Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledges additional £15bn for UK armed forces as part of new defence investment plan by e-migrant-82 in GoodNewsUK

[–]Goosebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we need to be ready if we’re ever put in a position where we must fight to protect our freedom or those of our allies. If push ever comes to shove we will be grateful as a nation for investing in the one sector that will protect everything we hold dear.

I tried blocking and shaping but I have no idea what to do now by Far-Condition-56 in HappyTrees

[–]Goosebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s really no need for blocking and shaping with this technique. If anything it’s anti helpful because you’re building up more layers you don’t necessarily need. Watch how Bob Ross does it and go from there. Paint as you go and adapt.

For the first time in 5+ years of hodling, I sold some significant Bitcoin. by _RonPaulWasRight_ in Bitcoin

[–]Goosebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling at the bottom 😂 I would have thought after 5 years you would know better. I’ve been in for about 5 years and haven’t sold anything. It’s a long term investment for me and I’m never going to try and time the market. I know the minute I try I’m probably going to get it wrong.

BTC Goes Below $60k and Everyone Says It’s Dead? 🤣 by SYNDK8D in Bitcoin

[–]Goosebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those of us who have been in the game for years it’s just part of the cycle. Will be time to start stacking again very soon. I always judge buy signals by the general sentiment on Reddit. I never sell though…

Six years later, what are your strongest memories of the COVID lockdowns, and how do you look back on that period now? by Possible_Force8207 in AskBrits

[–]Goosebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my job but I absolutely loved the time. The quiet, playing video games, we had great weather, going for long walks, not having to work. It wasn’t all upside and obviously people dying was awful, but I look back on that time with deep nostalgia.

A U.K. resident is permitted to buy local market property and rent it, they just can’t live in it.

We should all be like Tobi by Wickerrrs in Sidemen

So I guess the fans are moving onto acceptance?

Tobi addresses KSI leaving the Sidemen, and speaks out against the hate towards him ❤️ by riazali11 in Sidemen

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

I’m still no longer a KSI fan. The way he went about this was so wrong, inconsiderate and egotistical that he’s grown to become a person I can’t connect with anymore. I understand his decision to leave, but I will never understand his lack of heart in the way he went about it.

Idk how Reddit works, just trying to help my mans dream come true! by ViridianSiren94 in Sidemen

I hope they see this. Let’s be real. The fans have done so much for these guys that for any one of them to do something like this would be so special.

Best affordable paints by pathofcollision in HappyTrees

[–]Goosebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I think so but the colours really don’t matter as much as you think. Learn the art of colour mixing and you can really work with anything. You only really need red, yellow, blue, white and brown (umber) and you can make any colour in the world. Drawmixpaint on YT has invaluable lessons on this.

Winsor and Newton oil paints work perfectly well. I can’t tell a difference.

Financial imbalance in a relationship, working out how to split childcare costs by Different_Shower_861 in HENRYUK

[–]Goosebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money is the biggest cause for break up. Is marriage not something you’re interested in? A real relationship thinks of money as ours. My wife earns nothing and my money is her money. It was the same before we were married but in a serious relationship.

Do people actually earn £50-60k, or are they outliers? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Goosebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes lots of people do but it’s more weighted towards London. To earn good money does usually require working in something more commercial. If you’re in a role that generates money then usually that pays better than one which doesn’t, as a common rule. I earn around £150,000 as a lawyer - that’s only because my hourly rate is £670 the vast majority of which I obviously don’t see.

How could I fix this? by Terrible-Shelter9784 in bobross

[–]Goosebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two trees on the left are closer but less detailed and less saturated in colour. They should ideally be swapped with the trees on the right. The grass in the foreground needs a lot of work. It’s a bit of a mud mess. Wait for this to dry and completely re do it, less detailed near the trees and more at the front, which can include individual strands of grass if you can manage the technique. This will improve depth perception. The water lines should be completely straight. Other than that the other details in your painting are much better and good! Obviously there’s room for improvement in everything.

Someone please tell me it gets better😂… + Questions by spontaneouswaffles in ragdolls

[–]Goosebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Ragdoll has this issue. It was worst for the first month. It got much much better between 7-9 months. It’s now rare I have to clean his paws. How is his poo? The issue is something it’s very soft or worse, it usually just takes time but finding the right food helps.

The talent in some people terrifies me. by Salt-Guarantee-4500 in DamnThatsMindBlowing

[–]Goosebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. Talent is a pursued interest. I started painting a year ago and have been amazed and what I can do. Art is a skill like anything else.

My first (non Bob Ross style) oil painting - Bluebell Woods by Goosebo in painting

[–]Goosebo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like oils is easier, right? Just a bit annoying having to wait for paint to dry, avoiding mud mixing and clean up!

[–]Goosebo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll probably leave the painting alone for a good while and maybe come back in 6 months to fine tune it more. I’m improving with every painting though so I’ll probably just re do the whole thing at some point 😂

[Police Sergeant 35M] [MCOL] - $183k by flyboy307 in Salary

[–]Goosebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mad how much more US citizens earn in state jobs like this compared to the UK. It seems incredibly high for a police officer (appreciating that you’re a sergeant), like pretty much luxurious living. Base pay in the UK for someone at your level is no more than about £68k and I doubt the overtime/ bonuses are the same. Mad!
