When was the last time someone stunned you with a statement? - Lemmy.World

Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes.

I read a social media post that alleged one of the people running for house rep in my state opposed a school board describing nazi imagery and the n-word as “hate speech”, because “that’s subjective”.

That person is running for public office in my state. They gave her an endorsement and let her on the ballot. Like wtf.
