    Not trying to stoke the flames here, but genuinely curious what phenomenon the meme is pointing too? Again, not trying to come from a place of concern trolling or anything. Please don’t bully me~~~

      Hey guys I’m a noob here and I’ve done a lot of hunting but I can’t figure out X.

      Something like that I’m interpreting

        I don’t think people should have to do that, but including context is generally an important part of asking a question.

        Like if I’m trying to fix a problem and I need help I’d be like “I’m getting error code 123 on my printer (make, model). I’ve tried turning it off and on again, unplugged it from the wall, but the error always pops up as soon as it finishes powering on. Anyone have any experience with this and how to solve it?”

          Your example is not at all the same thing. To make your example fit you’d need to change it to something like: “hey guys I’ve tried googling this and I’m just not very good with printers as unfortunately I haven’t owned one until now”. Then asking the actual question, like then place what you said after what I said.

          You shouldn’t need to have the part I said. You’re basically adding in the part because you’re worried someone might call you an idiot or something for not knowing the answer to your question if it turns out it’s something simple that other people know (simple for people who know it anyway).

          That’s the point…

      Any unusual want caused by unusual life circumstances. If the people who could know how to help you, don’t want to because they can’t related, they wont. If you don’t have the bog standard life goals, you’ll be stuck in the mud.

      No, I shouldn’t have had to explain to my guidance counselors why I wanted out of the remedial classes. I shouldn’t have had to deal with 4 years in high school of them attempting to gaslight into believe that a career is the only thing I need to worry about.
