Thank you! It was a few steps removed and I didn’t know it was there, but it was worth it!
Thank you. I tried to read the article, got two pop ups (for notifications and cookies requests, I think), then saw it ended in a paywall maybe a paragraph in. So, I was reminded why I don’t usually read articles, lol
I used to use this maybe a decade ago. I’m glad to see it’s still around!
I’ve unfortunately switched to Google Calendar when my workplace started using it informally, and it’s just been the easiest to stick with.
Nope, those mean different things!
If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t post it
Means (or implies)…
“I didn’t like it, so I won’t post it”, but it’s phrased as a conditional statement.
It also means that it’s hypothetical – nothing was posted!
But…
If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t have posted it
Means (or implies)…
“I like it, so I posted it”, again phrased as a conditional statement.
It also means that the thing actually happened (because the commenter liked it).
So they have similar, but different meanings. The key difference is whether the commenter is saying they have already posted something or not. One is hypothetical, and the other is more of a reflection of something that did happen.
Also, I think this part of your comment is incorrect.
Should not it be
This should be…
Shouldn’t it be
(This is what people say probably 99% of the time)
Or
Should it not be
(This is less common and more formal)
And yes, I know that it looks like the “not” should be directly after the “should” because of “shouldn’t”, but it doesn’t happen that way. I think this happens when forming a question with conditional verbs (should/would/could), but I have no idea why.
As I’m sure you know, English is crazy. Sorry about that. Hope this helps!
I hope that’s not the only lens you see the world through. I don’t think anybody else saw that comment the way you did.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has ever done that! Haha
I think it’s because dreams are “run” by the part of the brain that evolved in nature, and doesn’t access the parts of the brain we use to access much of anything we’ve invented.
I occasionally have/had dreams about writing tests. There’s almost always a problem with both being able to read the question and being able to write the answer! Lol
They were making a reference to boot licking
What did people do when I was bored?
They were doing fun things that I didn’t want to do. Maybe play sports, or experiment with drugs? Lol
EDIT: The comment above me originally implied that the other commenter was racist for using the word “marijuana”. They edited their comment to have absolutely no relevance to what my comment was about, which is fine, but they also didn’t mention that they did that, which is lame.
My original comment:
Marijuana is a commonly accepted and recognized name for cannabis. It’s the first “also known as” on the Wikipedia page for Cannabis.
It does take a bit longer to load, especially on the original post page when swiping up/down quickly.

What’s the TL:DW of that? I’m just reading for now lol
I don’t believe his claims without evidence, but having a legit cover for nefarious acts is pretty standard, no?

If the Canadian Liberals thought it’d win them more elections, they would’ve done an election reform years ago.
…like they’d initially promised.
buy a new one.
Buy a new SSD and swap out the old one?
…buy a new SSD, right??
I know it’s not “intelligent”, but I don’t get gatekeeping the phrase “AI”.
We were perfectly happy to use “AI” to refer to the logic of computer-controlled enemies in video games for probably decades.
Usually Twinings, but I’ll accept store brand for black tea. Lipton or Tetley for green teas.
