I finally managed to remember to reply to a "Happy Easter!" with a "Blessed Ostara!" but... (lemm.ee)

Some old lady randomly stopped me outside the store yesterday leading with a hearty "Happy Easter!" Unfortunately, she ignored my reply and went off about how amazing it would be if the Easter Bunny dropped off checks at everyone's door from Elon Musk.

Still have no idea what to make of that.

Huh?

Yeahhh. Still not sure if she was being sarcastic or not.🤷‍♀️

I suspect it means she's a reactionary who has been duped into thinking DOGE is really going to be paying out "dividend checks".

... I thought reactionaries were against UBI or people receiving free stuff from the government??

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, this was my concern and why I bailed on the conversation as quick as I could.

yeah, that's a solid "yikes" from me - I try to be nice to people, even reactionaries - but it's hard for me to not start eyeing the exit and want to escape any further interactions 😬
