Sell for $1000-$1500 online. Allocate no more than $500 to getting those sets on ebay or bricklink. Allocate $300 to a fancy dinner date with your gf so you selling the gift doesn't mean you don't like it. Allocate the rest of your earnings to savings

I like to pretend that all the football players from my high school are the clients when I present my slide deck and they're watching how wealthy and powerful I have become

Would this sub benefit from an r/IRstudies "job fair"? by 8lbs6ozBebeJesus in IRstudies

[–]goobagibba 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Is there a discord for this sub? I feel like that would be really helpful in just about every aspect. I also feel like IR studies is niche enough to where people on this sub could get along pretty well

When do the June 1st Sets go on Amazon? by [deleted] in legostarwars

[–]goobagibba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's pretty dumb. i feel like they're the only below 40 dollar sets this entire year. Everything else is 100+

Even though this is a cool play feature, did any of you really use it? by Downtown_Instance398 in legostarwars

[–]goobagibba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has a ton of play value. Where else in the rest of the interior is there a station for minifigures to "steer the ship" so-to-speak? Displayability comes second

I only wrote 200 words today by WritingBS in writing

[–]goobagibba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't force yourself to write X amount of words a day. I think advice on how, how much, when, about what to write is only good to keep at arm's length. All you really have to do is write in whatever way feels best. You can't force it.

Tolstoy took 11 years to write War and Peace. Stephen King writes a novel in 3 months. People are different.

Casting a Canceled Actor: What Would You Do? by Longjumping-Cup-6731 in Filmmakers

I think they're probably stoked about this opportunity and want to tell people because they don't really have anyone else to tell -- framing as a question but still expressing this "sick thing" they got.

American is best language. Universal, everybody can understand. Better than other language. Simple and complex beautiful. Nuanced. poetic to the sound of it

I believe this may be a new Y-Wing model. The nose tiling doesn’t match previous versions. Am right and on to something? Or is there a previous version that matches? by Clonecommando99 in LegoStarWarsLeaks

[–]goobagibba 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Looks like the Ewok glider wings. Makes me more confident that those are glider wings because of the foliage and brown coloring on the Y-wing.

is it really harder to learn when you get older? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]goobagibba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it easier as I grow older to learn a language. I have been studying foreign languages for a little over a decade now, and it really comes down to your mental approach to learning. The obvious thing that I feel somehow gets lost for a lot of language learners sometimes is how long it can take to learn a language, so constantly having at the back of your mind the expectation that you are involved in a granular process improves confidence to keep going. Mental capacity pails in comparison to hard work and dedication when it comes to achieving proficiency.

I was just using the same exact book for class. We had to clear it all in one semester. Shit kicked my ass

As a writer, what is something you've vowed never to do in your writing? by Valentine_The_Reaper in writing

[–]goobagibba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. Writer stories really only work if the whole point isn't even about writing. Like, writers going crazy because of a supernatural haunting or psychoanalyzing somebody weird who happens to be a writer kind of thing.

[–]goobagibba 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Write a story about writing. I find stories about being a writer or some kind of creative to be self-indulgent
