Remeber for a while there used to be this website you'd create a link, which would direct you to a portal that would type your question into Google and hit enter. It was let me google that for you dot com or something.
It always felt like such a passive aggressive dick move ๐ when people just wanted answers from a real human they could interact with
We're all stupid about some things, but googling stuff has genuinely gotten harder these days. The answers are full of ads and AI garbage
You say "just wanted answers from a real human" and I hear "I'm too lazy to search and now I'm going to be a fucking time thief".
Someone asking doew not obligate you to respond. There is no theivery. You can walk away without saying anything. They cannot take your time from you.
You're choosing to waste it by responding with something unhelpful, though, and wasting their time for the sake of your unrequested public masturbation.
Equating answering a question to somebody stealing your time is not the hot take I was expecting to read this morning, lmao
time thief? are you fucking kidding me?
you realize you don't need to reply right???

This. Searching Google still nets valid first page results most of the time. Like it always has been, searching is a skill that you need to develop and maintain. When the results shift due to content drift, you need to adapt to remain effective.
If you can't be bothered to try, you don't get to throw a little baby tantrum because you didn't get the bottle put directly in your mouth.
How was the ten year sleep you apparently just woke up from?
