U ANAL?
in case you haven't seen the acronym before (it took me a minute the first time I saw it too!), it means "I Am Not A Lawyer". It's a disclaimer that the advice given is NOT legal advice.
If your post was just a joke: a) I thought the same thing when I first saw that b) no kink shaming 😅
No shame, just seems like a weird thing to declare before talking about your brother.
And it was a joke lol
You could sue a random Lemmy user for seemingly giving legal advice? Or what's the need for a disclaimer? That sounds so strange
This is used by non-lawyers who are seeking to avoid accusations of unauthorized practice of law and are not making any recommendation to the particular addressee of their remarks. -Wikipedia
Basically it's a disclaimer to avoid any potential issues, given how litigious some situations can get, it's best to be overprotective with any potentially legal advice
There's PLENTY if people ready to sue left and right (and attorneys happy to take their money) at the drop of a hat if they feel they have been wronged because they can't look at themselves in the mirror and say "yeah, I was an idiot on that one".
Have you looked at the "florida man" or "not the onion" communities? People are crazy.
IANAL and my stepbro used to work in DP law until it broke me
