Commonly heard in the crime genre that involves money laundering, as most would hide their stash over there either in actual cash or digital monetary transfers. It’s only an island nation within the Caribbean, the thing is: why is it treated like a Swiss Bank of some sort? As in, either elites or those on the run would hide their funds in Cayman Islands.

Although it is not currently enforced, it is still mandatory for American men over 18 to register under the Selective Service System. But, there are countries who still have the draft enacted (i.e. Israel, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Greece, etc). but Israel’s draft is different from the American one since they make it mandatory for both genders (male & female) to serve.

South Korea’s draft is still in force, as even male K-Pop stars have been subjected to it. (like PSY, BTS) in the same manner how Elvis was drafted back in the 50s despite him becoming a well known singer, so celebrities aren’t excluded. The thing is, why does the draft still happen in certain countries but people in the USA oppose it a lot?

I know that from the 1997 movie, Vincent uses Jerome’s genetic code impersonating him since Vincent is born naturally while his brother has the “perfect” genes. Now putting the same tactic against surveillance technology, as the camera will only pick up the outer features of a person (this individual has a make over transforming as somebody else).

Like this, you managed to impersonate somebody who is constantly surveilled (on the system’s records) but your true self remains off their system (constant “make up” everyday along with changing your hair style, posture, blood type, gate, appearance, voice, hair & eye color, fingerprints, etc). but the hard part is maintaining the disguise long term.

Even if you managed to meet a plastic surgeron + geneticist who can not only alter your appearance, but your DNA composition on formulating a new identity based on genetic data which changes your overall mannerisms & traits (bone structure, voice, gate, posture, fingerprints, eyes, etc). basically being “reborn” as someone entirely different.

It only tracks what they already collected through existing references and records, by having a “fake” profile in real life (in the form of genetic manipulation & fabricated IRL identity using someone else’s genetic data) it creates a illusion in the sense of it being tricked into thinking this person is him or her but in reality it’s a “fake” profile the entire time.

For me, instead of avoiding being tracked: rather “cheat the tracking system itself” by finding it’s weaknesses (nothing is immune) as all forms of technology have flaws in one way or the other. For example, if data is based on a person (can one alter their DNA outright, as the records won’t match your identity flagging it as somebody else), that’s the disguise.

Bonus: if one manages to pull off the disguise for long but gets compromised, refer back to the geneticist & doctor (if on your side) on issuing a death certificate rendering surveillance and pursuit void as the person they’re looking for has “died” (in reality, the geneticist is creating a new identity rescinding the existing one, another new disguise).

It’s already difficult on maintaing online anonymity on a conventional level because of age verification, but the same parties imposing surveillance tactics are now considering on replacing “grown crops” or farms with PHARMA FOOD (chemical & lab grown crap) whilst secretly trying to erode one’s right to privacy & feeding then what they should eat.

Heard of Soylent Green (the movie)? Yep, think of that. The same argument on “age verification ensures children’s safety” is now aimed at people’s eating habits amongst the lines of “stop eating all that junk, it’s bad for you” or “want to stay fit, here: eat this” upon them trying to convince everyone to eat PHARMA FOOD abandoning fresh produce.

It would mean, in a dystopian future: fresh produce, growing crops and raising meat is deemed “illegal” now both restaurants & grocery stores supply lab grown and chemically sythetic garbage to feed into people’s mouths under the guise of “it’s healthier than fast food or take out” when it’s laced with multiple poisons designed to slowly murder everyone.

Even though Scotland is part of the UK, they print their own bank notes from 3 different banks: Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland & Clydesdale Bank. Same with Northern Ireland (not Ireland proper), their own version of the currency is from Ulster Bank. Despite that, they’re both categorized as “Pound Sterling” (GBP).

Meaning they inherit the same monetary value as the British Pound, with the only difference being that they’re issued by different banks (like the ones from the UK proper are issued by the Bank of England) while the Scottish ones are from either of those 3 banks mentioned & the Northern Irish one is from Ulster (and mainly used there).

Even though, both versions of the “Pound” exist: are they recognized in the UK (like Britain itself) as real money (legal tender) or will they consider it play money (refuse to accept)? The thing is, are they exchangeable in Europe or will there be issues with foreign exchanges on dealing with both Northern Irish & Scottish Pound notes?

According to Google maps: there’s no definite border (indicated by dashed lines) between the Kashmir region (located near both India & Pakistan) in which India considers the entire region as theirs but both China & Pakistan argue against India’s claim.

If you are subscribed to Starlink (internet), what is it like when relying on satellite connection for both online live service play (as in multiplayer) and casual gaming? I’ve heard that star link internet sucks, is the subscription even worth the money? How well does satellite connection hold up in comparison to oceanic fiber optic cable internet? (Which is the most common form of connecting for the majority as it’s been around longer).

I know that Euro is the second most traded currency but it doesn’t have the #1 spot because of the US Dollar (which is printed on top of piling debt by the way) since oil is priced in USD per barrel instead of quoting it in EUR per barrel (since the US has monopoly on oil).

Money printers for the USD are running constantly, going “BRRR” and have a high national debt. They’re putting themselves further into that hole whilst printing more cash. What about the Euro? Is it even printed that often 24/7 or controlled to print a capped amount?

The only way to really Euro become superior is to incentivize it on a international scale (more than the US Dollar) on getting countries to accept & trust it more (but USD accounts for 60% of global commerce) so the Euro has A LOT of catching up to do on that.

Does the EU really have power or control over OPEC (Oil)? If they can grasp monopoly over the Gulf states by convincing them to price every barrel in Euros: would that strengthen the currency? The British Pound is the former global reserve currency before the US Dollar.

If European travelers stopped converting EUR to USD, only using EUR for international travel towards currency exchanges: would that increase the demand for it since US Dollar is literally the default for A LOT of countries (even “third world” ones) in terms of payment.

Arbitrary numbers regarding forex aren’t an indicator: so what if 1€ is worth more than $1? It’s more on PPP and trust, so with a stronger Euro traveling abroad (including the Americas): does that make it cheap for you to visit as you’re able to buy more than they can?
