@Alice no, who are you?

@Ryan434 that's the problem, they haven't taught them self how to teach them self. I did it, I know MANY people that have done it. And even so they could ask how to find it them self instead of being expected to be spoon fed

Yeah and this shit is so common, I got tired of my previous job because of that, it's like there are two types of employees, the ones that research and experiment and get things done, and the ones that just ask the others everything. So it happened in my team that every employee that got things done left the company, except for me, so my every day was like:
Someone: hey I got this error, come and see it.
Me: What's the error?
Someone: You have to see it.
Me: did you Google it?
Someone: just come.
Me: I can't right now.
* two minutes later *
Team leader: hey please go and check someone's error so he can keep working.
Plot twist: is the same fucking error I keep showing everyone how to easily fix it every fucking day! Why the fuck can't even one single person do something as elemental as learning some easy task they have to do every day?
Even in meetings they say "he is the one who's done that, I can't do this because he know and I don't, but he can do it"... -

@-red @AL1L @gaaraDev I see google as a huge mass surveillance engine and thus I refuse to use their company name as a general word for searching stuff through search engines.
Same as with 'apping' here which is a synonym for whatsapping over here but since its related to Facebook which is (just like google) integrated within at leas one us powered mass surveillance network, I refuse to use that word.
So that's that :P -
@linuxxx could you stay on topic and keep your propaganda elsewhere
-
@AL1L I am on topic and if you think I'm not, I'd rather have you coming with arguments than calling my arguments/reasoning propaganda.
I'd also be nice if you could actually tell, instead of just saying that without arguments, why my comment would be propaganda.
I'm pointing out that I don't use two specific terms for the reason that the companies associated with them are very likely to be integrated within at least one mass surveillance network. I can bring sources if you'd like? I didn't make that up.
As for my reasoning behind why I don't want to use these words, that's subjective but I fail to see how its propaganda since I'm not trying to influence anyone with my opinion, I'm merely stating why I do or do not do something.
Propaganda is using facts and opinions to influence others (or, try to), I'm not trying to influence anyone. -
@linuxxx Propaganda: "information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view." (Not saying you're wrong but I didn't see any sources in there)
Also you are off topic, my post had nothing to do with what search engine was better or about using brands as words with meaning
I strongly dislike people who don't even try to gather information by themselves before asking others.
Now, I'm sure ALL of you have seen this, when someone has a problem with their code, printer, etc they ask you or someone else before just Googling the answer. Like ffs, you really think that you're so special that you feel like other people should Google stuff for you, like I need you to understand that you're not special, you're not unique and there's a VERY high chance someone has has the exact problem as you.
The most common question I see on Discord as a whole is "who ping" or "why ping" or something related. Ffs Discord had a fucking button that tells you who pinged you (yes I know that the sender can delete the message, but this is rarely the case and I always check before getting mad)
On a somewhat related note, I never understood why people ask "who are you" especially when they have a name tag or whatever (and double especially if it's online) like what do you expect them to say? Do you want their life story?
