What are some tips and tricks to help in doing online research about a particular topic?
  • It sounds like someone who is a novice and independent researcher. They are probably not in school or otherwise have a lot of guidance.

    You are right on point here. Having no access to proper guidance and support that usually is quite expensive for me, I've to resort to free or pirated resources available online. But even there I struggle to find exactly what I'm looking for.

    But I would primarily rely on subject experts to guide interpretation.

    These, for me, are case laws or interpretation by jurists. But finding that exact case which discusses my precise question is the tricky part. I'm aware that quite a few of these case laws are available online. Just a bit beyond my search for now.

    Learning how to ask questions is part of learning how to find answers.

    This is quite helpful. In a manner, this is the essence of my query here. How do I ask questions when using net to get the response I'm seeking. Perhaps it would be better if I were to incorporate this reply into the post itself.

    Thank you for taking time to respond!

  • What are some tips and tricks to help in doing online research about a particular topic?

    This is one of my goals of the year - to better myself at doing online research. I wish to be able to get more precise (?) results for what I am searching. Idk if I'm making myself clear here but I'd greatly appreciate any tips that you may have for me. Thanks in advance!

    Edit: As pointed out in responses so far, my issue lies in not knowing how to properly ask the internet the question which I want answered. It's mostly a discussion about precise legal point that I seek in a judgement or academic article.

    3 people have acquired malaria in the US. They’re the first in 20 years.
  • Malaria isn't communicable. Also, it is not fatal as long as it does not go undiagnosed/untreated.

  • "Cis" and "trans" are different types of a person's.... what?
  • I agree with what you're stating and I hope that that's where we are headed - there just being man, woman, and non-binary gender identities. For now though, as I see it, cis/trans become relevant in three ways (off the top of my head):

    1. Medical situations - self explanatory
    2. In pursuance of romantic/sexual relations - society is still at the stage where the visual perception of a person lead to certain presumptions. Not everyone may be okay with dating/having sex with a person who has different genitalia than they presumed that their partner would have.
    3. [This point is my personal opinion] The visibility of people openly owning their journey can be a source of information, give courage to others who are undergoing the same journey and are scared or confused. I knew about my orientation way before I realized that there's a term for it or that their are others like me.

    I hope I got your query right.

  • What do you think of people making memes/jokes about the recent Titan tragedy?
  • More so as >300 out of those 500 are believed to be Pakistani nationals trying to flee the worst economic crisis their country has seen in decades while the son of a Pakistani businessman felt compelled to splurge that kind of money on a bonding exercise.

  • canada rule
  • Pity! Had it been true, Canadians could've gotten free transportation as well...

  • I need to survive for 3 days while pooping as much as possible. I can pee as often as I like. It can take up loads of space. What food do I pack?
  • Come over. I'm sure I can cook you some diarrhea-inducing food. It'll be spicy as hell, so sweating and peeing gets sorted too. And I'm sure it's not going to be easy to find.

  • You can have any superpower, but the first person to reply chooses a side effect
  • Ability to successfully persuade any living being to do what I want them to do.

  • What are some fun Hindi phrases I can share with telemarketers calling from India?
  • @52fighters I guess asking them to scream "Pakistan zindabad" (praising Pakistan) or "Hindustan Murdabad" (Down with India) can put them under stress. Especially if you insist that they shout it before proceeding with whatever they want to talk about. However, if I were in your place, I'd start pitching a sale for some made-up product to them.
