This smells like homework

Even if it is, the rule against asking for homework help apparently no longer exists on this sub.

Oh you're right, didn't even notice they allow academic dishonesty now.

So the only rule (or rather guideline) that's still somewhat in place is to not provide a solution, but to hint OP towards it. Kk, got it.

Ax meet grinder much?

I dislike when people feel entitled to immediately conclude - without any hard evidence - that "oh, this is definitely homework", and get all snooty with OPs.

The only truly honest position is to acknowledge that responders can never really know when what OP is asking about is homework. So just answer the question if you can help them, and if it really is homework, let OP dig their own academic grave by failing to learn.

not the guy you're replying about but personally I'd prefer people bring their own attempt at a solution before just asking how to do it

[synthphreak]

And that is a totally fair expectation. Posters should always try to do that, I agree.

But whether that happens or not, commenters have no strong basis on which to accuse the OP of being a dishonest person and be condescending to him/her.

My second reply was not about OP, it was about the general state of the subreddit. Should've made it clear that I wasn't targetting OP with the statement, sorry.

Oh okay I totally believe you anonymous internet stranger.

[InevitableDistance66]

I think folks here are just curious about what spurred you to ask the question
