Do whatever the hell you want at home, but
- I'm not visiting your house.
- I'm not eating anything you cook.
- I'm cutting off anyone from my personal life who does this beyond their own walls.
DuckDuckGo.
Like others have said, there's really no getting around that Google has the best search engine from a functional standpoint. So I use DuckDuckGo for my personal reasons, but if I'm dissatisfied with the results, I will open up a "private" browser and do a Google search.
Edit: I'll add that this doesn't happen very often. The last time I had to do this was maybe a month and some change ago.
I dreamt of Titanfall the night before it was announced.
More precisely, I dreamt of Halo, but you piloted humanoid mech suits.
Did I just dream of slightly altered Halo 4? NO. DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME.
Significantly less than I did right after the Great Migration.
What's your takeaway from this lizard?
Yeah, I was alright with it in the 60s.
For people still in their working days, I'd agree with you. Every 30 year old really should know how to use a computer at an at least basic level.
My grandparents, however, have had a life full of working for a world that wanted to give them as little as possible. My grandmother wants to relax, and my grandfather wants to keep busy how he wants to work. I think they've earned however they want to live, whether that's with or without learning how to use a computer well. It's really not harming anyone.
I will give my grandma credit, though. She's not resistant to learning how to use her phone—she just doesn't need all of it, and she's not gonna fully understand that which she doesn't need. My grandfather is pretty resistant, though. That's just how he is. The phone is the least of our worries.
To put it plainly, I couldn't muster a single shit if Facebook ceased to exist.
Actually, I'd celebrate. The web can survive without being commercialized. It'd look much different, for sure. That's the point.
Edit: I'm not saying this isn't a super idealized fantasy that will never happen. I'm just saying I'd partake in that fantasy.
Define "they," and you might answer your own concerns.
"Mental illness creates great art."
Haven't picked back up consistently learning Japanese in like 8 years, but it's a joy to feel the progress of learning such a vastly different language. I know enough Spanish that it'd be a waste to spend this gift on it.
I guess the most tactical option for me that's still interesting would be Arabic, because while I love the idea of knowing it, I don't think I'll ever give myself the time to learn it.
In real life, it would go:
