Anything with cats is inherently superior

Search engines should not use locational data including IP address to provide “more relevant” results. Checking for restaurants or weather forecast? You should have to manually add the relevant search terms. Want results in a specific language? You should have to manually apply this filter.

Convenience is not worth the potential harm of locationally biased search results.

For example, where I live is like White Nationalist Central Station. My search results are thus far more likely to net me results with a pro-US/nationalist skew, thus potentially entrenching or normalizing harmful beliefs.

Whenever I’ve tried bringing this up with Techlords, I get a feeble, “B-but then you couldn’t say ‘restaurants near me’ UnU” and like … good? It’s not like it’s hard to type city and state in the search field.

I’ve never found a search engine that even has this as an option. Even Sear XNG instances net results that are clearly aligned with the location of the instances server.

A Kagi dev even lied to me when I was looking into that as an alternative, saying they don’t use location, when it’s pretty easy to determine that they do.

I also don’t want a “good” algorithm. I also don’t want to see big corporate sites prioritized either. If some backwoods nobody has a site that’s more relevant, show it to me. I feel like pre-Google search engines were better, but that’s another vent for another day.

Now where did I put my false teeth and walker???

Thanks for losing the easiest US election in history because you couldn’t stop murdering and deporting brown kids

Gods, I wish she’d shut the fuck up

Me listening to “Business Man” by Tom Cardy for the 35th time in a row

I led with understanding, and I’m the one who mentioned teenagers in the comment I wrote with my own two hands

I understand wanting to do this as a parent, but I’m so thankful I grew up without cell phones. I would never track a teenager. I feel like teenagers need space to assert their own autonomy and form an identity apart from their parents. When I think of the best moments I had with friends, it’s almost always something that would have technically gone against my parents’ knowledge and wishes, even though my parents were very good to me overall.

A horror story in 3 words: My phone rang

I have chronic depression and OCD, but even on a cloudy day some rays of sun may shine

I like buying cheap stuff at a yard sale that doesn’t quite work and then taking it apart to see if I can make it function again.

My greatest success was an old school oscillating fan that I’ve used for years since I got it for 50 cents.

I would have voted for the before picture without a doubt

I sometimes think some of the psyops followed here from reddit because there ain’t no way every living adult human doesn’t immediately recognize this as anti-homeless design.

Yeah, this is the same as I found it :(

He should try it and see if it works

While this is true, I still can’t see it as being a viable form of resistance to tyranny in a case like that mentioned in the post. The government won’t accept an appeal to one’s second amendment rights as a valid defense when it’s their own agents committing the offense.

It only works when used against a minority or desperate poor person.

I was joking about having a stroke. I’ve never had a problem with your comments.

But I support you in doing whatever you think is right and what makes you comfortable <3

I like the spicy high temperature. If I don’t have several strokes while reading your comments, then what the hell am I doing?

I wish the second amendment could actually be used to protect us from tyranny as opposed to being a bunch of hogwash that’s exclusively used to prop up white supremacy.
