How do you mean weird phrases? How long a phrase in quotes? Sounds like you're playing that game people used to play, trying to stump Google back when it was new and gaining popularity, except people at that time were aiming to get no results on purpose.

Someone suggested the Swedish search engine Marginalia in another discussion recently. It seems uniquely suited to restoring the exploratoration/discovery aspect that online searches once had. (I don't know how it will be for the particular application you need or for local services in general, though.)

Its provisions dictate that the president can sidestep any checks and balances on his power once he has abused his authority so many times that no one can keep track anymore.” Trump added that while his opponents may try to challenge his executive order in court, the loophole also states that by then he will have achieved his immediate political aims.

This must have been based on what he was doing in his first term, but damn. That's way too on -the-nose. It's like the current administration took notes from a piece that was supposed to be too absurd to take seriously. Probably not the first time with the Onion though. (And there was also the escalator thing with the Simpsons.)

Seems more like it's once every 2-4 years they shed the ol' exoskeleton. 😅

Even better, they seem more like chest-high overalls to me.

What an adventure. I imagine she's much happier now! 😅

Thanks for doing the service of saving that owl (and maybe her young too) from the likely consequences of that particularly avant-garde bird bath.

Ah, well we can all have that happen sometimes (when we're tired or sick or overwhelmed, etc.). Hopefully, if you haven't noticed recurring difficulties (in the same kinds of situations), there weren't any serious lasting effects. 👍🏾

Regardless, I hope life's going well for you now! :)

This was a well-placed reference by @TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee, but I'll push a bit harder: a link friendly to other instances somewhere in the post or up top could help instead of only using the link that's for our instance: !steamedhams@lemmy.ca :)

To shut our governments up, they're allowing a small amount in. Netanyahu and his allies in the Knesset are even apologizing to their citizens for it.

Netanyahu defends Gaza aid resumption, acknowledges step stemmed from allies’ pressure

PM stresses need to avoid bad optics of starvation; dozens of trucks said ready to enter; far-right parties divided on move, but neither threatens to exit in protest

(...)

Israel’s “greatest friends in the world,” he said, including senators but without mentioning specific nationalities, had said there was “one thing we cannot stand. We cannot accept images of hunger, mass hunger. We cannot stand that. We will not be able to support you.”

Netanyahu said the situation had been approaching a “red line” and a “dangerous point,” but it was not clear if he was referring to the crisis in Gaza or the potential loss of support from allies.

I don't know how old you are now, but do you find you've developed impairments or cognitive difficulties of any kind since then? (Reportedly, even pot is apparently supposed to have lasting effects if the brain is still developing during use.)

Given how invested they are in apologia, owners hearing that are liable to somehow take it to mean the thing's better at avoiding pedestrians because of said "targeting." I might start referring to it as "pedestrian execution mode" to drive the point home.
