    Ngl I typically just avoid or info dump, depending on the company. If they’re direct though I ain’t gonna lie. You opened this can of worms, you’re gonna go fishing.

    Though there have been times I have advice but that’s more “the kids are asking age appropriate questions.”

      Ohh so that’s what that phrase came from.

        <.< Full disclosure, I made that up on the spot. And a quick google suggests there is no full saying, it means “you opened us up to more trouble/problems” where the worms are the trouble/problems in question.

          Too late. We’ve just witnessed a false “the full saying” be born. It will be remembered alongside such classics as “oftentimes better than a master of none”, and “satisfaction brought it back”

        Yeah hearing the full phrase is fun. Like “speak of the devil and so he shall appear”.
