Uh, Kagi, Mojeek, DDG, Ecosia, searx (self-hosted or non). That’s just off the top of my head


Or your checker was wrong because it’s also ‘AI’
I make sure to age my replies. If someone’s not dying, give that shit a full 24 hours.
So yeah, you’re a motherfucking asshole.
Seems that way, doesn’t it? They want me to send my parents to a care home that provides way way shittier care than we can (I’ve seen it firsthand). Oh and they steal the inheritance. Oh, and I’m the loser for finding a living situation that serves everyone in it
I suppose I’d have to disagree with that last statement, as someone who lives in a functioning multi-generational household lol. It’s not going to work for everyone every time, depending on circumstances, but having 3 generations in the house pooling resources is how most of the world does it.
It certainly helps to have a separate space/entrance for privacy and such, but now that we’re settled in, it’s far better than it was when we were going it alone. We have everything covered between the 3 adults, and then some: I work, cover utilities, build stuff, cook repair and maintain everything that needs repair and maintenance. The wife stays at home with our toddler. Her mom covers the mortgage and occasionally babysits when we need it. The occasional family friend who needs a place to crash for a while contributes their bit. We make adjustments here and there to keep everyone happy and maintain fairness. Everyone wins in this arrangement, and there’s no shame.
Your example is kind of an extreme trope IMO, I’ve only seen true “failure to launch” scenarios in media. I’m sure they exist somewhere, but it’s not too big an issue to be moralizing about.
There are plenty of fun substances with a fraction of the risk presented by alcohol
That’s typically an economic issue, not a personhood issue. Not that it’s a bad thing to share housing between generations, it should be normalized as it was not long ago.
For us we have three generations under one roof because it works. Everyone pitches in, and having a grandparent around for occasional childcare is a godsend. Eventually we will be the carers as they get into advanced age. There was a period of learning to let go of individual cultural hangups, but we all got over it in our own time.
The idea of every couple having their own individual single-family home, kicking kids out the moment they turn 18, and letting grandma either fend for herself or go into a nursing home (which will swallow any inheritance that exists) is not just cruel, it’s completely unsustainable.

That’s all it will ever be able to do!


There’s a large number of people talking glp-1s (ozempic et. al) and they actually are looking for smaller portion sizes, which is driving a huge trend in grocery now of boxing up larger quantities of smaller items.
Of course the industry has used this to their advantage. Instead of just offering a 4-pack of frozen dairy treats at 2 oz each, they can offer an 8-pack at .8 oz each (less total product) and sell it alongside that one for even more, and they actually will sell more of the 8-pack.
