Fair. It just seemed like Sliver is pretty vocal about most things, so I'm surprised there's a topic he's tip toeing around the concept/situation.
But then again, I'm the type who is full of candor and I point things out. If you have a chunk of salad, I'll pull you aside quickly and point it out so the individual can quietly go address it. For this case, I'd probably pull the individual aside and say, "Ain't something that bothers me, but as a friend, I just want to point out that I think this could affect things ranging from career etc. for you." But that's just me. Obviously I wouldn't have the discussion in a way like splashing cold water on the individual. But I wouldn't hesitate trying to figure out the best way to have the conversation in a respectful way.

I want my kids to do hard labour and some form of cashier job when they get older. Let them learn to deal with physical and emotional BS to strengthen their ability to survive their career longer term. Sure, it might sound old school. But I'm convinced that as my kids grow up, the best environment growing up will be a combination of old school and new school, not all old school and not all new ideas, new tools and concepts.
Younger generations are losing some skills that are highly valuable (ie: social skills, rule of thumbs) while also way ahead of the older generations with some of their ease of picking up new tools (ie: social media, AI, changing things up etc.).
