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

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 vibe for it 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 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 experienced any issues with search results with DDG. But if you feel it’s a problem, 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 with it 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.

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

I heard they suck live

RHCP are mostly just horny for California.

Yeah, seems a bit misplaced. They were always a fairly bleak and moody band… and it only got darker when Billy Corgan started losing his hair, bought a synthesizer, and entered his Nosferatu era.

I’m just surprised it’s such a short list. I expect it’ll be much longer by the summer.

Good.
