  • Of course if one truly can’t afford it, paying for search can seem a luxury.

    However I would argue as a counterpoint; If there’s any online service one would consider paying for, it should be search. Search is most literally our “front page to the internet”. It’s our first stop in any quest for information. Even the founders of Google knew early on, that putting adds in search creates a perverse incentive against the best results, favoring instead worse results, so people perform more searches, creating more opportunities to show people adds.

    $5 a month isn’t much to know your query will give the results you want, instead of the results advertisers want.











  • Another “Trump said” that should be ignored.

    How would this even work? Tariffs function by holding the physical items in customs, until the tax is paid. But a licensing deal on a digital good, that can be transfered undetected over the internet, is impossible to teriff. You could tax it other ways, but 100% of what. The distribution license? The copyright?

    I guarantee he hasn’t thought about any of this, and as such this mindless utterance a can be safely ignored.



  • But 95% of the time he doesn’t take any action on what he says.
    Then he actually does take action on things he never said anything about.

    If you fight back against everything he says, you’ll exhaust yourself on so many things that don’t matter; You’ll completely miss many things that do. Which is in fact the strategy.

    For example his personal crypto tokens. He never said anything about making his own tokens to launder bribes through. Then suddenly surprised everyone announcing a new company and tokens. If anyone in the world buys $25M worth, they’ll get a private sit down dinner to discuss whatever they want. That blatant clear corruption is important. And bullshit this is just a distraction.



  • While your certainly sounds better with the word choice in the headline, it doesn’t reflect the actual facts of events.

    “Father of an 18 year old,” establishes the father as the subject, and the 18 year old as a specifying factor. So the the rest of the sentence states, it was the father who was “fatally shot by Ohio police” and “charged with hitting and killing deputy”. It’s still unclear if it was the father or the deputy who was “with car”.

    Where as my commas separate the facts accurately. Their strangeness comes from the extremely poor word choice and order of facts in the headline.

    “Father of,” establishes the father as the subject. “18 year old fatally shot by Ohio police,” is together a single specifier. “charged with hitting and killing deputy,” states what happened to the father. And finally “, with car” is what the father used, to hit and kill the deputy.
