This is getting ridiculous.

Also anyone else notice that google now censors most search results about drugs? They give you their fucking suicide hotline as the top result if you mention anything harder than weed. After that, it's all DEA and DOJ webpages, literal DARE shit, actual rehab advertisements, and massively SEO'd rehab related grifts. Good luck getting any Bluelight or Erowid pages to come up without actively searching for them nowadays.

Why do people use Google anymore? I use DDG on a daily basis (which still censors stuff like that to a lesser degree), and Yandex or Startpage if the search includes keywords that are any more controversial than running in a wheat field.

There's also an addon for DDG that lets you block useless websites, improving your search results over time. I'll reply again when I'm home cause I forget the name

It's actually a Tampermonkey script

Using the modifiers is really handy too. Like adding !w to go directly to the ~~wiki~~natopedia page or !g to see the google results. List here.

Really handy when you get used to them.
