No ai ddg has been a decent general search engine, but if I can't find something I'll us marginalia, mojeek, alltheinternet, and even yandex (if I'm desperate). For your research: InstallGentoo Wiki has a fairly comprehensive list of search engines albeit not the most up to date; Seirdy has a blog post reviewing many search engines including some more niche ones; and The Search Engine Map illustrates which engines use what index.

To each their own I suppose. Personally I've only met women that liked points 2 through 4. Is worrying about her getting enough sleep or eating well considered dominant?
How old is stoßlüften? I know people that are always opening windows and telling their kids to go outside to "blow the stink off" and while they have german ancestry it would be from over a hundred years ago.
I'm pretty sure that lump is a tick, poor guy.
For anyone curious, that's a red mangalica; a pig breed from Hungary.
If anybody ever needs to melt hotglue without a glue gun try using a hot knife on the glue stick instead of using a direct flame since its less likely to burn or get the glue sooty; just a fair warning its still pretty finnicky.
To your second point you might find some explanations in film studies. The rise of viscerally violent zombie/horror movies of the 2000s has been widely discussed. Its typically attributed to: political instability (911/war on terror); fear of diseases (2002 SARS/1999 west nile virus); natural disasters (Huricane Katrina 2005/climate change); and economic crisis (dotcom bubble 2000/2007 economic recession). Essentially widespread fears and anxieties shape our media and I think (some) video games being darker, grittier, and more violent in that time period reflect this.
