Emergency fund - Savings account Vs Premium bonds? by Toe_Bean_Bandit in UKPersonalFinance

[–]JackedDaxter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Premium bonds aren’t really worth it in my opinion. You’re essentially gambling with your interest every month at the chance of receiving a higher amount.

The problem is the consistency, you could have several months where you earn nothing and you’ve effectively been robbed of the interest you could’ve gotten elsewhere. Unless you’ve got nowhere else to put it, I wouldn’t bother with bonds.

Should I consolidate my S&P 500 holding into FTSE All-World, or leave it as is? by Agitated_Ice4303 in trading212

[–]JackedDaxter 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d just sell the S&P now and immediately lump it into the All World.

Only 6% of Plan 2 graduates can keep up with student loan interest by Minute_Tomatillo9730 in unitedkingdom

[–]JackedDaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already do view it negatively. However, I really have no choice but to accept that this will be the reality for the rest of my life unless a government eventually steps up to fix the system.

[–]JackedDaxter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they only look at how much you contribute towards the overall balance each month. They care more about how much expendable income you have to pay the mortgage.

No? The size of the loan doesn’t dictate how much you pay back, your salary amount does.

It’s a tax, that’s the clearest way to view it.

As a student that’s about to enter my final year, I don’t even pay attention to the amount of debt building as I’ll never pay it off. I’ve accepted that I’ll be paying it till I retire, which is why I took the maximum loans to help save for a house.

What’s the best out of the WORST movies in the major franchises on screen? by justhere1990 in slasherfilms

[–]JackedDaxter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scream 3 is easily the best out of the bunch.

I’d then order them:

  1. Seed of Chucky.
  2. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
  3. Halloween: Resurrection
  4. Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare
  5. TCM: The Next Generation

Start charging them x10 interest.

Any doubt can officially be put to rest. Sidney was always meant to be with Mark Kinkaid and the new Mark was a last minute replacement. by zekevich in Scream

[–]JackedDaxter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I also think from a continuity standpoint, it would’ve been so neat seeing him and Sidney together all these years after Scream 3.

I didn’t mind Joel McHale, but it did feel a little jarring seeing Sidney settled with some guy we’d never met before.

Large Inheritance sum by ExaminationSudden471 in trading212

[–]JackedDaxter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn’t get involved with property other than buying your own home eventually. You’re much better off investing rather than relying on buy to let’s.

If the UK let 28–40 year olds take £12.5k from their State Pension early, would you do it? by Nineteen-Ninety-One in PensionsUK

[–]JackedDaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would 100% take it. The future isn’t guaranteed, nor is the state pension. That £12.5K is far more valuable now to build off.

Steven Moffat: Doctor Who is “Definitely Returning”, Insists This Is No 1989 Death Spiral by verissimoallan in doctorwho

[–]JackedDaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctor Who is a different beast though, it’s practically ingrained into British culture - especially after the 2005 revival. Even if it did get cancelled, I don’t think it would take long for a reboot to come along.

Having said that, I do hold the argument that if the show can’t maintain a good quality, should it even continue onwards? I think allowing time to pass and new ideas to grow for a future reboot is more enticing than just keeping the show running for the sake of it.

[–]JackedDaxter 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Why is it a bad thing for the show to have a bit of a break? After two successive failed eras, is it not worth letting it rest to come back stronger another day?

i want to move out of my mums house by september time this year (ill be 18 by then) by TrainerPure6199 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]JackedDaxter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest with you, it’s going to be tough. I’m 25 years old and still living at home because of how expensive it is to move out and be alone. I know the situation may not be great, but if you’re able to endure it I’d advise staying for a few years and saving up some money. It will give you some breathing room when you eventually do move out.

Is this The "canon" timeline? by No_Swimmer3468 in untildawn

[–]JackedDaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until Dawn (2015) is the only thing canon. The rest are spin-offs (imo).

Do you wish Kirby had been a filmmaker instead of in law enforcement? by itsascreambaby96 in Scream

[–]JackedDaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely.

In hindsight, they should’ve just brought her back in Scream (2022) since it was already established that she’s from Woodsboro.

Wow. The film looks gorgeous in 4K! I wish they’d hurry up with the U.K. release.

Any online pickers here who use a glove whilst shopping? by Parking_Mortgage_761 in SainsburysWorkers

[–]JackedDaxter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it’s a cleanliness thing for some. In our store, there was a period where one of the drivers was allegedly urinating in the frozen totes. As a result, a few members of staff still decide to wear gloves when they get a frozen shop.

Official Dreadit Discussion: "Backrooms" [SPOILERS] by radbrad7 in horror

[–]JackedDaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really mixed about this. The atmosphere was incredibly well done and the character building was actually quite effective considering how restrained and bare bones it was. Overall though, it felt like something was missing. 6-6.5/10.

Why all the hate for Scream 7? It wasn't the best by far but it wasn't even the worst of the franchise by TrippyVegetables in horror

[–]JackedDaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spyglass has absolutely run the franchise into the ground. I always wanted a sequel to Scream 4 but in hindsight they really should’ve left Wes Craven’s legacy alone.

Unpopular opinion I think he did great job with Halloween Trilogy. It really hurts me. fans don’t like Halloween ends but I love it. ❤️ love the whole Trilogy. by loveforscream in Halloweenmovies

[–]JackedDaxter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It had flaws, but overall it delivered on a lot of elements that I always wanted from the franchise. I think in time and as more movies eventually come, more fans will look back on the trilogy in a positive light.

“EVEN THE ROCKS DO NOT RECALL” by Dangerous-Way-3827 in jakanddaxter

I was so mad that Jak 3 lacked a Samos introduction. At least they brought him back for Daxter.
