| Topic | Do you think big lottery winners should be required to make themselves public? |
| K181 07/27/22 2:06:49 PM #29 | Aristoph posted... If you win more than $10 million, you have something like a 50/50 chance of being either dead, destitute, or in jail within a few years. The risk to big lottery winners is actually quite huge. The problems just tend to not be so obvious. Families torn apart fighting over who gets how much money, suing each other over their supposed manipulation of the winner. It may not often come to physical attacks, but it certainly happens. And there are lots of other problems that come up because of suddenly having a ton of money to handle. Aristoph posted...

It may not often come to physical attacks, but it certainly happens. And there are lots of other problems that come up because of suddenly having a ton of money to handle. Unless you have sources otherwise, I'm pretty sure the negative aspects are from people not knowing how to save money that they now have, burning through all of it, and being depressed, not from being victimized by others. Anonymity wouldn't really address that. And the point to be made is that it's an important anti-corruption measure to prevent lotto fraud as early lotteries were rife with, and the downside to it being public knowledge seems vastly overblown. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

| K181 07/27/22 2:02:35 PM #27 | EmbraceOfDeath posted... Disclosing doesn't stop or expose corruption either though, so there's no reason for it. Just because a winner is a "nobody" wouldn't mean they're not an accomplice to it being rigged. Sure, but it makes it harder to launder or hide the money by lotto officials or by state agents. It does serve a purpose. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

Dunno, but as there isn't a rash of murders, kidnappings, or blackmails of lottery winners (that I'm aware of), the risk to lotto winners seems to be overblown. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

| Topic | Do you think big lottery winners should be required to make themselves public? |
| K181 07/27/22 1:44:02 PM #19 | The reason why many states require lottery winners to be public info is for transparency so as to eliminate the potential for the government to fake lottery winners and keep winnings in their hands. So while I get why people wouldn't want to come forward with the fact that they're now uber rich, it's an important anti-corruption measure. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

| K181 07/27/22 12:08:37 PM #5 | A single movie? Adult Link. A film series? First movie is kid Link, second is young teen Link, third is adult Link. And have there be different baddies, with Ganon an overarching mastermind/puppetmaster for the first films before being the main bad in the third. Regardless, a new story. Let there be debate where on the timeline it falls. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |
| Topic | Are there any films that have already been seen for the last time? |
| K181 07/27/22 12:03:03 PM #9 | Yeah, that's the thing.... it'd be impossible to know. Even if you're the first person to watch a movie in decades, there might be someone else that watches decades more in the future, or you watching it starts a conversation that leads to someone else watching. And I fully wasn't expecting a movie to be listed as a definitive answer. It's inherently a thought experiment more than anything else. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

| Topic | Are there any films that have already been seen for the last time? |
| K181 07/27/22 11:14:57 AM #1 | Two caveats: 1) Obviously not counting lost films, and 2) Only talking about mainstream commercial releases, not tiny indies, arthouse projects, or student films that only had a print or two made or from the start had an audience topped out in the dozens. We're talking mainstream Hollywood productions, or the equivalent internationally. My oldest daughter recently became obsessed with the idea of lost films, and by correlation discarded and forgotten films. She told me this morning that she wants to watch a movie and be the last person to watch it, not by any other print being destroyed or the like, but from her being the last person with an inclination to ever see it again. And that left me thinking.... have there been movies that have honestly been dropped to the footnotes of history, never to be seen again by any other human despite theoretically being available for public consumption? An interesting thought, as I have no idea. I'd be inclined to say that there have to be existing movies already that nobody else would ever watch, but that's a pretty definitive and massive bar to take. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |

| K181 07/26/22 5:47:47 PM #3 | Not really. I don't think fat people should be shamed, but encouraging unhealthy behavior isn't a good idea either. And finding fat people unattractive is fine, too. And to be clear, I'm talking about dudes, too. Having a beer belly is unhealthy and there's nothing wrong with women (or men) rejecting you for it, too. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. |
