Nah, I don't think it really qualifies as advice, just seems like sharing your perspective. Hypocrisy averted!


sort by: page size:

Is that actually good advice?

Genuinely not snarking, but isn't it just 'advice'?

Congratulations, you've reached the de minimis level of contrariness that that advice was meant to instill; provided you're not a hypocrit about it, you should do fine.

I don’t think it was meant as advice, just an explanation.

I would not really describe this as advice.

It's not advice :)

Yes, insofar as it matches the definition.

Does it harm anyone to offer advice of this sort? I think not.


Sure, it's not, so do not take it as advice, especially not ultimate advice. However, I find the inevitable intellectual shutdown when discussing matters like this even more repugnant and unwarranted.

Sure - but I think it's good advice regardless.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it's great advice!

So? Does that make it bad advice?

no, it's only advice.

It's unsolicited advice. Make of it what you will.

That part is not advice, it's just sharing what I would do.

Wait, the quoted text is considered advice? Ugh.

It's not advice at all, and I'm not sure why anybody would take it to be.

I think it's meant as parody, not insighful advice... ;)

Is the advice wrong?

I'm pretty sure it's a criticism of people. That said, if it is helpful advice to some people, maybe they should take it?
