I avoid Google products as much as possible these days, especially anything launched within the last 2-3 years, because it will soon be abandoned and unsupported. Their search results are worse than they have ever been. The only Google app I actually like is Google Maps.

High school boys are trending conservative
It's a confusing time to be a man. Things are shifting in society. A lot of women are deciding that most men aren't offering them anything they want or need.
