Don't let the "leave it to Beaver" facade of the 50's fool you - oral sex has always been very, very popular. More important is the fact that the median age at marriage has increased by six years since the 50's - from 22 and 20 (men/women) to 28 and 26. So a contemporary 24 year old is more likely to be single than prior generations.
The numbers are actually kinda interesting. The median ages fell from 1890 to 1950, remained steady through the 60's, and then began to rise again. (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005061.html)
WOAH! What the heck? My post changed when I hit the button!
Should be - I remember calling BS on this when I had Comcast less than 5 years ago here in Georgia. And it's not even the most outrageous deception they tried to pull on me.
Comcast is a bad actor.
(I see what happened. I had a "less than" in front of the 5, accidentally clicked post after preview.)
If you want to rewrite the US tax code, WTO rules, and a bunch of treaties and trade deals to make that legal, you're welcome to try. Just keep in mind that you'll need 2/3rds of the Senate, and 120+ other national governments.
does. The "U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia was behind the release of DNC emails" links to a story about what the DNC's consultants said, not a "U.S. intelligence agency".
Taxes pay for government. Apple pays every dime of taxes the laws of these various governments say they owe. Said governments want to tax more revenue than their laws allow, but aren't willing to make the legal and systemic changes necessary to allow for a valid claim to that revenue.
Which is illegal, so if this is legal it cannot also be fraudulent, because then it couldn't be legal.
But you did stumble into the real issue. There is no governing body with any authority to pass a law making it illegal. Nor is there a single governing body for the taxes to be payed to, just a bunch of national governments that want an effectively incalculable cut of profits another nation already claimed.
The only solution is an international governing body with the authority to tax and regulate multinational corporations.
All value is fiat. It is an entirely subjective concept. In other words, the US dollar has value for the same reason gold has value - we agree that it does. There's no point to the intermediate step of basing the value of a currency on a fiat-valued commodity, and several good reasons not to do so. A commodity base divorces the value of a currency from the national economy, greatly magnifying downswings in the business cycle, makes managing inflation/deflation much more difficult, makes a mess of international finance and currency exchange, there are national security concerns as it exposes the economy to currency attacks, and on and on...

You seem to be very angry, but don't have anywhere to put that anger. It's led you to choose ridiculous targets. The Jesuit CIA? Nonsense. Jesuits don't run anything in the US that the Catholic church doesn't own. Jesuits are a branch of the priesthood. They already have jobs. Your attacks on Jews and homosexuals are equally absurd.
Figure out who you're actually mad at and deal with your feelings.
Don't you see why that doesn't count? It says "he"! Hillary is exempt, as she is a she.
Seriously though, this was a Primary. Normal election laws don't apply to what is essentially a private club's internal voting. The Party probably has rules against it, and is supposed to remain impartial, but those are the Party's rules and it's up to the Party to deal with infractions.
Which they have done - they booed Debbie at breakfast. It hurt her feelings so badly that she had to resign and take a high level position in Hillary's campaign. Which she probably won't even get paid for! She'll have to deal with just the power and influence (and expense account) until the election is over and she takes her new position in the cabinet. Poor Debbie....
You're right in spirit, but missed some of the details. Which makes perfect sense if you aren't familiar with America's electoral system, because it can be a bit odd.
Each party has a Primary election to select its Presidential candidate. Primaries aren't official elections, they're internal party elections, and each party has a State committee that runs the primary in that State - The Illinois State Democratic Committee runs the Democrat primary in Illinois, same for Texas and so forth. Internal party matters, like primaries, are considered private political matters, and not subject to the same laws as the General election.
So, how the primary is organized, who can vote and who can run is a tangled mess of National party rules, State laws, and each State party's rules. The Federal Election Committee keeps an eye on donations, but that's about it for primaries. The General election, between the winners of each primary, is much more closely supervised, and if the FEC biased it there would be hell to pay.
But this was a Primary. The Party only has to follow its own rules, and if they are broken, the Party decides what to do about it. So even though they effectively rigged an election, it was their election and they aren't going to do anything about it. The party chairwoman resigned, but the orchestrator is still going to be nominated as the candidate, while the "disgraced" former chair's only punishment is having to take a high level position in Hillary's campaign.
No, you read that right. Her punishment is a promotion. The job doesn't pay in cash though, it pays in power and influence, possibly a cabinet seat.
And you probably thought Parliamentary democracy was messy.
Honestly, I don't see what the problem is. Yes, it's under Program Files, yes it relaxes permissions, but so what? Nothing gets elevated and permissions outside steam aren't affected. Having a user-writable folder in a secure location should only be an issue if there are system files inside it. It can cause headaches on shared systems, but for a home user it really doesn't matter.
VirtualStore isn't really up to the task. Doesn't play well with the DRM, updates, in-game settings, etc. Steam needs to have direct read/write permission for game files, and context switching (run as admin) only causes more headaches.
Creating a separate SteamLibrary folder outside the secure locations with relaxed permissions is the best solution. Or just don't worry about it.

I can do that!
My question exactly! It sounds like this bars them from using any modern platform.
How serious a crime? I don't want to actually hurt anybody.

Sorry for the language, but this is some weak-ass bullshit.

Taxes don't exist to punish companies for how they present themselves.

What if you use a corporate VPN to connect to company servers in, for example, the US, but tunnel all traffic through it?
Only if you're familiar with sarcasm.
Yeah, it was pretty obviously tongue-in-cheek.

Oops, Federal Election Commission, not committee. They don't really have much to do besides track donations until after the conventions.

Or rented time on a server run by a criminal syndicate. If scams get run off the thing, maybe you can just pay to use the address.
And that's all I've ever used it for. No point to the dang thing.

You can always set your library folder to something outside Program FIles so it isn't an issue.
Over the long term, it is. Short-term, it's a mess.
