re: A bettor will win $1,700,000 if the Spurs win tonight

I always love these hot takes completely lacking perspective. The median 401k balance in the US is under $200k for someone ~45 years old.
Keep 60% of this, invested in the S&P for 30 years, if is $6MM. 20 years is $2.5MM. Live by a simple drawdown plan of 4-5% so the principle keeps growing and you have a lifetime income of $125-250k depending on how long you can let it grow. Leaves you in a position to not NEED to worry about retirement while ensuring there is money for your survivors. Indeed, generational wealth
If this person is 40, and puts the $360k in an S&P index, plays it super conservative, lets it sit until 60, then starts drawing $125k per year, escalates that with a 2% cost of living adjustment, and keeps the principle invested for 40 years, his heirs will get about $8MM when he dies at 80.
There is truth in this in the abstract but the kind of guy who puts $2500 on a 4-way parlay like this is let's say unlikely to think "what's the safest most reasonable way I can invest this"?

Law/ lawsuits ain't gonna save you in England. They are definitively and affirmatively on the side of the stabber here. It remains to be seen whether the English have the will to do something else about it before it's too late.

Well, Angela Merkel let millions of them in and seeded the villages with them, because she had no children of her own whose future she cared about. So there's that.

re: If your kids are school age, here’s a list of “influencers” that might be good for them

If your kid is paying attention to any online "influencers" you have failed as a parent.
re: SCOTUS signals votes must be counted completely on election day.

What case was this and where is the ruling?
The case was argued in March. There has been no decision and no new "signals" since the argument. The OP is twitter-brained and posts anything that a rando twitter account says if it has a nice AI generated picture and he would like it to be true.
What does "signals" mean? They don't put out trailers for their opinions in advance. And the oral argument was 2 months ago.
They will probably rule the right way and I hope they do but I really hate this unsourced twitter bullshite that is just trolling for social media clout. And the way this board just runs with it as though the fact some random account posts something on twitter makes it true.

I think you are missing the point.
It’s supposed to be written from a society already deep off into a problem.
No, I get the point. My point is that advice from people who utterly failed to stop or fix the problem in their own country may be low-value/ not good advice.

Lol. This headline is like "Texas warns Britain: You can't ignore Mexicans." Maybe sort your own shite out first before preaching to other people.

What you describe is not simplicity. You click on the one that paid the most to be there. Google search turned into a giant ad list and I welcome this change.
Somehow search got worse as time went on.
Yes, the company whose multi trillion dollar value is built on selling ads is doing this because they will be less able to feed you ads this way.

So if we are the only ones keeping them existence how do they rule the world?
Through their influence on America, which is the world's preeminent superpower and doesn't at all need them to be the world's preeminent superpower, but yet goes out of its way to back them and protect them. This isn't the gotcha you think it is.
