What exactly do you think a signature on a contract means?
It's a serious question. In you layman's view, what do you THINK signing something means?

What exactly do you think a signature on a contract means?
It's a serious question. In you layman's view, what do you THINK signing something means?
The contract IS the "applicable law".
Yes. It DOES.
In fact there is case law that confirms that.
That's what consent IS.
Yes, it's CLEAR you are not a lawyer.
They consented when they signed up. Read the terms. They have NO liability.
I guess "Request for Startups: Climate Tech " is easier to stomach than "Help us perpetuate idiotic mythology, and convince the world PLANT FOOD (CO2, which is 0.008% of our atmosphere, of which we only produce 0.004% OF that 0.008%) is somehow 'bad' so we can push communist policies" isn't it?
We'll make a site that says "Hur Durr! Duh globul warming" is you give us... Oh , I don't know... 25 million bucks! Deal?
From the same evil imbeciles who want "Pandemic Amnesty". stop giving them attention.
When your opposition is an industry, you will become GAB.COM.
Absolutely everything that is said about GAB.COM, is untrue. Look at the Wikipedia article. Yet the casual reader will believe it. Readers HERE will downvote this because they think GAB.COM is an "alt-right nazi site" with nothing more than what paid propaganda to refer to.
That is what will happen to you, if you try to counter an emerging industry.
YOU will be the one lied about. You have to be ready to weather that. Where will your revenue stream come from? Advertisers believe bought-and-paid-for lies as easily as anyone else will. They will not want to advertise.
Fee-based social media won't work (Too many "free" options), so you are stuck with donations...just like GAB.COM.
It's a good idea both ethically and morally, but the general public is evil and stupid. AI's already know this.
Let me say, first off, that you are truly a kindred spirit. I really thought this is a problem only I had. I got out of it myself, and as I write this I find myself wishing someone had done this for me.
The biggest problem with "accidental wealth" is that the recipient always finds out the ugly reality that they don't know what money is (Debt, Surety, Accounting), because they have been trained from childhood that their fate is to labour 1/3 of their life for it. Now you HAVE it, and all the previous problems vanish.
The best plan is to build AGAIN. See if you can do it twice! Stay focused on creating/building. You already know you can do it. This eliminates the "backbone" of your current depression. You are still in study, and a Masters Degree is NOT easy, but you might consider expanding your studies to include ACCOUNTING
You sold what you created, and it is important to keep the value you attained. It cannot be stressed enough; SECURE YOUR WEALTH
First: Stop letting people know you are wealthy. Pretend you don't have it. live like everyone else.
Second: Start looking for ways to SECURE that wealth. Studying accounting is a VERY high ROI and will really help here.
While you do all that, look for a partner. You have the despair of someone who does not have anyone with them on their journey.
The replies to your post are inspiring! Read them! There's MILLIONS of dollars worth of free shit, just waiting to be exploited, in these.
That's my $10 worth of free advice.
Also: Thank you for posting this. It caused me to remember some very important things I've neglected.
Half of these degrees are PRETEND.
A "liberal arts" "doctorate" means EXACTLY NOTHING.
The entire society is going to pay a heavy price for pretending unequal things are equal.
Your GenderFaggot Studies degree does NOT equal my Doctorates/Masters in Engineering, Computer Science and Medicine.
I refuse to pretend that they are.
You should too.
I know this will just haul in the downvotes, but I just want to point out the EVERY IPCC report, EVER, has been dead wrong. Every single one of them.
Anyone wo works with elements in a practical capacity will tell you; HYDROGEN IS TERRIFYING.
It's very unstable, and difficult to control.
"Ask me again in 10,000 years though" - PERFECT response.
I figure it'd take 10,000 years to gain enough knowledge to know what all your options are!
If the DO ask in 10,000 years, you should ask them what they are doing there and tell them not to bother you for a few hundred thousand years while you try a few things out.
You find something I wrote here offensive?
Perhaps you think something I wrote here is untrue?
It's a serious request; Explain why you think I should be censored.
This is what happens when you rely on junk pseudo-science as a screening mechanism
Anyone who believes a word of this, does not know a thing about money...or basic accounting, for that matter.
The credit will dry up pretty quickly with stunts like this, and the fact that he doesn't call it a success is VERY telling.
No business fails because it does not generate revenue; they only fail when they do not generate CREDIT. This is a "dit.com" era scam. EVERY job at that company can be automated, and you only get credit when you are reducing costs and expanding. This guy is jerking off in public, nothing more.
This article will not age well
This is the most awesome thing ever.
This is what inspires innovation.
