Google or Duck Duck Go

Amazing easy to use search engines.

There are repeat advice seekers I'm recently finding annoying.

They really need to learn how to apply word searches and use these tools. I think many of us needlessly do that for them.

Am I being unfair here?

I think most of them are just really lonely and attention seeking people. They are probably not very interesting on their own, and their lives are probably too dull for them to be able to THINK of an interesting post...and yet they still want people to talk to them. Hence the dumba$$ posts of things they could look up for themselves. The whole POINT is that they want to talk.

@Gibbon Like I said, dear friend...they are just lonely people who need an excuse to talk to someone else.

@4meAndyou Maybe but I'm certain their situation keeps them quite busy. It's unique but the constant question is over the top. The solutions are easy. But they like asking medical advice on here instead of researching or seeing a doctor.

@Gibbon They simply don't rely on their skills to search for the right information, and then interpret it correctly for themselves.

You can also use any popular AI assistant for your searches.

@ABCDEF7 Whatever. You be you.

@Gibbon For me AI assistants give better results than google, bing or Duck Duck Go

@ABCDEF7 Good for you
In a way, yes. Because as I’m sure you well know, this place is about more than seeking simple information. It’s about making social connections, oftentimes very limited for these people. Many do use those posts as a way of satisfying their need for human contact, reaching out from their loneliness and solitude.

I use duckduckgo, event though they have some bias issues. Tried brave and the web scraper isn't as good. Duckduckgo is good enough for me.
Duck duck sold out to bill gates didn’t it..
It steers you just the same as google..,
