Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Did I use it incorrectly? I see it as a comparison of lying vs. not lying.
I get what you're saying, but in an "if... then..." statement, it's always "then" with an e.
So it isn't a comparison but a state in time? 🤔
That's right.
Dang Englishing is hard.
Yes, the word "than" is entirely different than the word "then". The most basic of English lessons would make this clear.
If you noticed what I said in my reply I explicitly state why I used it and in the correct usage. It's obvious I understand that they are different and in what content to use either of them in.
Don't give fuel to this chud who likes to correct simple grammatical errors on random internet posts like its a big deal. Or just keep making errors out of spite, sounds like a lot of fun.
That's some low IQ shit
Duuble deegits jst 4 u bby

Yeah you made absolutely no sense. incorrect usage for sure.
