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.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

It still feels like something I should try and read, House of Leaves. I don't think I'll suuuuper enjoy it, mostly because horror is very much not my jam, but use of medium very much is!
Twilight was easy to read is another bonus for it. You can tear through them quickly. Which is what I did when told I had to read them by my boss. I read the first two in...twoish days, returned them, said "Okay I've read the first two, please don't make me read more" and she said okay.
Just curious, why did your boss require you to read Twilight?
It was Borders and sometimes she just wanted us to read a popular book so we could talk to customers about it. It was right before the midnight release of the 4th book, and I'd be register that night, so she wanted me to...try and talk about it, I guess.
I just sold them the books and wished them a good night and hoped they enjoyed it instead!
Have worked at Barnes and Noble before, the Harry Potter Craze was insane, I get it
