Didn't they just sign a deal with a European privacy company?

Yeah the tree planting and the fact that they seem very open about their funding and where it goes drew me in. I Google random shit all the time so I figure might as well do good for it rather than using Google search and all the crap AI that comes with it that uses absurd amounts of energy and fuel.

I've been using ecosia for the past 3 or 4 months now and it works really well, especially if you're googling for information. Feels like going back to the old internet, where you actually get some real sources and websites you don't see around anymore. If I'm searching for something scientific I can actually get the whole study rather than some awful summaries of the study that leave out important parts.

On the other hand if I'm looking for restaurants or placss to eat or stuff like that Google is still a better source because you can link to the map easily and the functionality is just a bit better still.

It's almost like a bunch of colonizing powers came in and stole all their money and material wealth and usurped their country's political system and beggared all the people and then they didn't have the money time or motivation to protect the artifacts while they were all starving or being bombed

We were all 19 or so and he was an idiot idk lol

I didn't really hang out with him or know him before or after that night

Was back when I was 19 or 20, was hanging out with my buddies from home over the summer while on break

We were at a McDonald's at 1:30 or 2 am. Kid around our age comes screeching into the McDonald's parking lot, going over curbs and everything, sparks flying from two wheels. He had punctured both his front tires and was riding on rims. Turns out one of my friends knew him - he takes a look, looks at the guy, goes "yo man, you probably don't wanna drive on those"

Kid goes "yeah well I really want McDonald's I'm gonna go home after"

My friend goes "you live about 15 min away, you really shouldn't drive."

He gets his shit and starts driving, sparks still going off. Were a little concerned so we follow him. 200 feet later he gets pulled over, so we pull over behind the cop. The cop looks at us and goes "do you guys know this idiot?"

My buddy's like yeah...

Cop says you should get him in your car.

Kid refuses. Drives 8 miles home in rims. Smoke everywhere, most awful sound you've ever heard. We follow him home, I find out he's dumb rich.

We go into his guest house, which was bigger than all of our actual houses, smoke one, then leave.

Because most people don't actually know that.

Most people have no idea where their laptops are coming from or what makes them run.

If you pay attention and you know about computers you would have heard something, but I guarantee you the average person has heard almost nothing about Intel's issues

Pride and not wanting to sound like a dummy basically

Having worked in IT about 12 to 15 years ago I can honestly say I just stopped believing people when they told me they did things or checked things because 99% of the time it was just a flat out lie.

And taking them at their word meant wasting my own time because usually it was just a quick fix that I suggested in the first place.

It quickly, quickly taught me that 99% of people are fucking idiots, and that even the smart ones who actually knew what they were doing with a computer could be idiots too.

Wait what when did Kendrick become a deadbeat dad?

I thought this was just me but I swear this is so fucking annoying

Completely unnecessary filler space
