Is this some sort of post-modernist I’m too cool because I’ll pretend I’m dumb thing ?
The bank HSBC is literally the first item to come up on both google and duckduckgo on a search for “HSBC” similarly it’s whats listed if you type it into wikipedia.
It seems awfully improbable that you actually did a search on a search engine and failed to come up with an answer.
Do I think HSBC and its CEO are someone you should care about ? Hell no. But a 5 year old could manage to successfully search the term.
I’m a millennial. And I’ve already got the boomer mentality with young adults. I’m not sure if it’s my experience or whatever but some of these kids skill or will is just dead and replaced with whatever truth they choose to believe.
In fairness the boomers are the leading proponents of it, so you can’t blame kids for following role models (assuming OP is a kid is a bit of a leap tbh). Anyway, yes, lack of skill or will is frustrating.
I shared my experience and a user better than you in every aspect helpfully explained the context I was searching for. It’s this “basic communication” thing that non-antisocial living beings use to increase survival odds. Do you need me to explain more than that?
Yes, actually, can you explain how you were unable to successfully perform a search of such basic level that a child could do it ? Something that you clearly STATED you had done. Did you ACTUALLY type those 4 letters into a search engine ?
Or were you perhaps too lazy to actually do so ?
The explanation I’d most like to hear though is why you think pretending to be incompetent is a good thing rather than embarrassing ?
You get tons of search results for HSBC but none of mine were about a bank.
Really ? And what search engine were you using, because at a quick test via vpn google in USA, UK, NL, MX, and AU all came up with it as the first option.
Or you could you know type hsbc.com into your browser and immediately work it out from the big “online banking” link in the right corner.

Rhetorical Question, Farley.

To put it another way, I don’t believe you.
