Rec | GOOGLING VS ASKING THE PERSON

😃

as i scroll on this app i go to comment and ask the person oh what’s the movie about? or where is this restaurant you’re recommending? or what is a campari soda and where the hell do i get it. but i can just google all these things! hmph. a conundrum. there’s something to not googling it and learning from someone else. i avoid going to the internet during a convo for this reason

Ask anyways, I think people usually love to talk about things they like or bring up!

@CHAMOMILEMISTY for sure! also i was looking at your profile and saw you recommended masterpiece from big thief in a thread! question for you, did you like any of their subsequent albums as much? cuz i absolutely loved masterpiece but didn’t give anything else much of a chance

@CHAMOMILEMISTY haha honestly i didnt much either, I do like some songs on their next album like shark smile and Haley but I feel like they start to quiet down so much and theres not the same overall rawness like masterpiece

reckon it’s the stories and sometimes downright bizarre or whimsical human experiences that come with them - that a wiki article, and definitely not ai, can‘t contend with if I’ve got the opportunity to ask random strangers from all over the place questions, especially about stuff they like, heck yeah I’ll ask ‘em

I’m a repeat offender of this, I once asked someone what Craigslist is on here and actually received a far more comprehensive response than anything the internet could’ve thrown at me

Having a conversation about a question before you google it

It's fun to talk about a thing and see if the person you're with has any knowledge about it before you automatically search it. Boomers often don't even conceive of bringing their questions to the internet, and most younger people do the exact opposite. It's nice to strike a balance and still have conversations.

PRETENDING I DON’T KNOW HOW TO GOOGLE THINGS AND ASKING FRIENDS MY BURNING ?S INSTEAD

Sure I *could* easily cut to the chase and find the answer to what I’m looking for online, but wouldnt I rather engage with my comrades to get their specific POV and solely rely on that? Like they had to in the good ole days (I assume)?

wondering

i’ve been really into not googling something i don’t need to know the answer to immediately and just wondering about it instead. you’d be surprised how many answers you can find in yourself!!
