It got bad several years ago, which is when I permanently jumped ship to DDG. It’s nowhere near as good as Google used to be, but on the other hand, it’s also nowhere near as bad as Google is now.

I live in a “first past the post” country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry too much about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now.

There was a time in my life when I was wary of wearing out certain songs, but now I just play them to death if that’s what I’m in the mood for. Life’s too short to deny yourself the pleasure of hearing a song that you really want to listen to…and if you DO get tired of your current earworm, so much? There’s so much great music out there that it shouldn’t be long before you discover something new that you can immerse yourself in.

Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for.

Ah, the joys of capitalism, where it’s expensive to be poor.
