Seriously guys, I'm really getting sick of this. Yes, it's important to learn how to research, but remember when they invented the calculator and the teacher kept telling you how important it was to learn to do it on paper, and yet...there's a fucking calculator?
This place is our calculator. Nobody is going to take anyone else's words at face value, true. And we shouldn't. But the truth is not everyone knows what everyone else knows and we're not going to learn what everyone knows if we keep sticking our noses in the air and saying "look it up yourself."
You looked it up apparently, do us all a favor and show us where you looked. It will help get us all where we need to be a hell of a lot faster.
Yeah, sauce required.
But there are a lot who come in and ask for all kind.of details. In turn they should go research it themselves rather than badger the person who posted or anyone else.
Most of the time someone gets that reply for that reason. They ask for detaisl that have not been found/researched. And instead of contributing they get pussy at the thought of habing to do.it themselves.
I understand we all place our feet on the road at different times and places.
I'm extremely tolerant of beginners....but for those who say
"what does it say" because they're too lazy to read an article I will refer them to the article.
2 hour video?...I want a time marker for the spot the relevant info is at in the video.
24 page document? Point to the page[s] the info can be found on.
Agreed wholeheartedly that people need to actually USE the info people have, and get to work if someone doesn't know the answer to something, but when someone claims they DO have the answer to something, and refuses to provide a fellow pede with the info, give me a break. We can do better than that.
Oooooh look some newfag trying to tell me how to Q.
Fuck off. You're apparently too fucking new to KNOW that the WHOLE Q THING IS...
SPECIFICALLY...
RESEARCH IT YOURSELF!
That is why Q posts are CODED...
FOR ABSOLUTE FUCK SAKE YOU POSEUR.
The ENTIRE FUCKING POINT IS... YOU DO NOT GET FED ONE PERSON'S PROPAGANDA WHEN YOU RESEARCH IT YOUR FUCKING SELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bruh,
Chill
You aren't getting fed 1 person's propaganda. They ask you for proof of X and you provide that proof. Sometimes you could find a great article that summarizes your research in a dig. The point of research it yourself is not to hide that article (or rather, leave it hidden), but to bring it to people's attention.
If people decide to believe it at face value, that's their own choice, if they decide they want to dig more into it, that is also their choice. Without knowledge of its existence, how could they dig. Must they dig for evidence in the same way you did to find it? Maybe you do it one way and they do it another way.
Maybe they're just lazy. In the end, it's not man's job to judge the heart, it is God's.
P.S. I neither updooted, nor downdooted (for reference), just trying to give you my .02
Reading the comments below, a lot of people are blaming laziness as the reason for people not wanting to do their own research.
I think the biggest issue is a lot of people are simply too busy and wore out by the end of the day. For myself, after I finish a long day at work, spend time with my family, do chores and so on. Most evenings I only get 15 -30mins max screen time. I sometimes only want a brief overview of the days happenings. I have no interest in watching a 2 hour video, no matter what the topic
And I have no interest in rolling it all up for you. Maybe hire a personal assistant, if you're so pre-occupied. Operative word being, "hire".
How you ask goes a long way. A polite request gets sauce from me way more than an impatient, ignorantly worded demand.
Or, as I recently encountered, someone making an authoritative statement that was completely wrong, got called on it, then get indignant that their ignorance was noticed and demanded proof they were wrong.
It's like WTF, man. This is basic shit you should know and NOT have to be this dumb over. Don't speak about shit unless your argument is watertight.
Right. If you end up being wrong about something, be an adult and happy you're enlightened now. I actually see quite a bit of contrition in this community in those circumstances. As well, there are some egotists who refuse to be wrong and hopefully they grow out of that someday. The most important things are getting the facts straight and getting it out there in a constructive way, IMO
agreed. makes a big difference.
Yeah but seriously some people are too fucking lazy to do the most basic search. Talked about a video by an English Guy about 9/11 and 7/7 say his name the name of the video still get loads of requests for 'the link' Even fucking google brings it up on its first page.
Yup, this is big pet peeve of mine too. If I can spend 10 seconds on a Google search, then so the fuck can you.
also true.
