Jon: I will do everything in my power to help you.

Damian: Do not be so quick to offer, this may be the toughest assignment yet

Colin: It doesn't matter how dangerous or difficult this is. You need help. I'm in.

Damian: Thank you. What about you two? I know you're not really trained.

Matt: Oh im definitely going to help a friend! And don't worry about me. Terry taught me the good old one-two! I can definitely handle a fight.

Maps: I can also help! You'll need a master navigator in these parts.

Damian: Very well. Then we are all doing this. Prepare yourselves mentally. We're going in.

Danny smiling at the group of kids: Welcome to Danny's Edible Sculptures. How can I help you?

Damian: I wish to acquire an animal made of sugar glass.

Danny: Sure. What kind of animal would you like?

Damian, with only his eyes visible across the counter: I would like a cow.

Jon: I want a dog, a Great Dane if you can.

Colin: Can I please have a cat?

Matt: Can you make magical creatures? 'Cause I want a dragon-and-bat hybrid! I have a reference picture.

Maps: I'll have a turkey. A pretty one.

Danny: You got it. I'll start working on them right away.

Damian: I heard you only allow one per person. Is that correct?

Danny: Only one sculpture a day. Most people want multiple pieces, and it takes time to make each one, so I limit them.

Damian: I see.....Do you have the same rule for family members?

Danny: Ha! No for them I make many and often. They have special privileges you see.

Damian: I thought so. *snaps fingers* Team! Present profiles!

Jon/Colin/Matt/Maps holding up dating profiles of Dick, Jason, Cass, Tim, Steph, and Duke: Yes sir!

Danny: Umm?

Damian is standing on his tiptoes so his chin can go over the counter: These are my siblings. Pick one. I would be honored to have a candy maker with your skill level in my family.

Danny: Oh, that's cute and all, but I'm not really-

Maps: Before you make a decision, please listen to each of our presentations on our respective candidates. I think you'll find yourself quite intrigued

Matt: Plus, ever since one of them is rich, like buy-me-an-island- daddy, rich.

Danny: I-

Colin: They're kind and protective too. You'll never be afraid within thier arms!

Jon: They're the perfect match for any young bachelor such as yourself! Just pick any that grabs your attention, and you're on your way to marriage!

Damian: Join us

ahsoka yes!! obi-wan it's... complicated

I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.

also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo

Search Engines

Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy

DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)

WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to “compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.” A data search engine.

Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.

Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that won’t record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses “&” as a bang search.

Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that users’ identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines. 

Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted. 

Gibiru’s tagline is “Unfiltered private search” and that’s exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy. 

Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.

Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden.

https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results. 

https://www.mojeek.com/ 

https://wiby.me/ - It’s goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites. 

https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesn’t have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think it’s the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.

https://www.searchenginemap.com/ for more on how search engines relate to each other.

https://yep.com/ is a crawler

i call this "grace and rocky versus archive of our own"

bonus featuring adrian:

nasa employee: this guy hasn't interacted with humans in like 20/60 years should he really be giving interviews?

nasa employee 2: ehh just give him some media training and it should be fine

this is more of a silly one bc i just wanted to draw grace in a suit ^^

They send someone to stop the experiment but Grace refuses cause they’re so far in already and well that would just ruin the data.

Grace:

He definitely gets overexcited and passes out at one point (double gravity is rough)

They send someone to stop the experiment but Grace refuses cause they’re so far in already and well that would just ruin the data.

They send someone to stop the experiment but Grace refuses cause they’re so far in already and well that would just ruin the data.

So when the other astronauts arrive and are like "you're not experimenting on him are you?" The Eridians are like "????" "Of course we are??"

Grace:

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”

Grace goes swimming! Rocky is not thrilled.

Eridians cant "hold their breath" like humans do, their vents dont close completly so water can still get in, if they fall in water they drown and die. safe to say rocky is not a fan of when grace does it for fun xD

(i got the inspo for this from this fic: Enrichment by alatarmaia4, please check it out it is so funny)
