I asked a question on a forum about why a command wasn’t working. They said I didn’t have an interpreter installed on my computer and were making fun of me. I showed them that I had one installed and that wasn’t the problem, but they continued to talk sarcastically to me without explaining anything. Only one of them suggested the cause of the problem, and he was right, so I thanked him. Then another guy said that if I couldn’t figure it out myself, I should do something else and that he was tired of people like me. After that, I deleted my question, and now I’m not sure. And I don’t think I want to ask for help ever again

    should I turn the whole internet inside out so as not to annoy you with my little question? It’s a pretty stressful job, isn’t it. ehh tell me another way to get out of poverty in a third world country and you’ll never see me again.

      Nobody owes you anything. People might help you if they see some potential in you, but too many noobs come to forum with a mindset “This is forum, so help me now, you lazy self-inflated rude assholes. NOW!”

      I can’t answer any more precisely without knowing what exactly you have asked.

        What may be obvious to others is not necessarily obvious to all, including enough foreground work by an individual before some magical threshold they have no way of understanding". This is inherent in all knowledge acquisition. It costs one literally nothing to ignore a post if it doesn’t suit your criteria for engaging.
