That’s why they tend to target vulnerable populations when possible. They target people who may be confused, uninformed, have poor English listening skills, etc like immigrants and/or the elderly. People who should know better may also panic when threatened by someone claiming to be from the IRS. No one “almost…

You should have kept going and told just them to report you to the police if they didn’t like it.

Exactly. An adult American citizen should know that the IRS isn’t going to call you up and threaten to have police immediately come and arrest you. The scammers have to go after the most vulnerable populations to make it work, and it’s disgusting.

They’ll also play on the family of immigrants in their home countries. I knew a graduate student from China whose parents were scammed. She was studying in the US and her parents were in China. The scammers told the parents that she was seriously injured and at the hospital and that they needed payment immediately to…

This is pretty standard. Only movies the studio knows are terrible (e.g., most of the DCEU) wait to the last second to remove the embargo.

I’m sure he has played Donkey Kong at Twin Galaxies. I also don’t see where there is evidence that he could do this without cheating since he’s only ever done it by cheating.

You must be ignoring all of the people in this very thread who have said that they quit or drastically reduced watching football. You’re also ignoring the fact that NFL ratings are down over 15% from two years ago, so a lot of people have actually quit.

I agree. This is really impressive, and I understand why people would try to speedrun this way, but it’s not “beating the game.”

This is obviously impressive, and I understand why people compete in this sort of speedrun, but he did not beat the game. He glitched to the credits. Yes, the credits usually play after beating the game, but that doesn’t mean seeing the credits equals beating the game.

People have gotten anal about that recently. I think they are both correct and mean essentially the same thing:
I couldn’t care less is a statement that there is nothing you currently have less interest in.
I could care less is a semi-sarcastic statement indicating that you care very little, but it’s theoretically…

You don’t see how a non-pregnant woman could be embarrassed by someone thinking they’re pregnant? Or a healthy guy with grey hair in his 50s or 60s could be upset by people assuming they’re frail or elderly?
It’s actually your problem if your that ignorant of how humans think.

Did you actually read the article? The potential problem with directly communicating like a “well-adjusted person” is the potential to embarrass or bring unwanted attention to the person being offered the seat.

If you actually read the article you would have realized that that method could lead you to embarrassing people (i.e., non-pregnant women, non-elderly people who happen to have grey hair, etc.) The method proposed in the article provides plausible deniability and doesn’t provide unwanted attention for the offeree.  

The expiration date means exactly what it says: It’s the final date that the US State Department considers the passport to be valid. The US government will consider the passport as valid ID until the expiration date. The US government does not control the additional rules that other countries have with regard to time…

“I am just saying I don’t think it is unreasonable for someone to review a document, license or passport, see an expiration date and assume the said thing is good until that date.”

The Expiration Date is when the US State Department no longer considers the passport valid. It means exactly what it says. The US State Department does not control the requirements of other countries with regard to the expiration date.
As others have already said, the requirements vary from country to country and can…

The idea of suing the family didn’t make any sense to me until I went to the original article and read this:
“Attorney Basileios Foutris, who represents the LeGrier family, said the teen’s estate currently contains no assets — though lawsuits against the city in fatal police shootings can reap substantial damages.

The prophecy has been fulfilled:

Exit polls. That’s where all that sort of data comes from for every election.

I agree. Ruining the “career” of someone who is already fabulously wealthy isn’t some horrific punishment.
