Reply to comment by Acebladewing in LPT: If someone shows you their art, find at least one detail you enjoy: by Grass1323

What‘s your definition of an LPT? To me it just needs to be a tip that can be valuable for my life in some way.

That's part of it, but it also needs to be something clever that you normally wouldn't think of naturally. Philosophical advice doesn't fall into that category in my book. And, on the rare occasion that it might, it wouldn't be some basic ass advice like "be nice to others".

This actually isn‘t philosophical advice, but psychological one. As a teacher i use this concept and it definitely helps alot. Instead of saying „good job“ you take one or two specific things and compliment them. This is actual valuable feedback which will help people of all ages understand what exactly they did well. The same obviously goes for criticism, if you are specific people can actually learn. They will appreciate it.

I do agree it‘s „basic“, but many people don‘t know this so i don‘t see any harm in sharing it here.

The harm is wasting people's time having to scroll past it and also diluting the sub with basic shit everyone knows so the real LPTs are buried.

Advice is offering someone guidance or offering someone a recommendation.

Okay so it becomes a matter of opinion as to how significant an improvement it makes. In my field as a piano teacher it‘s essential. For others it isn‘t. Although everyone teaches something to others in their lives…

This truly is the worst sub. I have yet to see any LPT's that aren't completely torn apart.
