Yes. I have regularly been using DDG, but would wind up using google sometimes anyway. Now I’m actively forced to use other engines because google is now a monetized results server and will return zero or no relevant results in favor or sponsored or monetized results.

Yes, however the ship itself will need maintenance and operators, and can be flagged in whatever country of convenience that offers the best ability to pay the least. No property taxes, far fewer environmental rules, free water, etc.

Thank god the tornado destroyed my neighbor’s house and not mine.

Thank god those kids in poor countries are starving and not me.

Thank god for killing kids with cancer.

They never attribute to god the things that a god could prevent, or in fact deliberately willed to happen, but they’re sure happy to strip someone of their accomplishments and effort by attributing them to god’s will.

Greedy evildoer wants SuperDino for nefarious purposes and must be defeated. Repeat.

Someone did a brief writeup on Swartz and Reddit on reddit. Pretty sure it’s been deleted, I saved it and it’s gone. It went against the hivemind take on Swartz as some sort of noble freedom fighter and offered evidence that he was naive, out of touch, didn’t have as much to do with Reddit as everyone thinks, and he was obviously troubled.

I have to take anything painting him as some kind of hero with a grain of salt.

IMO /all was overrated in the first place. It was overwhelmed with memes, more niche meme content, and whatever the shallow hivemind decided to upvote like fake TIFU or relationship_advice posts.

If you converted that to eMPG it would actually contribute to the conversation, particularly with the increasing costs of electricity.

Your electricity costs are awful.

Gotta go your own way. Trump is trying to take the world down with him. We only have a few weeks before the oil restriction will cause international concern and militaries will start moving to open up Hormuz. Shit can go bad there.
