    are those lenses slightly red? is he going to fight big-guy Robert moses, the Russian mob, and drug smuggling ninjas?

    I’m not making fun of him. I just want to know if I should be watching.

      I think he looks like an extra from the matrix who looked too nice to make the final cut. But I know he is badass, and that’s the point :)

      You can use MetaGer, Ecosia, Startpage, Mojeek, Qwant, specific page searches… or all of these. if you want a deeper research. After more than a quarter of century I’ve anyway half the internet in my bookmarks and only use the websearch in few occasions, or for security checks of unknown URLs.

      Thought you were making a statement about ICE going after him because they’re a bunch of trigger happy mouthbreathers, but it looks like you just spam that everywhere.

          no one is claiming that.

          “monopolies” aren’t only about the number of products in a market. they’re also about ~market share~ of a single company and ~anti-competitive business practices~.

            That isn’t what a monopoly is, ‘mono’ is a hint.

              They are far and away the leader. Of course I know there are other engines, you fool, and other browsers and other ad companies, but to claim they aren’t a monopoly? I guess you believe Amazon isn’t either because like other places have delivery! Come on….
