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.
I didn’t discount your personal experiences or suggest that your feelings are invalid.
What I said was that I think it’s unwarranted to extend your hatred to an entire group of people around the entire world (many of whom seek out the profession specifically out of a desire to help people) because of your experiences.
I’m sorry to have infuriated you, and I sympathize with your experiences.
I know for a fact that your experience is not normal, at least where I live, and I think your hatred of all mental health professionals around the world is unwarranted. I know I won’t be the person to change your mind though.
The reason I suggested it wasn’t “negative emotions” or being an “unhappy worker”, but the part of your original post that (it seems you’ve edited out) suggested potential suicidal ideation.
There are some free or low cost talk therapy services, and not all of them will be “officially approved” by your government, which I think would be a selling point in your case. If you ever need help and don’t know where to turn, some of those might be of assistance. And I haven’t heard of any of them demanding your medical records before offering to help. I’m sure some of them are even anonymous.
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’m an ally, but I don’t put my pronouns in any profile. I let people figure it out for themselves. Pronouns are only useful for talking about me anyways. If they get it wrong, it’s not really a big deal, and if it might cause confusion, I’ll correct them.
To the content of your post though, I sincerely hope that you are able to access some therapy.
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 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
Marijuana is a commonly accepted and recognized name for cannabis. It’s the first “also known as” on the Wikipedia page for Cannabis.
What’s the TL:DW of that? I’m just reading for now lol
Thank you for explaining that far better than I could!
Depending on the state and one’s farming capabilities, some people could already be halfway there! At least part of the year
