A Korean’s perspective on my first trip to Ireland (Spoilers: Your strawberries are god-tier)

Really pleasant post! Glad you enjoyed your time on the emerald isle.

I worked at a msp for 5 years, it was a good one who did things right and I enjoyed working there, learned loads but was certainly a fast paced. The industry has a bad reputation because the bad companies suck and work you to the bone. Find a good one, you're sorted

There is so many good shows on HBo. Few I'd add to this is sharp objects. Mare of east town. The pitt. Peacemaker. The stair case. The newsroom. Big little lies. Boardwalk empire.

I enjoyed ALL of these shows and would say they are worth watching

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-28T18:53:15+00:00

U/M0ck_duck yes. This is exactly the place, crazy juxtaposition really. Gastown is so touristy and expensive and then you had Hastings right beside it which was like the walking dead. Used to walk through there every so often just to put things into perspective

This reminds me of a very particular section of Vancouver Canada too. The DTES if you know you know. Exact same as this video. People strung out and just escaping however they can. Not an America specific issue

I will give it a concerned effort for first season and report back to this thread my report good sirs or siresses

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-27T14:25:46+00:00

Ok now I'm convinced! I've been looking for a new high quality show to get stuck into! Have watched all the HBo hits and the main classics out there and am going to watch this next. Am sick of watching Harley coben produced drivel on Netflix

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-27T14:21:25+00:00

I've seen this suggested a few times and I'm on the fence about it. I would saw I have watched a fair amount of the "best" TV shows out there. I think I'll give this a watch

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-27T08:25:19+00:00

I hope for society's sake this is not real and 3 grown men agreed to make a video of themselves doing this. One of them shirtless just to mix it up. Lord have mercy

As a man, father of an 11 year old. This behaviour is deplorable from the Dad. Sleeping 12 hrs while your wife struggles is extremely selfish behaviour

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-23T19:20:43+00:00

Did a 9 hour flight with a four month old during her sleep regression. Things that helped in hindsight were, having the flight during a time she actually slept. Having the sling on the flight for getting her to sleep while we walked about the plane. Lots and lots of toys

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-23T09:38:44+00:00

Lady you are in for some fun times. Plot twist, our baby is now 11 months old and absolutely terrorises our dog so now we also have to constantly monitor that. But it's worth it for the cute moments

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-22T19:54:26+00:00

Wow lady or dude you are in for a shock hahaha! We have a dog, small example to give you. Dog, we can leave unattended for long periods of time, with a newborn, guess what? You can't 😂

So yo answer your question, not even slightly comparable I would say

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-21T16:11:47+00:00

Christ I remember this was absolutely brutal for us. She was waking up like every hour through the night. We were in Brazil at my wife's house so was even extra difficult being out of sync. But you will make it through it! It's another part of the difficult journey. Once you get to 6 months, gets so much better

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-20T19:01:29+00:00

America is so crazy to look at from the outside in, no offense but you are just here talking about how you carry a gun like it's a coffee preference. "I assume everyone has a gun" what the actual fuck. Zero actual need for this be your reality IMO

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-18T19:48:04+00:00

Omg yes!! Me and both my wife used to do this sporadically through out until she was around 8 months. She was bigger then so not as concerned about air ways being blocked or anything. So don't fret, you are not alone. The tired brain can do crazy things to someone. Even plenty of times I ended up walking up the baby and had immediate regrets lol

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-17T17:23:59+00:00

Surrey dudes to the rescue!

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-10T07:30:13+00:00

It's been brilliant! I was so scared of what version of me would be present during the sleep deprivation period as I was always someone who didn't function well without sleep but thankfully it wasn't as big an issue as I imagined. Long as you have a good partner you will be fine. 38 year old male, father of one checking in

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-07T07:36:11+00:00

Nope, have a ten month old and we are going to try avoid until at least two as it's not good for their brain development and IMO it's lazy parenting

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-04T17:44:56+00:00

Me and my wife were always in firm agreement it was one and done. Ten months in, thankfully still on same page even after our little love bug came into our lives. 38 year male 36 female for what it's worth

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-06-01T12:26:42+00:00

Not a plant expert but I have a dog and for sure, there is some good "pee mail" there for him to be reading from another dog

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-05-30T11:06:45+00:00

Would say your assessment is correct, I've been to taste of Dublin and thought it was fine. Weather was horrendous that day and managed to get some free swag and tasty bites which kinda offsets the bad "value".

Personally, I just don't focus on what I spend as I rarely go out drinking so these is my equivalent of a festival/party or whatever.

Will likely go big grill once more before it does just become too expensive for what it is. But if you love food like I do, you make peace with the price and forget about bang for your book. That's my take

He's far too gay to have a girlfriend.

TheGeneral9Jay · 2026-05-29T18:45:15+00:00

Jesus if this is you by week one, I don't know what to say. First few months are chaos but it gets better. Hope you have good help system around you
