The word "pay" in paragraph 1, the word "details" in paragraph 5, and the word "money" in paragraph 7. It's possible that either my computer or the LW site has some very creative adware.

Like fubarubfusco says below, this is probably a malware issue. I saw something similar when a disk recovery program I didn't vet thoroughly enough infected me with a searchbar package that I'll leave nameless; MalwareBytes took care of most of it for me, though I had to do a little cleanup work myself.

It should probably be mentioned that most widespread antivirus packages won't catch this sort of thing; you need something that casts a broader net.
