Can I ask areal question? I’m not trying to be a dick or smart ass, I legit don’t get this. What is bullshit here? I read the article and it seems like a useful feature to me.

“this week, we will launch an opt-in experiment”

“those who have opted-in will have the option to access their preferred AI service from the Firefox sidebar”

Is this opt in only feature really terrible? Because as a user of ai, not switching tabs sounds like a nice new feature to me.

I will say this, while this does seem like a weird combo, The US has a knack for transforming simple, low-quality ingredients amazingly delicious dishes.

I’d try it prior to hating it. It’s pretty good, regardless of the of cheese.

This is one that I’m on the fence. To me it kinda feels like less advantaged people are finally playing the same game as rich folk. I don’t think it’s smart to go in debt over a vacation, unfortunately people do it all the time.

I mean, if you have no possible way of paying any of this back, might as well have fun before the house of cards collapses.

The govt is in massive debt. Tesla and many corporations are running a loss. Heck my city and school district is running this year with multi million dollar short falls, but somehow the city keeps spending money. The system is set up to run in debt. Everyone that has money, even billionaires, borrows money. I’m considered middle class, but am in massive debt because I bought a house and a car.

It kinda feels like regular people are finally playing the same game as rich people. Why use, and lose, your money, when you can lose other people money instead? What are creditors going to do? Take away the fun experience I had at Disneyland?

They can’t get me to pay back the debt if I have no job, or any future prospects for a job. Might as well have fun while they can, I guess.

I just feel for these folks when the rich, in the US, bribe enough politicians to brings back debtors prisons.

I don’t normally get to say this, but In my opinion gollum was the absolute worst part of the movies. Any scene with him, I simply skip. He just pulls me right out of the movie.

I have no desire to watch anything that focuses on this character.

The nfl can advertise alcohol, even celebrate it during half time, But god forbid one of the players enjoy some weed.
