    Those people aren’t really looking for advice.

    What they really what is validation of what they already want to do.

    I’m amazed you were able to post it here.

    I used to do cryptic crosswords for fun, but instead, I now try to get posts accepted on r/ask or r/askreddit – it’s a much more challenging task.
