My body doesn't really understand thirst. I can go all day with not a droplet of ingested water and then all of a sudden realize I'm parched. But I'm fairly sure I would ignore them warnings anyway.

I joined that exclusive club!
How much change is that? Does it fill a pocket? Might buy myself some nice things with a pocket full of change.

Depends how you define media stunt.
The first youtube pranksters who decided to give some money away to the homeless by "pranking" them (in a positive way) were all over the news, then 1000 wannabes popped up and all of a sudden there was no fuss about it.
Was it a media stunt? Probably. But it was all over the news because it was a first.
What this guy did maybe ain't the first, but it's as rare as one would imagine. Rare things like this get all over the news regardless whether that was the intention in the first place. Someone will tell someone else and the media will jump at the opportunity to show something people crave to hear. I can't imagine how he would do what he did anonymously.
The problem with many people is that they have grown to be so cynical that no good-will gesture would be perceived as selfless. "Surely there must be something fishy there". Well, maybe there is, maybe there isn't. I personally don't think there is, not in this case, but you're free to believe what you want, I ain't gonna try changing your opinion.
I prefer it when leadership gets paid in company stock.
That's exactly why most companies' leadership only thinks ahead until the next fiscal quarter end.
If it's not a big deal to lose some salary because it will be made up for in investment income/dividends, then why don't more CEOs do this?
Because:
A: their souls are dried up.
B: their souls are sold to the Devil.
C: They never had a soul in the first place.
What you should do is stop focusing on whether the dude is indeed negatively affected by this or not, and switch to whether the people who work for him are positively affected or not. They ARE positively affected and that's all that matters.
I don't care if it's a PR stunt or calculated move, I care whether the employees of that company are happier. If they are, all's peachy.
My oh my.
The Capitol hosts the Congress.
The White House is the residence of the US President.
The mailman landed at the US Capitol. Correct addressee.
You mixed the Capitol with the White House. Who fucked up?

I get Gigabit Internet and the speeds can't really be higher than expected, because my PC NIC is Gigabit as well.
Might theoretically get higher speeds but can't verify that.
Because knowledge is dangerous and steers you away from the righteous path?
Everything Nazi-related has a big red stamp named "Es ist verbotten!" all over it.
I would call that "hiding".
