    Or, you know, you could take 30 seconds to inform yourself… But, then again, that would mean that you can’t feign ignorance about the topic anymore.

      Did you know Google doesn’t give the same results to each person and actually hides results? This is why it is important to reference websites in socal media when trying to make a point. Stop thinking everyone has access to whatever you see.

        Yes, I know how Google works. Which also means that I know how to use the search to get the results I need.

            aren’t you the one who wants the information? why are you demanding others find it for you?

              Sure, if I knew what they were searching for and where. You are also making huge assumptions on the search capabilities of the average person. It’s better to link to its when making an argument so all parties have access to the information.

                Sure, if I knew what they were searching for

                you said so yourself in your first comment in this thread:

                I believe they are referring to the Georgia Floyd protests, though I’m not aware of any significant sentences related to that.

                also

                and where

                if you’re curious as to what search engine to use, the one mentioned several times in this comment thread (including by you):

                Google

                also

                You are also making huge assumptions on the search capabilities of the average person.

                show me where i made these alleged assumptions. a quote or a link to the comment would do.

                It’s better to link to its when making an argument so all parties have access to the information.

                please do
