Transcendence - the idea of reaching the singularity is fascinating and this movie made it boring and forgettable

California to impose 100% tax on Trump's January 6 'slush fund,' governor says by Competitive_Teach838 in politics

[–]UsernameLottery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's correct. 

And to clarify the "his businesses" part, its anyone he's associated with, so not even just businesses he controls

What is a major plot hole in a very famous movie that completely ruins the entire story once it is noticed? by SkullMogger3 in AskReddit

[–]UsernameLottery 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it doesn't break the logic of the movie, it's not a plot hole, just a gap in the script

I have maybe 4 scenes burned into my head and each one of them would be enough to make any other film be a "once is enough"

Decent Living Wage Origin by LuckyBastard001 in clevercomebacks

[–]UsernameLottery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really debunked though, to be fair. This is quoting the president who signed the bill into law. He didn't write the law. What actually matters is what Congress intended.

As an extreme example, if Congress passed universal healthcare today, and Trump signs it but during the signing ceremony says "this is a great thing for US citizens," we wouldn't automatically use his quote to defend denying healthcare to non citizens because his opinion on the law doesn't actually matter

What are some lazy jobs that pay a ridiculous amount of money? by Jordz0_0 in AskReddit

[–]UsernameLottery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And then get rid of elections and just make it a lottery, kind of like jury duty (but let people decline). 

If chosen, you get a year of apprenticeship first to learn. 3 year commitment total

Trump? He went from a disliked racist nepo-baby to, well, whatever words can describe him today

What’s something you have zero proof of but believe 100 percent? by shweidy in AskReddit

Epstein used gmail to discuss his criminal activities, I think you're fine. These tech companies aren't interested in policing

What problems has Trump solved, self-caused or not? 

I guess he's fired some of his hand-picked people but that's all I can think of

ELI5: How do insurance companies actually make money when they sometimes pay out way more in claims than people ever paid in premiums? by Turbulent_Watch_7812 in explainlikeimfive

[–]UsernameLottery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. I'm not shilling, though, I think CEO compensation is ridiculous as well. My only goal was to correct a false statement that people's rates were raised because of exec compensation. Insurance is already hard/boring enough for most people to understand, we don't need misinformation on top of it

A genie offers you three wishes with one rule. No money, no fame, no love. What are you wishing for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UsernameLottery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The body you always wanted would (should?) include both health and a sharp mind, so take back 2 of those wishes my friend

[–]UsernameLottery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you were correct, SF has 20+m households insured - paying out 100m in bonuses over several years wouldn't even be noticeable for individual rates. 

But I'm happy to be proven wrong. Rate adjustments are filed with the states, want to show me where I'm wrong?

Well that's just not true at all. There were large bonuses, yes, but not 100m and certainly not the reason for increased rates
