As a general rule, op: "than" is used for comparisons (e.g. "I am smarter than op"), "then" is used for everything else (e.g. "I mean do it earlier then, champ").

Yes sir. "Than" is comparative, "then" delineates time.

It's like as soon as you start criticizing grammar, all your grammar knowledge flies out the window. I know that feel, bro.

easy enough, "then" = time.

when you're referring to something in the past, it was "then".

Seriously. Even for someone learning the language, the different between your and you're should be very easy compared to a lot of shit English throws at you.

good example: Live and live. As in: How did you live through that car accident on the way to the show? You didn't miss much, the band sucks live.

Try explaining that one to someone new at English.
