the port, there is a logistical network in place to shuttle those pilots to and from the ships they are needed on. You are not allowed to navigate your ship in the port without one.
It’s a highly specialized job and it’s the dream of most seafaring folk around here - study nautics, become first officer for a couple of years, become captain and travel the world, after TEN years you qualify for the special pilot training and then you get the dream job of being paid like a captain but sleep at home every night.
To be fair to the Daily Mail (!!!) I think that’s some straight reporting that there was a pilot on board. Not sure what difference that makes when the power goes out and you lose steering.
These people can vote😭
If Obama did it, he probably had a good reason.
That didn’t happen. And if it did it wasn’t that bad. And if it was it wasn’t a big deal. And if it was then it wasn’t his direct decision. And if it was he didn’t mean it. And if he did it wasn’t illegal. And if it was he has immunity as an ex-president. Joe Biden’s Murder Team 6 is now en route, please do not leave the premises.
Bro. It’s a cyberattack, bro. There’s literally no other explanation, bro. It explains everything
Oh, c’mon, give a little credit.
Mikhail, or Ivan, or whoever put a little effort into that one!
Leave the World Behind is the adaptation of a book by Rumam Alaam. So if anybody is the evil mastermind, it’s him. Apparently, besides writing thrillers, he hosts two podcasts for Slate. Yep, sounds like a Bond villian to me!
But…like…what is all this shit about Obama being connected to that movie? I kept seeing it, but just basically assumed maybe he had some money invested in it, but I can’t find a connection to him anywhere in any information. Is this just a complete fabrication? Or is it more of an over assumption of a small connection?
I’m convinced
Right? I mean this is solid irrefutable evidence.
I thought the lesson was like, “that film was pretty prescient”. I was convinced until the Bible quote!
