It answered the question, made me laugh, and boosted engagement so OP would be more likely to get answers from someone else who knew.
I think it’s a winning comment!

All that sounds great. I’m not pro-Uber so much as I’m anti-Taxi (as they exist where I live), lol
In my country, Uber fixed a lot of problems that existed with Taxis.
These all could’ve been solved by a regular taxi company, but I guess there was no incentive to make the product any better to the customers.
Depending on the state and one’s farming capabilities, some people could already be halfway there! At least part of the year
Depends on the area (maybe), but I think it can do either.
Turning Red is very much a time piece for the 90’s, and many Canadians who lived in multicultural cities back then could probably identify with it or at least recognize the cultural references.
This doesn’t seem to hold true for native English speakers. The number of old white North Americans on Facebook who haven’t figured out punctuation, capitalization, or things like their/there/they’re is astounding.
Most Gen Z aren’t children though
And be weary of folks doing the same to you, especially here on Lemmy with all the ‘genocide Joe’ shit or encouraging apathy because of the shit debate.
I’m already quite weary of that!
(“Weary” means tired; you probably meant “wary” which means cautious)
Usually Twinings, but I’ll accept store brand for black tea. Lipton or Tetley for green teas.
Was WW1 preceded by many countries electing right-wing or “”“strong”“” leaders?
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 remember hearing that big box stores killed malls. I thought they killed malls, and Amazon killed big box stores, but Amazon can also kill malls, so it was a bit of a double-whammy for malls
You’re right. At the same time, there are now alternatives that generally don’t require being in places that are trying to get you to spend money just to interact with other people.
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
Someone can hate Windows for their own purposes while still acknowledging that it may be the ideal OS for the average consumer
