This is excellent, enjoy your Lemmy Gold!
Thank u so far I am enjoying it.
There is also the “I don’t follow your logic” humblebrag.
“I’m not sure we’re on the same page with that concept.”
IMO only means “I disagree”, and implies much more a difference of values than of cognitive capacity.

It doesn’t translate fully to English, but I always like this one: “Have you considered giving your studies another chance?”
When it sounds stupid but idgaf: Sounds good!
When it sounds stupid and igaf: thanks for bringing up that point! Definitely I agree with what you’re saying, but don’t think it really applies here cause… As I mentioned yesterday… Sorry if I wasn’t super clear before but…
“Yeah, I don’t know about that”
The gate is down, but the train isn’t coming…
“That certainly sounds very … courageous”
That’s not a bad idea. However, I would propose a few small improvements to - completely different plan follows
“That’s not a reasonable [opinion/position/take/xyz] and is going to [cost us money/make us look bad/blow up in our face/etc].”
