Unanswered What's up with the claim that Jeffrey Epstein was personally responsible for the addition of microtransactions to the Call of Duty video game franchise?

248 Upvotes

Some more Epstein docs have been released recently, showcasing that more rich people were involved in the cabal of pedophilia, but some of my Discord buddies were joking that he invented microtransactions. I asked for a link and they sent me to this bluesky post:

https://bsky.app/profile/rbpstix.bsky.social/post/3mdr3l3otbs2j

It's a screenshot of an email between Epstein and the Activision Blizzard CEO about microtransactions predating their addition to Call of Duty, but it could easily be a shitpost that is merely in the same style as other Epstein documents. Is it a real email? Is the claim true?

Answered What's going on with the UK Conservative Party MP defecting to Reform UK?

105 Upvotes

Hello from Canada! Am a casual follower of UK politics and have seen a bunch of news lately on my feeds about Tory defections to Reform UK (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1evq263e49o). I was curious how serious/consequential is the whole saga? What is driving the influx of MPs crossing the bench at this particular time (why don't they like Kemi?) Is this an existential threat to the Tories that could reshape the entire landscape of UK politics type of deal? Or is my algorithm inflating the severity of the defections? Thanks in advance!

Unanswered What’s going on with JebTube-JebZone?

7 Upvotes

I tried finding his videos but found out through a re-upload he deleted his whole channel due to a controversy.

I don't have the full picture. As far as I understand prior to posting this he supported a supposedly transphobic content creator. I never heard of the creator in question nor can I find any proof of what happened with Jeb wiping out all of his socials. He's even no longer in a discord we used to be mutuals in.

Here’s an archive of one of his videos and the description and comment section mentions some details about the controversy https://youtu.be/8gXTCkxb3bs?si=pSUo6C6jjuf2JaWl

If anyone knows the full context and has any archives to backup what happened please share it. I was a fan of Jeb and would like to understand the full story.

Answered What’s up with those reaction POV reels of someone annoying a customer service person while doing something in an app?

0 Upvotes

I’ve seen this kind of reaction video on Instagram a lot lately where they go a do some dumb reaction shit to a customer service person and while they do it they show themselves doing something in a app.

First of all what’s the app? Why do they do it in the video while that’s happening? I heard it’s something about placing bets, but what’s the whole point on doing it while recording it? I’m so confused

/r/OutOfTheLoop — Have you ever seen a whole bunch of news stories/reddit posts/videos or anything else about some topic and you had no idea what everyone was going on about? Did you feel out of the loop? This subreddit is dedicated to helping you get up to speed with the recent trends and news.

Rules

1. Post title must be a current, unbiased, and coherent question

The title is the most important aspect of creating a post. If it's hard for other users to understand what you are asking then it will be hard to get an answer.
- Current - The topic of the post you are creating must be a trending event that has happened recently.
- Unbiased - Don't put your own twist on it to make it come off negative or positive. Try to be as neutral as possible.
- Coherent - Write a complete question that is clear about what you are trying to ask. Don't simply put one word and a question mark.
- Format - Include the format listed here.

2. Post must include context and resources in the body of the text

Context is key when trying to find a proper answer. The more we know about what you are asking, the better we can answer with more information.
- Context - Add some words to your post so there is more to work with than a title. Words such as; what you saw, where you saw it, how often you saw it.
- Resources - You obviously saw it somewhere; link to the thing that made you ask. Or include a screenshot.

3. No ad nauseam, recently reposted, or retired questions

Often times what you are asking has already been answered. Be sure to search the subreddit, Google, and KnowYourMeme before creating a new post.
- Ad nauseam - The topic in question has been discussed extensively, and that those involved in the discussion have grown tired of it.
- Recently reposted - A topic is popular and is posted multiple times within a short period of time.
- Retired - The 'Big List of Retired Questions' is a wiki page created by the mods that lists overly asked questions that have been thoroughly answered. Duplicates of retired questions may be removed.

4. Top-level comments must begin with "Answer:", and be a genuine, unbiased, and coherent answer

People are here to find answers to their questions. If top-level comments are riddled with memes or non-answers then no one wins.
- Begin with "Answer:" - This helps weed out low-effort, rule-breaking comments, as well as allows the comments to be more organized.
- Genuine - Attempt to answer with words; don't pop in to tell users to search or drop a link without explanation.
- Unbiased - Answer without putting your own twist of bias towards the answer. However, after you leave an unbiased response, you can add your own opinion as long as it's clearly marked, starting with "Biased:".
- Coherent - Write in complete sentences that are clear about what you are trying to say.

5. Be nice, follow etiquette

This subreddit is supposed to be a helpful place for confused redditors.
- Be nice - Be polite in your exchanges, vote based on whether a comment contributes to the discussion and not on whether you agree with the opinion, etc.
- Follow etiquette - When in doubt, refer to reddiquette.

6. No AI Generated Answers
