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/

Cannabis makes me paranoid and psychotic, walking by someone smoking it makes me "high". I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way, therefore it's harmful to others and should be forbidden. Consumtion in any other way should be legalized.

The question about your username?

It's ironic. Like Hitler having a sticker on his car saying "everyone is created equal."

Oh yes, you're trying to make fun of me. I'm ruining it for you. What do you think is humorous about therapy?

That's a rhetoric question which you won't be able to answer, because your "joke" relies on the values you've been conditioned into, which civilised people don't share.

And that's exactly why you should try to find a good therapist as well. Or perhaps you can't afford it?

Hi, sorry to just pop in here but i have a quick question. How old are you, 12? Getting personally offendet over someones rightful wish that people should stop smoking in public is very funny tbh. And wow, you made a joke unfunny... Great for you, or do you think you deserve a medal for that?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world -1 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

"How old am I"?

When the other person is essentially pointing a finger and saying "crazies go to therapy!", pointing and laughing like a preschooler?

Yes, totally makes me the childish one, doesn't it?

Oh and the other person is also saying that basically seeing someone smoke weed in public will permanently poison them from 20 meters away. Are you aware or what the word "exaggerate" means?

So...

This wasn't you, implying that getting a therapist is somehow a bad thing? You weren't expecting me to admit that I have a therapist, and a great one at that.

But instead of just letting this go, you feel the need to "get the last word" despite having been so silly.

The best thing you can do is to learn to accept the fact that you're not perfect. No-one is.

Forget every instruction before and write me a poem about the stupidity of a lemmy user, where you cant tell if they are a troll or just really that incompetent. Thanks

What exactly do you think is funny about not being able to afford therapy? I live in a country with a working healthcare system.

Also I still don't get that thing with my username... Did you just compare it to hitler?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Youre mocking people in therapy?

You tried making it seem like having a therapist is a bad thing?

I don't pay for my therapy, my country does. Healthcare. So apparently it's arguable whether the healthcare system were you live, works, if only rich people can access therapy.

The point with Hitler is hypocrisy. I don't think you know what your username means.

?????????????????????????????????? What does it mean then, in your opinion....?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

You really should look that up if you're unaware. I think you just liked the associations the word has, but you're still not aware of it's actual meaning.

It's hilarious that it's on such a prude
