Alex Jones was around back then, but he was very fringe. His biggest thing was being a “9/11 Truther”. It’s funny, because so many people associated him with the Left back in the early 2000s because of that. I know a lot of normally Left-leaning people who got sucked into his nonsense back in the day.

Trump was around too, but he was very much just a joke. We kinda fucked that one up.

Whelp…

Thanks. It’s an homage to my banned Reddit account.

You don’t need the + to include things on Google.

Yeah I don’t know why I added that. Kinda dumb on my part.

And just for funsies—you can use related: as an operator to find sites that are similar to something.

I think this is what OP was really looking for. I did a Google search for “ukraine related:lemmy -site:reddit.com” and got this, which seems to be the kind of results OP is looking for:

Yeah I’m new to Lemmy and still getting used to the whole instance thing. Apparently you can use “related:” to include results that are similar. In the below example, I did a Google search for “ukraine related:lemmy -site:reddit.com”.

Add this at the end of your search query to omit results from Reddit:

-site:https://www.reddit.com/

To specifically include results from Lemmy, you can just add a plus sign and replace the site name:

+site:https://lemmy.world/

How long till a President ends a speech with “smash that like and subscribe for 10% off RAID: Shadow Legends”?

Dude. Reading package labels is the same for me. I end up having to take a picture with my phone, then zooming in.

I have my PC screen size zoomed in to 125%.

Getting old sucks.
