I’m sure you believe that dear. Now shoo.

Lmao of fucking course… God damn do I hate this timeline.

Okay Elon.

Ah, sorry, I guess I implied there’s something nefarious going on with Startpage. But there isn’t as far as I can tell. I just trust Mullvad more based on their track record. If you’re happy using Startpage keep using it.

I’ve had good luck with searxng.site, but yeah, public instances aren’t going to have the uptime and reliability of Google or DDG. Think of public instances as a test drive. You get a taste of what it can do but it’s a much better ride when you self-host.

I just checked and it doesn’t look like it (if you want to search for DDG bangs here’s the link, just scroll down a bit.). But you could always just add Leta as a search engine in your browser preferences and set a keystroke for it. For example, type L into the URL bar then space and it’ll use Leta for your query. (Note, I use Firefox, not sure if it’s the same with Chromium based browsers).

For what it’s worth, Mullvad recently opened up Leta to people without Mullvad VPN accounts. It’s a google/brave search proxy so pretty much what Startpage claims to do, but I trust Mullvad to actually respect my privacy more than I do Startpage.

I haven’t noticed any issues with the quality of DDG results, but if you feel the results are lackluster, you could try a metasearch engine like SearXNG. You can self-host it or use one of the many public instances maintained by the community. The main advantage, apart from the privacy focused aspect of the project, is that you can pull results from multiple search engines with a single query. It’s highly customizable too. You can configure it exactly how you want.

Yes, and I explained why the phrase is worded the way it is because you clearly didn’t understand.

You’re too focused on the word “extraordinary” but all this adage is meant to convey is that claims require evidence. If you ignore the word “extraordinary” the point remains the same.

The phrase is popular among skeptics because we deal with a lot of paranormal claims. And paranormal claims are by definition, extraordinary.

True. Say what you will about prop comedy but Carrot Top didn’t get famous because he was bad at it.

With that kind of naiveté it’s remarkable he even has a business to lose, but sadly, I have no doubt he’s every bit as stupid as he seems. I deal with a lot of very dumb small business owners in my own industry.

And yet he went with a full, big, heavy prop for a tired pun.

Never go full Carrot Top.

Yep. Trump’s going to contradict this statement within 24hrs, guaranteed.

You’re telling me the guy who thought this was hilarious, isn’t funny?

Yeah, that tracks.

Edit: For anyone OOTL he walked into Twitter HQ with a sink and tweeted “Entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!”

The reaction in the town of 8,500 residents may show the limits of support for President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in a majority Hispanic region dotted with fields of cotton, sugarcane and red grapefruit where Republicans made gains in last year’s elections. Cameron County voted for a GOP president for the first time since 2004. For neighboring Starr County, it was the first time since 1896.

This is what you voted for.

Donald Trump was reportedly “unhappy” and “frustrated” after learning Elon Musk would be briefed at the Pentagon in March on secret U.S. war plans involving China.

Who the fuck is in charge here? I mean, it’s obvious Trump sold the Presidency to Musk for the $290mil he spent getting Trump elected and as a result - out of prison. But it still needs to be said. There is nothing normal about a President being upset because he “found out” that an unelected neo-Nazi from South Africa is being briefed on war plans. Trump isn’t just the weakest President of all time, he’s a straight-up puppet.

Well, I don’t blame Canada one bit. We’ve proven to be shitty neighbors that can’t be trusted.
