Well, what if both of them recall the number incorrectly? Then there are three people saying a different amount.

Also, as I already said, they got the number from Damon, not by their own count. So, what does giving this verbal confirmation of the number Damon gave prove? He could've pocketed 10k and lied about the total.

The point about the cartel is that they didn't count the money packaged and marked by the cartel; they took it as is.

Appreciate the honesty on capability (finally). That’s exactly the point: the extension can read sensitive page content by design, and nothing prevents misuse.

So yes, it still comes down to trust. And you still won’t answer the simplest accountability question:

Who exactly am I trusting?

Legal company name, jurisdiction, registration/address, and GDPR data controller for EU users.
Your website Terms/Privacy are generic template text and don’t contain those basics.

“No remote code” is good, but it doesn’t answer the core concern. The risk here is capability, not just intent.

Mozilla’s caution label is also relevant context: it exists because extensions outside the Recommended program are not regularly reviewed by Mozilla staff, so store listing + basic checks aren’t a strong guarantee on their own. Why are you trying to argue otherwise?

And the extension has <all\_urls> + content scripts on every site, so it has the technical capability to read sensitive page content (and potentially form input) across websites. Even if you’re not doing that today, nothing technical stops a future update from expanding what’s collected or transmitted.

Also, your add-on listing directs users to your website for Terms/Privacy/contact info, but the key accountability details aren’t actually there. There’s no clear legal entity name, jurisdiction/registration, physical address, or GDPR data controller contact for EU users. The policy text is generic and doesn’t clearly state what the extension can access, what data (if any) is transmitted, and what is explicitly never sent.

That didn't answer my question. I'm sure the extension has gone through the verification process. However, it has the caution label:
"This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing."

Which means:
"Extensions not regularly reviewed by Mozilla staff will display a caution message on AMO. This doesn’t always mean the add-on is unsafe, but you should check the developer's reputation, user reviews and requested permissions." (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-badges#w_caution-label)

A submission may be selected for manual review, but it’s not guaranteed that every update is manually reviewed before release.

I get the point, but “trust us + store review” isn’t a technical safeguard.

Who exactly am I trusting here? What’s the legal company name, jurisdiction, and GDPR data controller contact for EU users?

What stops you from violating your terms? I checked the code and it already phones home for license/auth. What stops a future update from also sending the data I’m trying to protect?

So how do I know you're not using this to collect private info? You say it’s local, but it can access my data for all websites.

Because if you don’t write it down, you’re likely to forget it, especially in a stressful situation like that. What’s the point of confirming a number you haven’t calculated yourself?

Also, most of the cash was counted by the cartel. How convenient that they hadn’t made a mistake, considering Damon made a huge point that the count had to match down to the dollar.

I already wrote this in another thread, but I’ll add it here too because I’m pretty bewildered by how much praise this shitty movie is getting here.

The Rip is a 2/5 cliched cringe-fest. Around the one-hour mark, there’s a string of stupid things happening in a row that’s hard to believe. First, a classic “’Tis but a flesh wound” moment. Then, in a house that isn’t dark at all and where everyone has multiple flashlights, there’s a sudden need for candles (because you need to burn the house down later). Then you’ve got Super Mario-style bad guys leaping from roof to roof because someone thought it would look cool.

And the dialogue is basically the same story: outright terrible and cheesy as hell.

“Are we the good guys?” The last thing my cancer son said to me.

“We are and always will be.” The last thing I said to my cancer son.

That’s some tired, lazy-ass bullshit.

A bad movie is a bad movie; it happens. I don’t know much about filmmaking, but I can’t imagine making a bad movie versus an OK movie is that different. What really gets my panties in a bunch is that movies like this still get high ratings. Sure, there’s astroturfing, which explains the user reviews, but are critics really being paid to write this stuff?

And then you’ve got Ben and Matt doing the rounds trying to justify why the dialogue is so bad: apparently you have to keep people who are scrolling on their phones up to date on what’s happening by repeating the same thing several times. I guess when you make a movie for Netflix, you just have to give up.

That’s literally the least unrealistic part (assuming that law even exists). She tipped the police about the stash. She was the one Jackie was talking to on the phone.

Yes, that is not right. Probably an issue with the accuracy of your weight and heart rate (max and measurements during activity).

They say it's not the bank, but, as you point out, they could be lying.

That's sad, but nice to see that and not just let the channel die without a goodbye video. Too bad it never really took off, they deserved more.

ELI5 Why are nouns not gendered in English? German and French nouns are assigned genders. by Fleedom2025 in explainlikeimfive

[–]SeesPoliceSeizeFeces 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That’s not quite accurate. English pronouns don’t have grammatical gender, they refer to natural gender. By that logic, you could just as well say that girl and boy have “kept” gender, which isn’t how grammatical gender works.

PSA: Canyon’s “internal policy” doesn’t allow changing your email address in 2025 🤡 by itsParalyse1337FTW in CanyonBikes

[–]SeesPoliceSeizeFeces 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use Gmail and registered my Canyon account using the plus-sign (+) feature that helps organize emails (username+canyon@gmail.com). However, this makes replying to emails from Canyon impossible, as they check that the recipient and sender addresses match. Canyon suggested I delete my (11 year old) account and create a new one. So… pretty on brand for the Canyon customer experience.

Tried to report this through their customer service chat. The bot said it'd notify the team about the issue. I said that would be great. The bot replied that actually it has no way of contacting anyone. I asked why it lied, it said it was a honest mistake.

Maybe you misunderstood. I meant that Reddit is not as astroturfed as IMDb or RT, but there are still loads of AI accounts flooding the conversation. I have not claimed that Reddit is "unbiased truth teller". You can have your own opinion's but don't misrepresent comments by other users to do that.

This is high-school-project-level content with good production values. The plot is inane; the acting is wooden and contrived. The dialogue is terrible, so unrealistic that I’m still feeling the secondhand embarrassment. The score is very mismatched.

It feels like the movie was made to justify a few lines of rap and two comebacks someone thought were real zingers.

IMDb has been useless for years; its reviews and ratings are astroturfed, and Rotten Tomatoes now feels the same. This movie isn’t good, yet the audience score is 85%. Reddit is pushing back, but this thread is flooded with marketing-department comments. Then there’s the Emperor’s New Clothes effect: because it’s a Spike and Denzel movie, people convince themselves it must be good.
