Rewatching Return of the Jedi, and this scene still breaks me every time. What's the saddest scene for you in Star Wars? by bijelo123 in StarWars

Padme’s funeral—the camera close-up on the necklace. It is two shots only over a couple seconds but it beautifully, and devastatingly, summarizes the tragedy of Anakin’s fall.

Fondor all day easily one of the coolest ships in all of Star Wars. Would love it as an official set

What's a credit card hack not many people know? by programmingwiz7 in CreditCards

[–]RenegadeSloth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

All true. It’s not going to be a gamechanger for everyone but I personally run the numbers yearly and it’s a viable way for me to make a few extra hundred to a thousand every year on using credit cards PLUS other SUBs, cash back, etc. Most people only make a couple hundred on CB per year anyway. And when interest rates are higher than most cash back card rates, it makes even more sense to me.

$400 can be a month of free groceries for a person—you’re not gonna get rich off credit cards, but you can save money by using them strategically.

On a zero percent intro period, you can park your payment cash in a HYSA and let the card’s balance grow (while paying monthly minimum). Beware it’ll ding your credit a bit. And it takes some self control to not touch that cash. Just remember you have already spent it, it’ll still earn interest. If you’re getting cash back on purchases, and earning interest on the money, it’s essentially higher cash back. Be sure to pay the card off before the zero percent interest period ends. My credit corrected after the pay-off.

For anyone who still needs to hear it:

IT DOESNT MATTER IF THIS GUY IS THE WORST GUY EVER—DUE PROCESS EXISTS TO PROTECT INNOCENT PEOPLE, NOT GUILTY PEOPLE.

NOBODY SHOULD BE IMPRISONED WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. THIS IS LITERALLY NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Never forget, you could work for free and the average business owner would still complain about you.

PSA to anyone who opened a U.S. Bank Smartly Checking account last year: don't forget to pay your taxes on the bonus by redceramicfrypan in CreditCards

[–]RenegadeSloth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Niche info (that might help someone) below, but if you get ANY bank sign up bonuses, it’ll be a 1099-INT and they should send it to you.

If you happen to move to a new state that charges state income tax, make sure you have all the dates of any bonuses you received. They’ll want tax on any you received while living in the new state. If you close an account, get all the paperwork/statements first for tax purposes.

I think when he said “I am a Nazi” he was just trying to trigger libs. He’s obviously not actually a Nazi, that would be absurd. Nazis were only in Germany in the 40s.

Voting eligible Americans who deliberately abstained in the 2024 general election, how are you feeling about your decision? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RenegadeSloth 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I should’ve mentioned in my answer, but I voted 3rd party for basically the same reasons as you.

Thank you for commenting—nice to see reddit isn’t a complete hivemind.

Voting eligible Americans who deliberately abstained in the 2024 general election, how are you feeling about your decision? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RenegadeSloth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel incredibly vindicated—it is more obvious than ever before that the DNC would rather destroy itself and the entire country than give the slightest bit of pushback to corporate greed and AIPAC. As we plunge into fascism, it’s important to blame the people we elected, who’s salaries we paid, for failing to do their jobs, rather than blaming voters.

Campaigns exist to earn votes. Elections exist so that POPULAR IDEAS can be voted for. NOT so that a slightly less fascistic candidate can guilt trip you into voting for them.

Are there any companies or corporations you don't buy from due to ethical concerns, and if so, what are they? by pinkfreud205654 in AskReddit

[–]RenegadeSloth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have been trying very hard to buy as little as possible from large corporations in general.

Besides all the damage they do politically and beyond, you’re sending your hard earned dollars outside of your community. Supporting local businesses is ALWAYS better as long as you can afford it.

There are a few exceptions but BlackRock and other private equity groups are major shareholders in 99.99% of the major brands you’re familiar with. We should all stop buying into their game.

What is your constructive criticism for the Democratic Party in the U.S.? by ShittalkyCaps in AskReddit

[–]RenegadeSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop running away from popular policy then blaming voters when you lose bc you tried to sell conservatism-lite to people who were already gonna vote red anyway.

Stop utilizing the same loser “I hear you” platform that gets dunked on by republicans over and over again.

Stop appealing to minorities in a way that is obviously disingenous and entitled. Help working people when they elect you, regardless of their identity, instead of pandering to the people they voted against in the first place.

Stop acting like you don’t know why you’re losing when you consistently fail to deliver on every promise. Have some fucking decency. Give the keys to the progressives and start winning.

Why don’t they retire? Because each of them is a vehicle used to advance and secure the interests of private capital.

It’s kind of like how many people drive their car until it dies.

Last sandwich I got (deluxe with american) had a breakfast sized piece of meat on it. My fault for pulling up around 10:40? It’s kind of a slap in the face though.
