thanks it worked!
programmers literally do not know how teaching works. They just assumed everyone already knows everything and when someone doesn't they get extremely pissed very quickly for no discernable reason???
"i am very smart, and the existence of those dumb questions (that i definitely didn't have at one time) proves it"

A real problem in our community 😔
I have this problem every time I need to remember the difference between "converse" and "inverse", because it always gives me results about the Converse brand of shoes.

"Tiananmen square huirhawuueiwhgawlw"

There's yandex, baidu, wolframalpha too for a few others. If Google treats me like a piece of shit I pop my question into one of those 3, see how it likes that, I was told DuckDuckGo just uses Yahoo. We should make a searchengine alternative repository.
When I lived in the city I remember not being able to access some sites because my IP, which had a monopoly in the area, just would blanket block access to stuff, and this was more than thepiratebay and torrentfreak.

Then ofc I was an org pretty much every link was blocked, including marxists org and other common similar sites.
