This could be a very good thing. Accept the money, donate some of it to Nebula and move there.

Don't worry, your acne will go away in a few years.

That is a feature, not a bug.

Would painting a comma on a license plate (preferably one that is very visible for cameras but poorly visible with the naked eye) protect you from their surveillance?

Apparently not. Figures (other than from the company itself) show that crime has not go down, but that police abuse has gone up.

In so many ways, I don't follow this.

I did not realize the Illuminati already existed 27 million years ago.

Only one: it does not presume a huge organization with a zillion employee roles before you can think of starting to to something. Most other CMSes have at least 10 levels of creators, editors, correctors, etc, before you can post something.

In capitalist USA, fans PAY to get hit by shit.

Amid heatwave "Chevron", I think we might need a common definition of who the terrorists are.

A window. The top models come with a sunscreen.

Oh come on, we know for decades that the weather will be more extreme. So on average it will get warmer. For example, that makes showers bigger and more violent, as more energy gets into it and it reaches higher altitude until all water vapour has not only been undercooled, but actually frozen. This makes the cooling effect afterwards so large it can actually cause hypothermia if you are not dressed for it and have nowhere to hide. This is apart from the larger hailstones.

This is actually one of the major problems in Europe. In the past, a heatwave just ended, and sometimes with some thunderclouds. Nowadays, heatwaves end with violent thunderstorms. But those are not the frontal thunderstorms we are used to; these thunderstorms hardly move at all and can flood the same area for hours, sucking all moisture in from the environment and delivering it in one spot.

And yes, the global currents have changed as well, and will change further, which was what you were referring to.

Maybe it is time to pull your head out of the sand after 3 decades. If only because that sand gets terribly hot in summer.

It is. To the head, unfortunately. It is called AI Psychosis and vulnerable people (like CEOs apparently) can suffer from it.

Especially banks want a cashless society. The idea of a Central Bank Digital Currency is already quite old in Europe, but the banks have sabotaged it time and time again, out of fear that they would not be necessary anymore and would be unable to squeeze themselves between every payment.

Cory Doctorow has a few articles and podcasts about stock pricing. Basically, stocks are sold at any price the buyer is willing to pay for it. Stocks from over-hyped companies that may have a great potential for growth are expensive if enough people believe that that potential can eventually pay off. That also means that these companies must continue to produce hypes, else their existing stock value plummets and the company loses its "value". Note that any value here is purely imaginary and extremely volatile.
