You'll need to be more specific about which of the pictures of random guys you mean he looks nothing like

It looks like someone melted orange plastic on a dish sponge that was used to clean up a picnic table after a seafood boil

I got permabanned on there for saying child abusers should get beaten the same way they beat kids. The reason given for the ban was "promotes violence", I appealed the ban and their response was "we don't want people promoting child abuse, do not contact us anymore". I don't know if some admin was having a bad day or just illiterate but there are some power tripping mods and admins on there that will ban and remove for literally no good reason. The fact that they accused me of promoting child abuse when I was saying the complete opposite was pure trolling.

I get what you're saying about how people establish stronger pathways when they discover something on their own rather than copying something down but at the same time, that's how education works. You have something explained to you simply first, whether that's by human instruction like a prof or written instruction/visual demonstration like doing your own research on google. Of course there are low quality/high quality internet sources just like there are low quality/high quality professors and that goes back to how much of a desire the student has to learn, whether they just want to copy and paste answers or actually understand why it is that answer.

As a math teacher I'm sure you can agree that high level academics depends on having a understanding of the fundamentals. If I don't understand algebra or polynomials then It's going to take me a while to get a hang of derivatives or calculus and that doesn't mean I'm stupid or lazy, I just haven't devoted my life to that specific field because I have 9 other courses to study at the same time. Graduation numbers would be insanely low if we expected kids to figure everything out on their own without access to previous knowledge like the internet. Having the world's library at your fingertips gives you the ability to copy and paste but also the ability to be an autodidact, it really depends on that specific person's desire and goals.

I had a lot of foreign students as TA's for my calc courses, I know it's not their fault but it was really difficult for a lot of us to understand their accents and we didn't want to be rude by asking them to repeat themselves all the time. If I didn't learn google-fu for explanations on concepts I would have failed those classes easily.

I think that comes down to your desire to learn. One person might just repeat a google answer but another person might spend some time thinking about why it's the right answer.

Google is how people get degrees after all, it's the modern day version of hunting down books in libraries

Our phones are probably doing something to us

War? What is it good for?

And here I was thinking political assassins have a keen interest in horseback riding and swinging mallets

There's a reason why it's common for people to occasionally want to camp out in the middle of nowhere with no technology for a bit. If I read about some horrible news like a grandma getting shot picking olives on her own land I try to follow it up with something more lighthearted such as kittens hugging puppies. Like eating pickled ginger as a pallette cleanser between sushi.

It can be beneficial for a lot of sports

If I go in for my booty fingering and the doc bends over and starts speaking to me through their lower intestines, I'm walking right back out...to tell the secretary I'd like to book a weekly ass blasting with this mutant

There is a theory that natural human psychology wasn't made to handle all of the world's atrocities. People experience a "bad news burnout" because some of us constantly feel disappointed in humans as a race by hearing/seeing sociopathic behavior on an international level every day.

There are a lot of people who take the approach of "If I make absolutely no sense until the other person gets frustrated, that means I win".

Checkmate, you stupid round earth idiots

Alright, well, you should at least have a functional nub or two

Don't be lazy. You can type with your toes.
