      6/ Why? To make sure that I'm being a SMALL !@#-hole, and not a large one. If, and only if, the answer is in the top google hit will I ask someone "what did google say when you asked?"

      7/ Finally, there is a very deep cultural difference hidden under this seemingly small matter of manners. In the west, for the last century or two, we have had this idea that teaching is a thing that is done; the recipient is passive. I blame the Progs.

      8/ My philosophy is that you are responsible for your own education. If you want to learn something, go research it. If, and only if, you've tried looking for data and can't find it, should you consider imposing on someone else.

      9/ This is manners (cultural norms), utilitarian ethics (you only use your own time instead of using both your own and someone else's) and virtue ethics (it is virtuous to be self actuated and to self educate). /exeunt

      Why did we go through all the effort to create a nearly ubiquitous worldwide information network and categorically add much of human knowledge to it to be quickly discovered with a handheld device you can take with you everywhere if people just demand to be fed anyway? pic.twitter.com/YOweUwIIH2

      11/ srs, tho, I think that part of the problem is that extroverts see "human interaction" as a BENEFIT, so asking someone is FUN - you BOTH GET TO HAVE A TIME, yapping & sharing mouth-sounds at each other all right thinking people realize, of course, that interaction is a cost

      12/ ok, interesting tangent and I'll double tangent: I think it's fine to say "hey, I googled XYZ - are you using it in the stock meaning, or is there a nuance to your use?" https://twitter.com/illiteralworst/status/1321459608293048320 …

      13/ there are some google dives that are hard, but most are easy I always google the bare term before responding "what did Google say when you googled 'XYZ' ?". https://twitter.com/ZeroBolusZero/status/1321459764820381696 …

      There are bots that were written on a lot of social media platforms to provide people answers to frequently asked questions. They're almost universally despised. This says to me that people asking common questions don't want your answer. They want your attention.

      I've moderated forums and a moderate sized subreddit. I already knew that most people are just attention seekers by the butthurt complaints the mods get to in response to removal of posts when a simple search (or often just reading the pinned FAQ) would have served them well.

      If only they knew just how much janitorial work goes into keeping a subreddit with a few tens of thousands of active users free of the clutter that was already answered elsewhere and better in the same sub.

          18/ I learned this, hard, at my first job, from a senior engineer. She'd only answer questions if I explained the first two or three things I'd tried before coming to her. https://twitter.com/illiteralworst/status/1321476382044483585 …
