#all Of This Has Happened Before

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

I'm a little late but I've been thinking about the Ides of March and how it could be commemorated IRL, in a "remember that politicians are just humans" way. I was wondering if anyone had similar ideas.

Personally, I'd commemorate with a sort of game. You gather a bunch of people and one of them, typically one with the most authority, is elected as Caesar. You can have props like the laurel crown, or just a random crown and staff or something.

Caesar then gets to give each other player a dare to do, and if the players can't or refuse to do it, they get a slap or a spank. But then, once everyone was dared, Caesar receives a dare from each other player.

Tally up how many times Caesar refused or failed a dare, then add the number of times someone else did and got slapped. That's how many times Caesar gets slapped or spanked by the players.

Of course, this is supposed to be in good fun so there should be no dangerous dares and no slapping too hard. Instead of slapping you could also bonk the person with something like a foam noodle or a cardboard tube, or stab them with one of those prop knives that retract into the blade.

I guess one could also make a kinky version, I won't judge.

Anyway, that's how I would celebrate the Ides of March! I was wondering if anyone else had ideas!

There's a lot more. "Oh damn, oh damn oh damn oh damn," in the whole thing, but yes.

The doctor recognizing the master is like Dr. doofenshmirtz recognizing Perry the platypus. Idk how to explain it but it’s the same deal. Y’all know what I mean.

A Bob be a crabbe wiþ raised claws and it comes in manye colours, though there be also a srympe or, be it tempyrate, a manne.

this image is so endearing to me,, like,,

I'm going to do some Transformers redesigns, and I wanted to know which autobots and decepticons are popular across different continuities.

I'm already locked in on Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream.

I'm open to alt mode suggestions for Megatron (currently thinking an alien gunship) and any suggested characters who have inconsistent alt modes.

Please respond with a comment, I look forwards to knowing what you guys have to say!

It's so nice to see him like this, just a little guy.

It'd be a shame if he wasn't pure enough.

You did a great job.

Baby from somewhere between Innocence and Purity🤲

i love the idea that the doctor is just an eldritch abomination dressed in a vaguely humanoid suit. like this is a creature that in so many ways is supremely, deeply, Wrong, but everyone sees them as a friend, as something to be trusted, because that's the perception they want to give to the universe
