It seems that this forum has a few members that are completely incapable of properly using search engines. As most of us know, all the solutions to our problems can be found via search engines. If you have the patience to try, you'll find an answer to virtually any problem that you have. These solutions range from help on real life questions (ie. what method of suicide is the best) to even the simplest of computer queries, such as how to save a document in Microsoft Word.

Am I just that smart that I don't usually have a problem finding things, or are people just that lazy and/or stupid to figure out the simplest of tasks?

Of course not, with google, you have unlimited techniques you can use to simplify your search.


However, with I will admit, renforum's search engine is pretty screwed up, it'd either give no results, or give results completely irrevelant to what you searched for. D:

Yeah, people just need a bit more patience...the only thing I HATE about renforums search is that the word you searched for comes highlighted. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

It has nothing to do with being lazy. It has to do with decency between human beings. Why the fuck do most people choose to say GOOGLE IT GOD DAMN NEWBS FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

When they could have just said "Potassium"

When you ask someone what time it is in real life to people tell you to fucking find it yourself. Or if I stop and ask firemen sitting outside the firestation if they know where such and such street is, do they say "GOD DAMN NOOB USE FUCKING GOOGLE MAPS THATS WHAT ITS FOR"? No they don't. So why the hell is the internet so abrasive about helping each other out?

Because there's such things as "alternatives". When you're online, you can open up a new window or a new tab and go to Google/Yahoo!/Cuil/etc... to figure out your answer. If you don't have a watch or a cell phone, and there's no clock tower anywhere near you, then you don't have much of a choice other than going ignorant of the time. As for finding a street, if you don't have GPS service or a phone with internet capabilities, you're pretty much SOL. Plus, as a tax payer, I pay for the firefighter's services. Smile

Not to mention that when most people ask here, it's stupid questions, and they ask it ALL the time. If you ask the same person/people day in and day out about things you can figure out on your own, then yes, I do expect those people to get pissy and start to not be willing to answer the questions.

THEN there's the fact that half of the questions asked are not much harder than figuring out what hand is your right hand. Are we in kindergarten again?
