I'm an engineer. I'm reaaally into doing my own research. Like if I want to know how to replace a part on a car. Things where there's a right way and a wrong way. It's not personal.

But for things that are more nuanced like lifestyle choices, experiences and such, I absolutely value the opinions of others based on their experiences. If you try to Google something like this you're going to end up with all sorts of websites that will deliver a description largely based on who is behind it. There's a ton of info on places on the web that are trying to sell you on visiting somewhere to spend your money because they are backed by or influenced by the travel industry.

The group here are going to give feedback without incentive. So for something like this, I would do the same thing. It's not laziness, it's using the correct sources for the research based on the situation.

There's no need to comment, you are not obligated to respond. Being someone who hates laziness I'm assuming you have a mountain of other things you'd be more productive at than making other people feel small for asking for opinions from people.

So try to lighten up and be part of the solution not the problem. It's okay to ask other for advice. It doesn't make you lazy, it makes you curious. You should spend some time reflecting on your impulses.
