Sometimes it is warranted after all. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Cube6392@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I tell people this all the time. But I have to. It's like... If I don't, I won't know if I'm still real. I was on the train once headed into the city. A dude getting off the train looks me dead in the eye and says "never trust unsolicited advice" and then stepped through the door. That was it. That was the entire interaction. Completely blew my mind. I did ultimately decide it was legitimate advice. But still, it was wild being told not to trust the advice I was receiving. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] probably@beehaw.org 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) The fun thing about that is the dude gave you paradoxical advice. If you take theiradvice and don't trust unsolicited advice, then you are trusting unsolicited advice. If you don't take their advice then you are following their advice by not trusting unsolicited advice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Cube6392@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago Right?
