Are you too lazy to think?

Mylot does require some thought, especially if you want to include detailed fact, and reference links. Some posts require research, and emotion, to boot. Some people work long shifts, and by the time they get off work just want to vegetate and watch tv. Sometimes you have to force yourself to work on mylot. Some people who wear reading glasses have it harder. They put three times as much brain power into things, because of all the focus they put on their eyes. I think it is rough, I am more apt to use mylot on the weekends than on the weekdays. I work 10-12 hours a day in my offline job, so I understand not wanting to get on here right away. It is good, though, when you do. Even if you make a small committment of one post a day. It helps exercise your brain. Just like your body needs exercise, so does the brain. I often advise people to buy those books with logic problems and math puzzles. Doing one a day is really good to keep alert and sharp. Just like learning a little bit about current events every day, and historical events, and eating right, and common day advice. My lot pays us to learn and engage, and I wish your friend would reconsider, even if just one post a day, he will get ahead, brainwise, and over time build up his ranking.

I don't choose discussions to respond to. I go with whatever is there on top of the line. I do get lazy at times though but not of thinking of words to say..let's just say plain lazy of responding to anything. Sometimes my laziness ends up with 1-2 responses but that's it. I go and answer almost every discussion I pass through when I am not that lazy.

I like some deep thinkking one some times I takes me awhile to answer them tho as I have to think about them. And I am one that gives short answers but then sometimes that is all that is needed

It's not like I'm too lazy to think it's sometimes my mood to write it down. Sometimes I read something in mylot (specially those deep thinking discussions) and make up my opinion about it but then I'm too lazy to write anything or I'm not interesting in replying the question anymore. It's weird I know but I've mylot phases, sometimes I go here and respond to multiple discussions because I want to earn money, sometimes I go here but end up not doing nothing :/ Just reading :)

It does depend on how I am feeling as to which type of discussion I will avoid versus the ones I’ll reply to. If I am tired, have a headache etc...of course the simpler ‘non thinking’ ones are the go although I find it a job trying to be original with my responses either way some days! It also depends on the topic of course; it is irrelevant how I feel if the topic is of little interest to me.

yes i do sometimes feel pretty tired to think with what to write here at mylot. oh well, i have to agree with you as if one would really want to stay here at mylot, they should always be enthusiastic to respond to interesting topics.

I try to give decent responses, and if I don't think I can, I just don't answer. It is sometimes very difficult for me to come up with something that I feel is worthwhile to write. So, yes, I guess I am.

I probably do a mix of both. Most of the time I avoid the ones that have controversy as I am convinced that I will not change anyone's point of view. I do not mind some philosophical discussions, though, and I certainly do not like the overly simple ones. (Do you like cake?) There are times when I do not have the energy to put into a good response, even if I wanted to, and I admit to just skipping them on that day. Then I find a day like today when I have a lot of time, and I am not really finding many things to respond to.

yes you are absolutely right zandi. Most of the mylotters prefer lightweight discussions.There is nothing wrong in that. We have limited time and within that time we need to perform and also earn a few bucks from mylot. I do love to take up heavyweight discussions when I am having enough time to spend at mylot.

Hi Zandi, I like both and answer both, I am a deep person myself and when there is a deep thinking discussion it makes me think to what is being said and sometimes there is something in between the lines as well to answer too, those I find interesting but other times the more light hearted ones are just easier to answer or give advice to. For me I like and and answer both sorts, I like to have something to think deeply about before answering....LoLo

I really prefer to have to think a little bit. U know i alweays enjoy yours. Some of the discussions i see are ridiculous. i'm sure people think mine are to & that's their right.

I like to get involved in discussions that give me the opportunity to help others and have a good two way discussion. I also tend to hang around the silly and irrelavant discussions just because they are so much fun. I have noticed that when you don't make an appearance in your friends discussions they won't bother with yours. In fact you might even get removed from their friends list. I really miss grandpa bob.

The thinking is the easy part. It's the actual doing I have trouble with. I'll respond to anything I have some or a lot of interest or knowledge in. It's usually fun the come up with answers and ponder discussions.

yes, I see what you think, too ... at mylot sometime and somebody just choose topic discussions simple. For me, its not means they lazy to think. My assumption they find convenience only. Give respond and get money, like me

Too lazy to think. Seems interesting. Only one thing I can say- You are lazy, when you are doing work. And when you are doing work, you can't think. Therefore WHEN YOU ARE LAZY- YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO THINK. That is a fact..

Hi angl, There are two ways to look into this matter. First thing is that presently there are more of the newbies and less the veterans. Most newbies are attracted by lighter topics and intentionally avoid heavy and serious topic. ( Not only the new lotters but also the veterans avoid serious one and have example of that ) The new comers are trying to adjust with the atmosphere here and thee are excellent writers among them. Second thing most veterans do not encourage the newbies as I have seen while commenting back they are choosy. They pick up only you and me ( I am too left out some time ) and the new faces are utterly neglected. This is unethical in my opinion. And the most important thing is that our moods do not remain on the same scale all the time. Myself specilally feel tired just before I go off and would not pick up any discussion that demands heavy cells of the brain and hence like you I to look for a lighter one so that I do not need to think much. What I feel is that when you are not in mood it is better not to response. In such situation I opt to take up the uncommented responses and take up a few of them and when I see that they need a bit explanation again I pull off. This is why I think your frioend and most of us at times are too lazy to think.

Actually I was planning to create a discussion today when all of a sudden i got a bit lazy and started watching videos instead, youtube videos to be exact. sometimes it's really hard to think my brains out. i would check first if such discussion had already been made.

I'm some sort of a thinker........so no, I'm not lazy to think.... but in myLot..u don't really need to be that much of a thinker, you just come and have fun!

I really would have to say, I'm the most lazy person you may ever find. Hold on to this moment, you may never find a person as lazy as me. When I wake up, in my street clothes from the day before, I grab my computer, which is sitting on the floor next to my bed. I then log in to either an Mmo or to Facebook. Twelve hours pass. I shut down my computer, put it next to my bed and fall asleep.

sometimes i tell my families and friends "slow down your pace of life, sit down and think qiuetly" who are working against time and lacking of relex. i like to stay here, sometime write, sometime read.
