Yup, asked a hypothetical question about tax evasion for American law and got made fun of for not knowing how American law works for tax evasion as someone whose not an American that practices law

It is kinda their fault for not being born knowing everything there is to know about everything.

Even worse when they’re like “Why didn’t you just google this?”
Gee, I dunno, maybe I wanted to talk out my problem with an actual person with thoughts and emotions. Maybe I’ll have followup questions. Maybe search engines are becoming increasingly unreliable anyways and the best, most useful answers from those web searches come from *this site* anyways.

I wanted to learn how to play poker today and I was unsure to how All In works, so I looked up if someone had already asked a similar question on r poker. The first reply was basically “I’m not gonna do consultation work for free, if you’re willing to pay I’ll explain.”

To be fair, sometimes the question is something like “Hi, I’m new to Reddit, and I don’t really know where to ask, but I don’t know where else to get this information. What’s 7 + 9? Sorry for my bad english.” Seriously, for the love of god, Google it before you post it.

Yo fr this fucking place is the only place where you’ll get downvoted for asking a simple question about the topic at hand.

To feel more at home, I have trained my AI to have the usual toxic Redditor reply when he talks to me.
“Yikes, the fact that you even had to ask this says everything. Maybe try Google before broadcasting your skill issue to the whole internet.”

Why is googling something suddenly an insult when you think some random redditor has all the answers?

The problem is that Google is much faster. The reddit search function is faster. The energy spent typing the question into a post could be spent getting that information yourself. Reddit isn’t your personal chatbot
