If you’re on Firefox, you could also set a keyword. I haven’t used one in a while but IIRC you would then just type !u search terms (replacing the u with whatever you configured).

2·3 days agoI get all the others, but the 4 is messing with my head.
A long time ago, I was trying to figure out why I had so much trouble making friends. I talked to the few connections I had and did some online searches. Paraphrasing, I found an analysis similar to the following:
Friendship is like two people holding containers of water. In this metaphor, one person is holding a drinking glass, one is holding a bucket. If the person with the drinking glass offers ever bit of water they have, the person with the bucket feels it’s inadequate. If the person with the bucket offers all of their water, the other person feels overwhelmed.
When I read that, I was quite a bit younger and found it fairly profound. I shared it publicly in several places. Every person who saw it - including those I considered to be the metaphorical drinking glass people - declared themselves the bucket person. I did the same of myself so, whether I was right or wrong, I can’t blame any of those people.
In conclusion, I try to be a good person and I think I largely succeed, but experience has taught me that I shouldn’t trust people’s judgment of themselves. I’d like to think I’m an exception, but I’m no more exempt from this than anyone else I’ve observed, just - predictably - less able to see it in myself.

2·4 days agoOne of the first times I went there, I had recently started experimenting (to a very mild degree) with fashion. In this case, I was trying out wearing sort of a chain necklace. Unfortunately, while I was swimming, it broke and fell off, so I figured it to be lost forever.
The next year, I came back to swim in the same spot, having completely forgotten the necklace, but was very pleased to discover it had gotten lodged under a rock and thus not traveled far at all from where I originally lost it.

2·4 days agoReader mode is amazing. I don’t recall whether I’ve ever used it for bypassing paywalls, but I used to read Rock, Paper, Shotgun a lot and, when they started getting disgustingly cluttered, reader mode made it a lot easier.
It also helps with navigating tech blogs when troubleshooting something and, on the rare occasion when I search for recipes, finding the only part that matters.
Back when I was dating, my policy was to let any prospective love interest know the worst thing I know about myself as soon as expedient, but usually before courting. It worked, in that I got ghosted a lot of times, but usually at least promptly.

I’m not sure you’re referencing an xkcd comic, but it seems likely.
