It really would be nice to be able to have an option to spend The Onion bucks on bsky for nothing of real merit other than presumably slightly less ads at some point in the future.

because it can't be premade burger. they have to pull one of the burgers they made recently. the more complicated version of this is to order fries without salt and then ask for salt on the side. but that's really mean, because they then have to clear out all the salt and make a fresh batch.

wondering if ordering the burger without ketchup and then asking for ketchup on the side improves your experience?

this link goes to web search and deemphasizes both marketing and ai, which default Google does not. To use your historical fiction as an example, here's what I getβ€”Baldwin, Melville, and Devlin(the Project Gutenberg) as 3 of the top 4 non-NYT results.
