Why does nobody talk about rewinding the video before you call out a bad take?
Last week a buddy sent me a clip of some guy on a podcast saying rent control doubles a city's housing costs, and my friend was ready to repost it as proof of his whole argument. Instead of arguing in the group chat, I went back to the full episode and found the guy had said that about a specific city in the 1970s and then spent ten minutes saying it didn't apply anywhere else. I now do this thing where I pull the original source, find the exact minute, and paste the timestamp with the clip so people can hear the whole part themselves. It takes maybe five minutes and it has saved me from getting mad at like six fake takes in the past month. The trick is not to say "you're wrong" but to just drop the link and the minute mark and let it sit there. My buddy watched it and went quiet, then came back two days later and said he felt dumb for sharing it. Curious if anyone else has a move like this, or do you just call the take out straight and deal with the fight?
