Maybe Marginalia could work for you? I’ve tried using it, but it’s a lot more focused on academic stuff (rather than figuring out song lyrics or which episode some TV quote came from). It’s an “old school” search engine, though, so a bit less convenient than google, duckduckgo, etc. if you weren’t around in 90s/early 00s for that.

When google shoves their ai to the top of search results, its hard not to read it. I’ve been spoiled by ublock and I am no longer used to ignoring the first few things that come up.

I haven’t blocked anyone here, but on Tumblr I started unfollowing folks who posted about doom and gloom all the time. That site’s more conducive to memes and TV show discussions than it is discussion about news/politics, and I don’t like scrolling through a bunch of superhero memes and then getting hit with a post about the latest atrocity in the world. That stuffs important, but it’s not healthy to fixate on it all the time.

It’s important to curate what you’re doing so that you dont fall into a doomscrolling trap or get ragebaited into arguments that go nowhere.

Timing is a fools game for sure. Bubble could pop next month, next year, or even later.

If you’re old, make sure you have a good percent in bonds. If you’re young, make sure you have 6-12 months saved in case of layoffs and keep saving - market will look completely different in 20-30 years anyways so it’s not worth worrying about.
