I guess they still are but they’re not as influential as they used to be. This is off the top of my head - resisting the urge to Google

Thanks , I appreciate you not Googling btw , I like the way that peoples personal recollection of things colors the information .
Pet peeve of mine is when you ask someone for information , and the sub-text is that you are looking for a conversation or someones personal opinion and insight , and they just remind you that you can google it . Hate that .
Yeah, I often feel the same.
Worst part of it is , if you point out the sub-text by saying , "yeah , but I want to know what you have to say" they often just google it for you , and you look like a desperate wierdo that is starved of conversation.
Lol, yeah - I know how to fucking Google, I just want to shoot the breeze
