One of the things I ponder is that these people who cannot be alone with themselves place that need to never be alone as some sort of proper and good state, and that anyone who can function by themselves is the outlier, the weirdo, the one "you have to look out for." How many times to we see the story about some crackpot that shoots up a school or McDonalds, and the writer feels compelled to mention that they were a "loner".

Note: "any" not "all".
Now, IANAL, but I think your fears may come true.
Consider the time axis, from minus infinity to plus infinity.
Somewhere along this axis the universe comes into existence.
Call this point t0.
Now why is t0 exactly t0? Shouldn't there be another universe, exactly equal to this one, with time t1 (!= t0).
Now even if time is created as part of a "big bang", there should be a "meta-time" for which this holds.
It should be publish or die (...)

It's also time they address the infamous one-click buying button, which is basically the same thing.
But let's say you had a patent on something which earned you a couple of thousand dollars a month.

This is all nice and all (transferring some data from A to B without stuttering), but what about my flying car?
If you can accomplish a task faster with a 3d-mouse than with a conventional mouse, and with less irritation, then why not?

If you're really mean, store a picture of a treasure map on each one, and maybe some lists of random hexadecimal numbers.
Brilliant. They will torture you until you give up the encryption keys of said hexadecimal codes.

Indeed. Basically, the light tells you to "prepare for impact".
But of course, after 20 cars have passed you, the message wears off.
What is a "real sport" anyway?
It is essentially a freak-show. The freaks of nature win the competition.

You mean like someone in a Google data-collection car?
Because he was too hot to handle, he was removed by remote control and transported to a steel-and-concrete isolation tank.
So, what was his body temperature?
