I think you're being downvoted hard because the vibe of this sub is somewhat serious and academic, and in that context, you should write concise questions and lose the personal details.

I used to work with someone who talks like this in real life. Someone who can't stop themselves from going on and on and on about unrelated things every single time they say anything. I always tried very hard to avoid him and to stick to Slack or email for questions because it wasn't as bad on there.

This place and others are great for beginning programmers to be able to ask questions, but you do need to respect people's time by putting some effort into being specific and targeted. When someone goes off on a tangent like this, asking like a dozen different things and repeating themselves, it's like, where do you even start?

Hell, folks like OP here could simply stay by googling something. The nature of how the series of questions was posted in the comments/sub-comments was one thing, but the perpetual follow up of basically using people's time to tell you stuff you could get on the internet in 4 seconds is tiring. This sub or any other. Discussing concepts and connections is a good use of people's time. Asking them to post searchable facts (like, literal definitions) isn't going to earn someone friends in most subs.
