It does not work from some countries where you will only get 403 Forbidden as a result.
Just some examples, it works in Argentina and Chile, but not in Peru or Ecuador.
If you travel and are in a country where it doesn't work, use a VPN to put you where it does.
It's not a perfect search engine, but sometimes will give an alternative list of results.

I switched to the Brave search engine.

It's weird -- more of a paradigm shift than it was in the beginning from Yahoo to Google -- making it more difficult to find some things, but it also tends to bring up some results I never would have found using Google, Bing, Yahoo or Duck Duck Go.

I did not realise they were using their own index, not just using one of the big search engines behind the scenes. That makes them a fifth real search engine. Brilliant. I'll be trying them out with future searches to see how well it works. Thanks.

What is Brave Search? | Brave

AI-powered answers; results you actually want, served from an independent index; and real privacy. On mobile, desktop, and anywhere the web takes you, Brave Search is the real alternative to Google.

Again interesting. They seem to be using Bing behind the scenes plus their own index. Incidentally, Brave seems to do the same but with multiple other search engines, not just Bing. This means they can find results for things they have not yet indexed themselves. That's a practical step for both to take as they get started. It's unclear how big their own indexes actually are. Best of both worlds though.

There are some smart geeks in the world.

Edit: Searching for normal stuff, Brave gives results entirely from its own index. Searching for an obscure scientific paper, Brave gets the majority of results from other search engines - and as far as I can see relies most heavily on Bing, as the results are most similar to the results of the same search in Bing and quite different to the same search in Google or Google Scholar.

With more more search engines should show up.

Successful creators spread knowledge around plus first success motivates people around.

There is also company named Algolia which offers search engine as Software as service.

They're also doing their own censorship. We may like them censoring images and content because at the moment it aligns with our personal religious/moral/philosophical orientations, but that still means centralized decision-making control over what we're searching for.

What Joe Biden's Executive Order On Digital Assets Really Means​

BY TYLER DURDEN
SUNDAY, MAR 13, 2022 - 06:45 PM

One River Asset Management's Head of Research, Marcel Kasumovich, wrote about the import of Biden’s Executive Order on the future of digital asset infrastructure and innovation. His note is reproduced below.

This week, your inbox is likely overflowing with two observations – President Biden’s Executive Order on digital assets and the positive price response to what was supposed to be old news. It was as though digital assets exhaled a sigh of relief with the release of the Order. And it went further than expected. The Order is the first-ever ‘whole-of-government approach,’ with broad goals of supporting digital asset innovation, guarding consumer protections, ensuring financial stability, and playing a leading role in international finance. It resets the tone around digital assets – agencies will work together to integrate new technologies into the mainstream. We see four key points of emphasis.

First, the US wants to be the global leader in digital asset innovation. [remainder at: https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/what-joe-bidens-executive-order-digital-assets-really-means]

And now for something completely different . . . perhaps . . .

Today I was contemplating that the still voice of Yah may have, albeit partially, channeled itself through the writing of John Lennon while on his first LSD trip, to caution us during a variety of troubling times; what if it's not just about knowing what it's like to be dead but knowing what it's like to live in a world in which Death starts seeming like it just might be right around this corner or that one?:

"She Said, She Said"

She said, "I know what it's like to be dead.
I know what it is to be sad."
And she's making me feel like I've never been born

I said, "Who put all those things in your head?
Things that make me feel that I'm mad.
And you're making me feel like I've never been born."

She said, "You don't understand what I said."
I said, "No, no, no, you're wrong.
When I was a boy everything was right,
Everything was right."

I said, "Even though you know what you know,
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."

She said, "You don't understand what I said."
I said, "No, no, no, you're wrong.
When I was a boy everything was right,
Everything was right."

I said, "Even though you know what you know,
I know that I'm ready to leave

She said, "I know what it's like to be dead.
I know what it is to be sad.
I know what it's like to be dead..."

It's the shrooms talking right? 😉

Jk actually I think I heard an Alistair Begg sermon where he was quoting Lennon, possibly even the same quote.

Actually, I was just moving, within a Random Comments 'conversation,' from dark politics to dark interpersonal while thinking about the manner in which men and women have the potential to negate the existence of each other.

Sorry I haven't had a lot of time to be on here lately. We're helping another family with serious drama and it's a lot of work.

This too will pass and things will get back to normal! :)

The other family can definitely use prayer. It's a mom and three teenagers. The father is out of the picture now and for good reason.

It is so sad when Dad's fail to lead and protect. Important for each soul to guard their own heart, because out of it come the issues of life.

Glyphosate Discovered in Wide Range of Essential Foods in Massive Testing Project​

Posted on Mar 16 2022 - 11:46am by Sustainable Pulse

The results of the most comprehensive glyphosate testing of food products ever conducted in the U.S. were released by The Detox Project on last week, in a detailed report that shows the true levels of weedkiller contamination in essential foods sold by some of the top grocery stores in the country.

The world’s most used weedkiller, glyphosate, was discovered in a wide range of essential food products including bread, pulses and grains from top grocery stores such as Hy-Vee, Whole Foods Market, Amazon, Walmart and Target.

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup, is a probable human carcinogen according to WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and has led to the manufacturers of Roundup, Bayer/Monsanto, being forced to pay over $10 Billion in damages to gardeners, groundskeepers and farmers who are suffering with blood cancer (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma).

Of the products that were tested, a range of whole wheat breads contained the highest levels, alongside chickpeas and Quaker Oats. The worst offending products were found in Hy-Vee, Whole Foods Market [remainder at: https://sustainablepulse.com/2022/0...-in-new-massive-testing-project/#.YjScyS0RpQK]

Wait a second..doesn't Whole Foods sell only supposed "organic" foods? And this doesn't surprise me in the slightest, if a big corporation can take an easy way out and save money, even an unethical one, they'll take it.
 

Corporate-State Fascism Is Already Here​

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Not Benito Mussolini, but still true.

Corporations have been controlling governments across the west to varying degrees since there were governments to control. Today this happens with back room deal making, revolving doors of executives shuffling between board rooms and government agencies charged with that industry’s oversight and then back to the board room. It happens through funding research with corporate grants and state subsidies in what is now called ‘regulatory capture’.

We do not call ‘regulatory capture’ [remainder at: https://thegoodcitizen.substack.com/p/corporate-state-fascism-is-already]
 
I don’t know how to post it here, but the Kyle Rittenhouse meme at the gas station is hilarious.
 
One of those times when Kevin Samuels doesn't realize why he's beating his head against the wall. Usually he spots the feminists with college degrees and nails them. This time, though, all the woman he's interviewing is doing is repeatedly asserting that the puke she swallowed in her Social Work program is the only possible truth available to the human race. The Social Work higher ed program was originally created and implemented by the American Socialist Party and is an integral part of Progressivism. It is very much a purposeful effort to propagandize young minds into thinking that up is down and down is up when it comes to economics, gender relationships and intimacy.
