The decline of google’s search engine has really been dramatic. It honestly is just a poor product at this point and I find myself having to use yandex, bing and variety of other tools now to find what I am looking for. My guess is that be

Google search is terrible these days. I find myself using other engines even yandex to find things these days. It has been in a decline now for at least the last 3-5 years. All this SEO garbage may be responsible but I still think google

What makes alcohol attractive. In my experience alcohol in many social situations helps people form a connection (cutting through layers of bs we masquerade around with). It helps people break the ice and form a bond .. both as just frien

Just my take as a middle aged human watching myself and others age I see a connection with alcohol / inflammation and aging. From my experience: people who drink frequently age much worse and this could be related to inflammation. Alc

Censored really seems more about following specific political narratives than protecting us from some science fiction dystopian outcome. Everything seems to be about driving human behavior. News, entertainment media are focused on driving

This is a strange attempt at trying to justify a clearly undemocratic move that is widely unpopular. Ohh but the system said it’s constitutional to do it this way … as long as it’s only done a few times …. Ohh and it was necessary to protec
