I just took it to be a mentally 12yo’s mangling of “reddit”

I wonder why archive.is never works for me nowadays. Requests always just time out

This is not leddot.

Proceeds to reply in the most “leddot” way possible.

I really should just delete all my Lemmy accounts, after the reddit exodus this place just turned into reddit 2.0

Oh yeah absolutely true, Hezbollah really has no reason to disarm because it’s not like they can trust Israel to keep their word.

This is really a complete non-starter of a plan

Even if Lebanon did agree, Israel won’t. Their intent is genocide: “[w]e are going to do what we did in Gaza”. Their problem isn’t actually Hezbollah, it’s the existence of Lebanese people

Kinetic consequences, hopefully

I wonder how many US judges lean conservative

please stop using the US dollar for international trade

Yeah I’ll get right on that, chief

while we pretend the US doesn’t have any

Implying that you’re pretending the US doesn’t have any biases.

Hoarse Weasel

More than one, iirc

The USA is just Russia with more hamburgers

Whether they understand it isn’t relevant

Riiiight, yes, gotcha. Hard to disagree with that

Floridan “education” should be seen as subtractive, not additive

Hard to tell what “to their satisfaction” means though. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Bungee said “either you take just the end title credit or we yank your art and you get nothing”

“And if you look at searches on Google for the Epstein files, they’ve plummeted since this started. So, at least temporarily, it’s succeeding. It’s taking up Congress’ time and it’s taking up the media’s time,” he added.

Which part of that is a lie, exactly?

“Exhausting” is exactly how I would describe it.

But yeah, I try to keep an open mind too, and I didn’t mind (har har) my former friend’s previous witchcraft woo woo at all because it was harmless, but once they (and their partner, gah) started getting into conspiracy stuff they got weirdly belligerent about it, and it just got worse and worse the deeper they went. The last time I saw both of them, I was grilled for 2h about basic fucking geometry (turns out flat Earthers don’t understand perspective at all) and after that I just decided that I’ve had enough

At least my friend didn’t accuse me of personally being in on any conspiracy, but every time I saw them it turned into them trying to “gotcha” me with their latest conspiracy. Eventually they went off the deep end into flat Earther bullshit and at that point I just gave up and we lost touch because I haven’t had any interest in hanging out.
