  • 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






  • 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.

    No it’s not it’s specifically that companies can sell Americans the same food they sell in other countries but in those countries, the same food is made with much better ingredients.

    Look at the difference between the ingredient list in a Heinz ketchup bottle in the EU vs in America.
