Truth.

I just really wish someone would come out with a search engine that works like Google worked around 2004. There was a brief beautiful window of time where it seemed like no matter how obscure something was, if it existed on a publicly indexable website, and you knew the tricks for tweaking your search query, you could find it with Google. But I think I started noticing it going downhill not too long after they killed Google Video and acquired YouTube. Definitely after they also became a phone company.

It just seems crazy to me that we figured out how to do it over 20 years ago and then stopped almost immediately. And in all the time since then nobody has stepped up to fill the gap. Like, DuckDuckGo is better than Google now, but it’s only because Google became terrible, not because DDG got better.

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched it, but I think think they did Ally Sheedy’s character dirty. The other characters got some kind of deep revelation about life, the universe, and everything, and pretty much all Ally Sheedy got was a new shade of lipstick. Her whole story arc basically boiled down to: just change everything about yourself and maybe the star football player will pay attention to you, because that’s what really matters in life.
