Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

The writing on the Adventures of Merlin astounds me constantly. Like. A goblin possesses Gaius and licks gold. Fart jokes are treated as relevant comedy. We’re supposed to believe that no one sees Merlin do magic in broad daylight, everyday, when we literally see his eyes flash and a sound effect plays. But then.

But then Uther dies on Arthur’s birthday.

You might not get it yet. You might not know why that’s insane. I’ll tell you. The significance of that event is that Igraine died in childbirth. Arthur’s birthday is already a reminder of his dead mother. A woman who died for his birth. And now his father dies, signifying Arthur’s ascent to King.

A rebirth. Once again forged in the blood of his kin, Arthur Pendragon is borne of death.

A day that has forever been bloodied is now drowning in red, and it has been and will always be treated as a celebration.

What were they on???? That they could waffle between some of the cringiest takes I’ve ever seen, and some of the most poignant symbols in modern storytelling. I simply don’t understand.

If anyone cares, this is my reading list from 2024

You don't have to scroll through it the numbers at the bottom are all that's important

When I showed my librarian this she was really curious where I found all my reading material so I just kindof stammered and said something about creative writing online

clicking a pen over and over again is actually fun as fuck its a shame it makes everyone in a 30 foot radius want to kill me with a rock

It is exactly 2 weeks into 2024, and I have read 504,093 words of fanfiction (yes, I counted) (google says that's like 2,000 pages) - and one graphic novel. I feel like if I could muster the kind of attention and dedication with which I read fanfics and use it to read books with actual applicatory knowledge, I would be like a billionaire genius, but alas, my attentions are not so easily swayed. 😔

So fucking tired of people asking me for shit then proceeding to not even have the courtesy of using my proper name

Honestly, a scenario I think about sometimes is just like a big-time celebrity - randomly on some talk show or smn talking about silly drama from some Internet group they were apart of like 10, 15 years ago. Like Tom Holland comes out about his friend group from neopets, or Iain Armitage in a few years puts his beef with the kids he met on his online minecraft server on blast. (They didn't know these people were on tv) I don't keep up with pop culture, so I might not notice anyway, just think it'd be funny.

When I first saw one, I figured it had been mistyped and was actually meant to be the word "gift," so I feel like I should really just stick with that at this point

Let's settle this.... Once and for all!

Reblog to start a riot.

[roflwaffl]

Looking for that one post I saw months ago and trying to remember if I even saved it or not because I just thought of the perfect joke to make reblogging it and it's like looking for a multicolour needle in a really long haystack where then every few feet you come across a little nugget that's coloured somewhere between gold and shit but either way you end up getting extremely sidetracked and then still didn't find it
