If I buy all the telecomm companies, and then use the revenue to buy congress, and then conglomerate all of my acquisitions into VC-corp and move to make a hostile-takeover of the remaining two branches of the federal government, what does anti-trust law say?

Don't tell me repeatedly that you want to take me out to lunch and then when I propose an actual date and time suddenly withdraw, stare at your computer, and tell me you're too busy and then suddenly become too busy to ever do lunch because of this new project you're on.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

What kind of passive aggressive bullshit.... what a bitch move.
I think the clear solution is to just stop talking to her. She obviously likes stringing you along for emotional support all the while giving you nothing in return. Shes a sam Kinison ex girlfriend friend.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
A company offers a 'value-added' product by packaging a second related product in with something else. (IE MS packaging IE with Windows). When is this okay and when can the company get stomped on by the government for anti-competitive behavior?
Well to illegally tie two products together you have to make the purchase of one product conditioned on the purchase of the other. So when you package things like that basically the court has to weigh the anticompetitive effects against the procompetitive benefits.
From the Microsoft case in 2001
anticompetitive:
- taking IE out of add/remove programs
- commingling OS and IE code making IE impossible to uninstall
MS failed to show that these practices served any purpose other than furthering of their OS monopoly.
And there's a bunch of other crap with this case but in answer to your question, those two things are pretty clearly illegal, and other things I'm not sure about /you'd have to do a specific analysis of.
She's pretty neurotic and would always have these mini-break downs. Being a calm person and knowing her well, I was always pretty good at cheering her up and get her to think normally. I told her I couldn't do that stuff anymore, and if she does it again I'm gonna have to tell her I can't be her for her when she doesn't want to be there for me, and that we are broken up and she needs to learn how to deal with problems by herself.

Yep. Though this can hardly be news after Podly told us about her away message.

I've conceded the fact that I am probably attracted to beautiful, smart, and crazy women. Now the plan is to find one who is fine with their craziness.

You get bonus points for using Patrick in your OP, Sami.
Ex-girlfriend being crazy again. Like, uncalled for craziness.
She needs a good ovarian punch.
Kneel down infront of pretending to do something romantic, then grab her hips and give her a good headbutt in the ovaries.

Yes, beating crazy-girls usually makes them less crazy, good call.
You can contract out for that, or so I've heard...

Podly that's some cold shit.
That's just great.

That is so overt it is even below Oboro.

She's a lesbian, though, so that makes things much less complicated.

You made her gay?
You turned someone gay too?
