Then try Bing. It’s Microsoft, but at least it features very patriotic pictures on patriotic holidays—unlike Google.
That’s been my experience as well. I get excellent results with Duckduckgo.
A search of the Doodles archive shows they last mentioned Easter in 2000. The Os were eggs.
Next time you post an article or reply to any thread, I’m going to tell you to stop getting worked up about it.
I rarely get worked up about anything on Internet forums.
And I certainly do not get worked up about the same thing every time there is a holiday that is not recognized by an internet company. That seems like a waste of energy.
Btw, if Duckduckgo is so bad, why is it the favorite search engine on The_Donald? Every other poster there either writes code for a living, or is at the university, studying to write code. Outside of 4chan, you’d be hard pressed to find a more tech savvy group of that size. [The real enrollment of The_Donald is 6,000,000; reddit’s sales and marketing division let that info slip recently.]
If I had to choose which assessment to take, yours or The_Donald’s, I’m going with the coder-heavy community at the latter every time.
You and me both.
I have an lg slide phone with texting and voice and keyboard from Verizon under a hundred new and 30 per month on the month to month plan. It fits the bill. And I don’t become a corporate mine.
We surely did. Sounds look me you did, too. Even though we have been empty nesters for many years, this is the first year in many years the kids all had easter with their own families so it was just Mrs. Eagle and myself and our 3 dogs but we enjoyed it just the same.
The sins of pride and of luxuria conjoined, which together describe California.
I tried to return the brick w/in the 14 days and they gave me a hassle and Friday was the drop-dead day. I guess I could raise a ruckus. I will call today. I may end up keeping the brick for travel (world device) and do the Tracfone route for everyday.
DDG is the default search engine on my Linux Mint machine. It works OK on most searches for common questions but not so well for obscure topics. I understand the philosophical and political issues with Google but I don’t have all day to not find what I want.
I had stopped using Google before I started Duckduckgo, so I can’t compare the two. I can tell you this, however. My first search engine after Google was Bing. On occasion, when I couldn’t find something with Bing, I’d try Google. Not once—not a single time—did Google outperform Bing.
I’ve had zero problems with Duckduckgo. If I ever do, I’ll use Bing.
#NeverGoogle
If a people cannot choose folly, it cannot be said to have chosen wisdom.
God is love. Love has a dangerous choice implicit in it.
I think we whine way too much and evangelize (in every aspect, not just the stereotypical street corner preacher) way too little. If one truly becomes gospel minded, God will open all manner of doors that sometimes look unusual. I evangelized a Hindu boss that way. Devil didn’t like it, but about that I prayed, not whined. Part of being a small-s son of God is inheriting His fight in His manner.
This is almost becoming a snobbery contest.
I’d like to write some reality.
Not even Google can ignore the evangelical interest level on its facilities, or the data about what those people also are interested in. If Google ever looked honestly, that would disabuse them of the idea that evangelical interest is always associated with hatred and prim self-righteousness.
Let yourself be seen in the marketplace, doing whatever legitimate things you can as the Lord desires. Christian ghettos cripple the gospel, rather than help it. We are called upon to be bait, not poison.
Which might have gotten them in the crossfire between secularists who hate Easter and zealous (if misguided) Christians who gave them hell about showing eggs and not something more pertinent like a cross and an empty tomb.
In a way, I pity Google. Easter really IS radioactive. There’s more Google can safely do to edge up on Christmas, because of the cultural reflections of it. Who decorates their house for Easter? Maybe every Christian who can would do well to do so.
Google doesn’t have the power to do the godly thing, is the bottom line. How should Christians approach this? Well, how would they approach a third world city that stank because it had no utilities? Would they have compassion and wish such benefits somehow upon the destitute place? In fact there is a class of Christians who will purpose to do so. They are called missionaries.
I’ve seen the secular world, and once one gets past the offense of its pride, it’s visibly sad.
Who will be a missionary to Google?
Conservatives believe in the free market. If there is one service that spits on us, or on America, another service that is neutral, and a third that honors America profoundly, I need no condescending lectures to help me make my choice.
You participate in the free market as you see fit, and I will do likewise.
Certainly, and we shall reap our according rewards.
You might want to watch out for spitting on our Lord and Savior.
And don’t forget that Jesus condescended to you in your sin. You might take note to what He wants. I’m sorry if that is a humbling message for you to get. I exit this particular discussion now, but it’s now between God and conscience. However I never saw a “boycott your neighbor” command in the bible. Google is not entire without clue, if it only wants to see it. I guess it is good in a way for the snoot Christians to leave it. That leaves Google seeing the mission Christians.
‘You might want to watch out for spitting on our Lord and Savior.’
I don’t use Google, and you find something in that akin to spitting on Jesus???
Where in the Bible are we commanded to use a service that spits on our country while honoring the demon-religion, Islam? Chapter and verse, pkease.
“You might want to watch out for spitting on our Lord and Savior.”
I assume that you are joking.
We’re just talking about using Google here,not mass murder.
