If you’re talking about me here, I understood why you were suggesting it. But to me, that’s not the problem of c/politics in this case. They wouldn’t want to rename, if it was possible, because “AmErIcA fIrSt”.

I also know how to use keywords, etc. And maybe I went a bit overboard when I said Brave Search sucks. It doesn’t suck, but with Kagi, I don’t feel like a product any more and the search results make sense again, like with Google a couple years ago. Most free search engines just don’t work that good any more.

If you would’ve told me 2 years ago that I’ll be paying for a search engine in the future… Well, I would’ve thought that you’re crazy. But here I am now.

Look at https://kagi.com/faq .

They basically query other search engines and APIs in a privatized manner and they use their own indexes as well. I used Google, Ecosia, StartPage, DDG, a self-hosted SearXNG instance and then Brave. I liked DDG and I kinda liked Brave Search, as well. But in comparison to Kagi, they’re all not that good in my opinion.

The image search of Kagi is especially what blows me away. It just shows relevant results for my queries and I’m satisfied.

I used it before and unfortunately, it sucks in comparison to Kagi.

That’s why I use Kagi. It’s a paid search engine and the results are actually really good.

As a European, I don’t get what this means.

Why does this butthole get so much attention again and again? Jeez.

We eat tofu every now and then and like it a lot and I did already try out some meat “substitutes” and some of them are actually pretty good, but not cost-effective. I’m not saying I have to look at every cent I spend, but things have gotten harder in recent years, not gonna lie.

I don’t need or want to replicate meat everywhere. I’m totally fine with non-meat dishes, but my complaint is that many of them don’t taste as good as people (especially vegans) claim, even in restaurants. It’s been quite disappointing multiple times to try that “really, really delicious curry”, that in the end didn’t really taste that great and it’s been a recurring thing for me / us when trying to eat more plant-based foods. This is also true with cauliflower, for instance. I like it in “traditional” meals as side-dish, but no, to me, batter frying cauliflower doesn’t make it good.

Mushrooms are a staple in our cooking, because I really like my umami flavor (I also use MSG a lot), but unfortunately, my daughter doesn’t like any type of mushroom. I guess, it’s the texture. Tried several different things and she always puts them away.

Anyway, thank you for your comment. Beyond meat has been on our “try out list” for quite some time.

Thank you very much for the hint, I checked out the red lentil curry video and it does look quite delicious. Chicken curry is actually my favorite food and I tried green, brown and red lentil curry before, but didn’t quite like them, even though I’m half asian, lol. I’ll try her recipe, though.

I personally love coconut milk.

Probably not hard. But that doesn’t solve the problem that a generic term is used for something US only on a platform that isn’t US first.
