Older people love to give unsolicited medical advice that's been obsolete for 30+ years. No, Maude, I'm not getting a lobotomy.

Someone just literally climbed out of a dumpster and gave me medical advice

I wish something like #UnsolicitedAdvice would take off for a hashtag, for those "not enjoying the rise of fascism? Do <bunch of things a bunch of people would love to have the ability to do>" toots which people love to make.
I would just like to be able to stick them behind a CW and choose when to see them.

unsolicited advice: memorize phone numbers of a few people (with good contacts) who will actually help you if something unusual happens to you (usually that ain't your momma) #resist #safetyfirst #unsolicitedadvice #uspol #SorryMom

Why invest in an expensive home security system that probably doesn't even work, when you can instead adopt a cat? Kitty will provide love and affection AND watch your house for you. (Until it's nap time) #cat #pets #catsofmastodon #catsofpixelfed #pixelfed #pxlmo #aww

Shows an American short haired cat staring out the window. The picture is from the back of the cat.The same cat sleeping with her back next to the window. Obviously not doing much security work.

@jcrabapple @austincnunn I wish Vans (and Chucks) fit me. I’ve got oddly square feet lol.

I did find these a few years ago and love them. Not quite a skate shoe but they look good and wear great. xeroshoes.com/shop/shoes/dillo

In this, as in many other situations,

I see a lot of people imply that there are universal rules, or universal ethics

(which end up just as universal as they get inside a specific subculture or city etc)..

The abhorrance on unsolicited advice sp. if done by individuals a special combination of gender identity and sex, became a thing and a cultural mark in difference instances of queer culture. And a lot of people consider it an "obvious ethic rule".

But not.

It is individual as pronouns, gender, implicit consent preference. Not obvious by the person moving in certain contexts. Don't assume.

Diversity exists also about the methods + tools used to navigate the world + build our safety and happiness.

starting fire wars if a cis dude gives unsolicited advice but not with other people signalizes that some ppl can get away with breaking etikete and rules and it was never about the rule anyway.

A mindfuck.

Think about it.

@rich

"...always including at least one edict along the lines of "don't post unsolicited advice"

uh...

Not very self-aware, are you?

Or is this supposed to be funny?

In the category of unsolicited advice, I've found fedilab @apps
to be able to recall the position of the timelines.
It's a mountain of reading tho.

tl;dr: if someone expresses a problem or concern with their computer, responding with “install this Linux distribution” is very, very rarely a helpful response.
