  • A police officer shot and killed an innocent civilian. The officer is facing criminal charges, and an investigation is ongoing to find out who authorised use of a firearm in a public civilian space.

    Marvel has announced plans to produce a short film, celebratingthe 5 year anniversary of the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There are even rumours of a sequel anthology, once they have time to develop the story fully.

    A report has shown that rent in New York has risen to nearly $3000 for a 2 bedroom apartment. With the minimum wage at only $20 an hour, people are worrying if they will still be able to afford the things they need. One resident has felt the squeeze as they also have to pay the shockingly high price of $20 for their specialty prescription medicine. “At least my other medical costs are free!”

    Elon Musk has attempted to sue Twitter for banning his account. It is expected that this move will bankrupt him within a few weeks.

    Someone on the internet has seen that their favourite show has been cancelled, and calls it “the darkest timeline”.


















  • A facemask is a visible sign of casual compassion. It’s a sign that you aren’t going to let your own poor situation make anyone else’s life harder, and don’t want anyone to suffer needlessly. There are some people who don’t care about others, but they also don’t want to appear cruel, so their only recourse is to tear apart symbols of kindness and claim themselves superior for being “smarter” or “more honest”.

    That’s my understanding of the “stigma”, but I can’t judge everyone.


  • I disagree. I clearly equated both phrases, and both phrases can either exist in a longer sentence to establish the subject or as a complete phrase with the subject established in a previous sentence.

    Examples: “I would have danced” is functionally the same as “I didn’t dance.” If someone asks you if you danced, you could answer “I would have” or “I didn’t” and the same information is brought across.


  • Would is a hypothetical will. “Would you dance” is a general query, but “will you dance” is a call to action. A lot of the time, would is followed by if, as in, “would you dance if I asked you to?”

    “Would you like coffee” is a round-about way to ask if you want coffee. Full form would be “if I brought you coffee, would you like it?”

    Past tense is “would have”, such as “would you have liked coffee?” This is generally a missed opportinuty where you didn’t do something, and you’re asking so you can know more for the future. Saying “I would have” generally means “I didn’t.”
