I used to be that guy. Then I realized asking eachother questions is just part of the human experience. I know we can both google it, but maybe you just wanted to talk to me instead of a computer. Maybe ill ask you something I already know or could easily google so you can feel smart and helpful answering my question. Life is nicer when you have positive interactions with people instead of searching for every minute way you could belittle them
So fucking true. People ask questions on forums and social media to talk to other people. So many have forgotten the entire purpose of this whole thing.
Obviously context matters here. I’m usually happy to answer most questions. I reserve those types of ‘just google it’ responses for the people who skip FAQs, ping me when they know I’m focused/busy and generally don’t respect my time.
For me experiences from real people are worlds better than googling. “Go from A to B” might seem straightforward but a human could tell you be carefull in the middle because there’s a pothole. Information from people is more helpful.
If it’s not that hard to find a source, then it’s not that hard to provide a source. You’re not doing other people’s work for them by being kind enough to provide evidence for your assertions. They’re less likely to hear what you have to say if you just brush them off and say “it’s common sense” or “it’s easy to find just search it yourself.”
If I wanted to Google it I would. I’m asking you because I have reason to believe you are knowledgeable on the subject and also because i’m lonely and value conversation.
How powerful are questions? The mana cost on this could make this card busted.
