Please stop…

…commenting on posts to impart advice on topics for which you have little or no tangible experience that would help the OP. What’s worse is if you bullshit your answer and conflate anecdotal evidence with direct experience.


This is not LinkedIn, which is full of crippling imposter syndrome and the need to flex ones fake knowledge base. Perhaps a feature to follow posts without having to comment would be helpful here, but in the absence of one—comment with a show of interest in the topic, but don’t act like you have relevant experience for the sake of having a loud voice.


U mad? Ain’t care.

Blockbuster employees could have ruled the world.  Rewards cards selling , popcorn bowl add ons, emptying drop box 78 times an hour with some dude over your shoulder who needed DiE Hard, setting up the most complex POS displays, angry late fee customers??? All While wearing hideous khakis and blue dress shirts? That’s mad skills… juuuuust saying. 

not that I worked there… 😬

I agree and I emphasize the following:

here’s my family recipe for perfect pinto beans on an instant pot.

Rinse off 5 cups of bulk pinto beans.
(If bought in bulk double check there are no small rocks)

Add beans to instant pot (I use 6 quarts one)

Fill instant pot with water to max line

Add salt, garlic, pepper, chipotles, to taste and 4 bay leafs.

Close lid and seal instant pot and select high pressure for 55 min.


Once finished quick release pressure.


How to serve - beans in its broth is delicious.

Use a small bowl and add some avocado, and queso fresco for a delicious lunch / dinner.

Best part is you can freeze them, refry them later and always have choice beans on hand 😋

I agree. And if you don't have something insightful or useful to comment (like myself in most cases), at least say something funny. There's more value in humor than putting together some big words that offer zero practical advice.

This is SUCH a good callout. Thank you for posting what we are all thinking.

Also, I think you hit the nail on the head that perhaps the reason there is so much noise is the defacto way to follow a thread is having to comment. 

Bravado -- I know it's 'on the list' to add a follow posts feature, but hopefully this perspective of how it would enhance the community experience will be valuable. ;)

There are also an extra level of newbie posts this week about "should I go to oracle or facebook / where to start".

Opinions vs advice…..been noticing it more and more. Sellers with 1-2-3 years of experience speaking like the Oracle of enlightenment. There is a generational send of entitlement that causes this.

I’ve earned 30k commish with solid contributions and the rare shit post or comment. So I’m not triggered.
