@JoshJers That is my experience too. What was stunning about Google when it launched wasn't its speed but its ability to find the answer you needed. I stopped bookmarking sites in my browser as I was confident I could find websites if I needed them again.
The results now are so unhelpful I have gone back to bookmarking and avoid using Google.

One thing that I was trying to describe to the 15-year-old is that, when I was in college, google worked *so well* to find basically exactly what you were searching for that there was a site called "Let Me Google That For You" where you could snarkily send someone their question back and they'd see it animate the process of typing their question into google, then get the search results and bam, there's the answer to their question

I would *never* consider doing that now because almost never is the first hit the actual thing you want (and, honestly, it's getting rarer that it's top 10)

Anyway,.. girls

congratulations to disco elysium on being the most Leftist game to ever exist

it isn't just a perfect game, it also ended in flames due to bad operators and scammers and from those flames there's no less then 3 groups claiming to be the real successor to the original group

lmfao, I made so much money shorting the Tesla launch event. It's so much funnier to watch a bunch of shitty robots waddling around a room when you know you're about to make 5 figures overnight when the stock falls off a cliff at market open.
