  • I personally use searx, a metasearch engine which lets you chose among many sources and returns results from all the selected ones. If you go into the settings, pic the “engine” tab, you have tabs for each specific search mode, and under “image”, Pinterest is along the options, alongside many others.

    If you intend to make it your everyday search engine as I have, there’s one tiny caveat you should know: Like the Fediverse, it’s a service without a central server, where everyone can host an instance, the list of public instances is here. But since all of them are managed by individuals or small groups, they can fail or be overloaded, so you may have to switch to another one once in a while. Hosting your own instance is also an option, but I have yet to get around to learning that. Right now, the instance I use is search.be .

    This is getting seriously depressing, I knew who it was before I checked the username. You posted that you were going to quit drinking after the superbowl, right? I believe the superbowl is over.

    You have a serious problem, but not an unsurmountable one. Get help if you need, I think you do. You can do it!



  • Internet pictures with words are fucking dumb

    Memers in shambles right now. Webcomic artists, to shreds. Researchers who use diagrams with legends in their publications, pulverized. Journalists, atomised.

    A child draws a picture of his father and writes “I love you” for it is the man’s birthday. He posts the picture online.

    YOU FOOLS!

    Yells the mother, as she beats them both to death with a large brick.

    In the halls of the United Nations, an envoy reads the latest finding of his commission: “I’m afraid every character of every alphabet is ultimately a drawing.”

    “But that would mean…”

    “Yes, I’m afraid. Every text online counts as internet picture with words. Including the meeting reports that Stephanie posts on our site.” Sound of typing stops, as Stephanie looks up, aghast The discussion resumes, the tone rises and descends again, a consensus is reached. It is a hard choice, but a fair one. All the lettered people are to be buried alive.
