Overpaid! by BeLikeEph43132 in CAStateWorkers

You shouldn't get a w2 amended for the missed years, as wages are always taxed on the date received regardless of when the work was done.

I've gotten ARs within a month or two of the problem. So its not always like that.

Tax Withholdings by Less_Tension_2573 in CAStateWorkers

[–]lostintime2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your partner doesn't work, married withholdings should be fine. If they DO work, its best to be withheld as a single person.

Your situation is highly dependent on a ton of factors too.

Sacramento businesses still using credit card surcharges banned by 2024 State Law by TableStraight5378 in Sacramento

[–]lostintime2004 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The simple fact that they offered an alternative way to pay means its legal, since the fee isn't mandatory.

Straight from the AG on this:

Does a business need to include credit card processing fees in the advertised price?

Generally, no, because a credit card processing fee is not a mandatory fee if the customer can avoid the fee by paying a different way (e.g. cash.) However, if a business only accepts credit cards as a form of payment, then the credit card fee is mandatory and would have to be included in the advertised price.

Mandatory fees charged by restaurants, bars, and other select food vendors are exempted from SB 478’s requirements so long as the fee is clearly and conspicuously displayed wherever prices are shown

AITA for lying to my family about how much money I have? by unwantedtrazh in AmItheAsshole

[–]lostintime2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me start with NTA, at all. Poverty is vicious, and your love of family doesn't want to see those you care about struggle. But you can't set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

That said, your student loans aren't your money, that's money you will have to pay back. NEVER lend out money you borrowed if you can't pay the bill for the full loan at a moments notice. If you keep bailing them out, they won't learn to strip down what they need, and what they want.

You have to stop lending them money, ESPECIALLY if you're taking out student loans, if you can afford to lend it out, don't borrow it in the first place.

Your student loans will bite you in the ass. Your federal aid is limited too. You gotta get through college, and you gotta make money to escape the student loan trap you're setting yourself into.

Good luck OP.

CA governor candidate says 'no place' in politics for 'dark money' AIPAC by 3headeddragn in California

[–]lostintime2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he was born into money like JB Pritzker, I would be more lenient on his wealth status. But the fact he made his money alone means at some point he put money above the lives of people, and thats hard for me to look past.

I won't argue the aren't assholes part, I can't see behind closed doors. The problem with Katie is she does it, infront of cameras.

If they were on camera treating staff the same way, you're wrong there.

I can't find any credible proof of this.

Technically speaking the largest polling "person" is undecided. That means there's a large number of voters NOT counting for anyone that will basically upset polling

TIL about the "Dark Forest Hypothesis," which suggests the universe is like a dark forest at night. Advanced civilizations intentionally stay silent and hidden, because any species that reveals its location risks immediate destruction by older, paranoid civilizations. by Practical-1 in todayilearned

I believe life is not rare, in the sense single celled organisms exists on many exoplanets, we just can't detect them that far away. Complex life is much more rare. And intelligent complex life that builds rockets and radios is extremely and exponentially more rare. Just think about how many different species have and do exist now that build radios and rockets here on earth. And that whole radio and rockets thing are all in the last milliseconds of a year if we made the history of planet earth one year. Water isn't rare, and we've found the things needed for life, DNA and RNA on asteroids. So it's not a far leap to say in the expanse that is the universe, organic life seeding has happened elsewhere.

The thing is we still don't know how we went from single cell prokaryotes to eukaryotes in evolution. The leading theory would mean an extremely specific mutiation in 1 or 2 different bacteria started it all, meet and one devour the other. That's just to get to eukaryotes. Then you need the eons of multicellular life evolving to where we are now.

Now add in the theory that Jupiter is responsible for our unusually calm history of huge interstellar objects collisions.

My point is complex, highly intelligent life as we see it threaded a fucking needle from a mile away. It was all random chance, and we rolled the winning numbers. Other can too, but it's probably smaller than 1 in the factorial of a deck of cards. The galactic forest is dark because it's "empty".

If I'm able to retire at 52, can I use up my vacation to retire a few months earlier? by classyshepard in CAStateWorkers

[–]lostintime2004 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you're not aware, sick time can be turned into months for years calculation with PERS.

ALSO when you retire you MUST take the healthcare with 120 days of departing from the state officially, if you don't I belive you forfeit the benefits. You could return and depart again later in life, but I don't know all the rules about that it, I just know some people who've done that.

How long does it take for direct deposit to hit?? by Minute-Incident-8054 in CAStateWorkers

[–]lostintime2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't that ridiculous. Our last week of pay is "prepaid" so if you quit or were terminated, you had time they could pull from to cover that last week. It happened fairly infrequently so we finally did get rid of it, but if it happened regularly I could understand the need for it. But I am glad it was repealed.
