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.

@4meAndyou thank you for providing this point of view with understanding.

@4meAndyou That seems true. But I feel bad for those people too.

@being MOST welcome. @ABCDEF7 You can't help but feel badly for them. But at the same time...they CAN be a bit annoying. Perhaps the best thing to do if they annoy you is to Mute them.

@4meAndyou I don't get annoyed easily. But sometimes they don't understand value of your time and energy.

@ABCDEF7 My friend, Gibbon, who posted this, might wish to mute them.

@4meAndyou Lol.. It seems I was actually annoying him.

@4meAndyou I might but their questions are legit. But every post I do a search and find an easy solution. Some I reply others I don't. I understand the fixation on the subject but these are easy things to solve on ones own without playing dumb and asking the world for a solution.

@ABCDEF7 THAT could not possibly be true. YOU are a sweetheart, and he is a dear. I am just sure the two of you absolutely love each other!!! 😇😇😇

@ABCDEF7 Annoyed? YES!!

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

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@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.
