    in which universe 75+25=110

    My bad, I meant the 75+35=100 thing, which is a common mistake people make when doing brain math. Just imagine I said 35 in the thread.

    Back to the topic. “Who decides…” I clearly said some opinions are neither right nor wrong, if something is subjective, it by definition is neither right nor wrong. “No law to force/prohibit” I also specifically said you are entitled to have wrong opinions, so we can ignore the entire “forcing/prohibiting” conundrum.

    Next paragraph. “… These are facts that can be true or wrong” exactly, and when I say “in my opinion <fact> is true” this is also a fact (a true one) in which I say “<fact> is true” is my opinion, but if “<fact>” is actually false, this is a wrong opinion that I shouldn’t have.

    An opinion is a fact you believe is true. But some facts are false and it’s wrong to believe they are true. “Your opinion is wrong” does not mean that “it’s false that you have that opinion”. Not every opinion can be just wrong or right, as I said multiple times.

      I see our disconnect now:

      First, I interpreted your “wrong” incorrectly (I interpreted it as not allowed vs thinking a fact is different than it really is)

      Second, it seems definition of the word “opinion” is different in your region. In my region, you can’t have opinions about facts that can be scientifically measured.
      To give an example, you can have the opinion “all people need to treated the same” but you can’t say “my opinion is that water melts at -10 degree Celsius”

      So with that definition, no opinion can be wrong. Since if an opinion can be wrong, it would not be an opinion but a stated fact, or better said what the person thinks is fact.

      And applying this thinking to your initial comment, it should show why I was confused about you telling this stated facts are opinion that are wrong.

      And now comming back to your initial comment:

      In the post Xenia being furry is stated as a fact.
      Xenia hating systemd is stated as a fact.
      And PulseAudio having issues is stated as a fact.

      Which of course can be wrong.
