The Red Sea is actually just another rift valley along the same edge of the plate. It just filled in with water first.

A friend of mine went from a school in the US to a French school, and when she said there were 7 continents, everyone including the teacher made fun of her.

Dogmatism goes both ways.

We separate Europe, Asia, and Africa because the Ancient Greeks invented the boundaries and terms, and the Romans kept them up.

They lived in the area, so for them, these boundaries were just names given to land on either side of major bodies of water: the Nile, the Black Sea and Rioni river, and the Mediterranean.

They considered Egypt part of Asia for a while, and anything south of the Med as the landmass “Libya.” The Romans kept up the same definitions as maps expanded, and just extrapolated from there.

Friend of mine said this when JP 2 came out. Ruined the whole series for me after that.

The first one had some of the plot from the book. Everything after has about as much plot as a porno where instead of butts or dicks or boobs, it’s screams.

Globally, this is becoming a thing. Many states have digital IDs already.

Realistically, both paper with a chip or QR code should be valid for a while.

The color blue is not for rent, they’re giving that shit away.

If a company is publicly traded, then all leaked individuals are given 50.1% controlling stock in the company, split among the victims with new stocks created for them, with unclaimed stocks held in a trust controlled by anyone that did respond to claim stocks. They can sell the stocks, or drive the company into the ground out of spite. Maybe even both.

Companies not publicly traded have 3 months to make all code used, trademarked material, and patents open source in perpetuity, and 1 year to convert their corporate structure into a non-profit.

Regardless of the size of the company, the CEO, CTO, and board must eat their weight in fried bugs. They get to pick the type of bug from a list of 5 options, and any seasoning they want. Live streams of the bug eating will be monetized and the proceeds given to orphans, under the title of “It’s not a bug, its a feature.”
