    Did they mean “and be doing so insinuate” I wonder? Initiate makes some sense too, just odd phrasing.

    Anyway! I’m getting sidetracked lol! Haven’t even watched the video yet. Thanks for sharing the quote

      there was a mental word search, glitch in the matrix moment right at that point - read into that what you will, cuz these days all options are valid.

      “insinuate” is absolutely the very best word, but publicly one has to walk the fine line between complicity and hair-on-fire alarm, and so “initiate” came out of her mouth.

      for the record, I think we are past the face-melting stage.

        Yeah that’s relatable. It’s so easy to pick apart someone else’s words when you’re just passively observing, but when it’s you in the moment…
