Great advice ! And just to add, a a searx user, if bing is among your engines, you can do the same while adding '!bi' to the query (which specifies to only look for results from bing) and you should get the same result, I just tested it ! [EDIT : I kept testing and it seems like it doesn't work on all searx instances, but I haven't really figured out why. searx.mha.fi is one of those where it works. ]

You're just making me more convinced that "women" were invented by furniture companies to sell more bedframes.

Le thème ne me choque pas personnellement, il y avait déjà eu une saison appellée "les découvreurs" qui parlait des inventions, ça semble être un concept similaire mais qui se concentre moins sur des grosses avancées évidentes et plus sur des petites inventions qui influencent subtilement le quotidien. Le changement de style graphique m'étonne un peu plus, mais c'est normal vu le temps qui a passé.

I strongly agree! They have such delicate grey pattern, plus these iridescent feathers, and these orange eyes... I've been trying to tell people that and I was appalled to see they didn't seem to undertsand what I was saying. In one specific instance, I was pointing at the pigelon and saying "Look, isn't it beautiful? See these patterns? See this rainvow on its collar?" and the guy just said "I don't know, it's just a pigeon" . I'm starting to think many people don't actually look at pigeons. They don't see their shape their feathers or their colors. They quickly identify it as a pigeon, and immediately attach to them all the ideas they've been learning to attach to them : Dirty, invasive, pests... It's like their not seeing an image, just a whiteboard with a bunch of words, attached to more words. Like these overly labelled comics, but only the labels. They look at things and identity them, but don't see them.

Probably more than thay since this takes into account only first-language speakers!

I wouldn't say the current regime is really left wing, unlike the USSR. Yeltsin really leaned into the "free market" stuff (with disastrous consequences), and while Putin may have added more elements of planning and protectionism compared to that, he isn't and doesn't claim to be any kind of socialist.

I haven't posted or commented on Reddit since over a month, but I haven't deleted my account yet. I have consulted Reddit a few times since, notably when it showed up in the results for a question I was looking up, or to see the posts from the r/Askhistorians weekly roundup (of which I follow the RSS feed). While the way I've been using Reddit lately doesn't require an account, I'm unsure of whether I intend to delete mine; partly because if for whatever reason, I needed to post a question somewherebit will get a big audience, that's the biggest I can currently get, and partly because I don't want all my great posts and comments of the past to be lost to history...

Do I need to start at the first episode and catch up on all of it to enjoy it, or is it something I can pick up at any moment?
