I still use Google Scholar, but I have recently seen that it is also being enshitified. What’s the next best option?

This is misleading, to say the least. Poor South Africans tend to be black, but there are numerically more wealthy black people than white people. Income inequality is a huge problem, and there are residuals of Apartheid, but that ended a full generation ago. A lot has happened since.

21% of people would support cutting off their own toes. Poll numbers don’t get much lower in practice.

And an entire football league.

A backpacker is traveling through Ireland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Irish accent:

“You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No.”

He continued “Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No.”

“Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No.”

“But ya fuck one goat…”

He quoted “Jesus wept.” Hardly inappropriate.

This is one of the funniest things I have read all day.

Travel other places. The world is big.

ITT: people missing the joke.

I had to stop when I started flying a lot. Had so many knives confiscated…
