@rachelsklar but it's not "advising." It's "coffee." and "brain picking." -
@avantgame (This will make them retreat. A complete stranger who asked me for coffee pouted that it seemed to "transactional." I said, yes!) -
@avantgame Happy to discuss more via DM or email. This is a big topic on the listserv I run@thelist.@cindygallop is great at line-drawing. -
@rachelsklar@avantgame@thelist@cindygallop twitter won't allow me to scream YEAH!! loudly enough in agreement w/@rachelsklar on this one -

@avantgame Basically, their theory is that there's nothing wrong with them asking, it's up to you to determine whether you'd get value. -
@avantgame So they get to pretend that they aren't coercively leveraging institutional power and taking advantage of social expectations. -
@chaosprime that's the truth!!

@avantgame Too much social calculation going on, maybe? Ignore that and just say yes when you feel like it and no when you feel like it. -
@buster I am seriously just so perplexed by the expectations other people seem to have about how much networking and brain picking is approp -
@avantgame It's definitely a game with no expectation of good manners. Enforce your own rules!

@avantgame I can only imagine which one! Put yourself on@getmoreclarity and make it at least a value based transaction. -
