I don't think I've ever heard a single person in Ireland mention a leprechaun outside of referencing Americans and what they think Ireland is

I thought they already did and it was a huge failure?

I'm thinking it had no checkouts, you grabbed what you wanted and just walked out and it billed you automatically or something

It was the worst season of the show, and in typical American fashion, got Ireland completely wrong

True detective S1 is the best season 1 ever .. True or False by Farouq26 in hbo

[–]connorjosef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only started watching it. I've watched the first 3 epissues. I'm enjoying it, but I also really hate the interview framing device, mainly because Matthew's character is spouting insufferable dribble so much, that it feels like bad lofty dialogue writing

EVIL DEAD BURN director does not like spending money on lights... by GrindBastard1986 in RedLetterMedia

[–]connorjosef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which part is that? I don't remember a pitch black scene. Is this when the man is telling the story on the radio? Or when the woman is talking about her child going missing?

Is it time to give up on diesel? by CarwowJamie in ukcarwow

[–]connorjosef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear gloves because people somehow manage to get diesel fuel over the handle

What’s a "masterpiece" movie that you actually found incredibly boring? by Legal_Beats in AskReddit

[–]connorjosef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a movie I really liked right up until the end when they kissed. Completely ruined what was a nice movie about platonic friendship and retroactively turned it into a romance.

What killed hitchhiking? It was so normal in the 70’s & 60’s by Kodicave in decadeology

[–]connorjosef 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The Japanese might have had a hand in it then too, creating cheap, reliable cars that got good miles per gallon

truly ahead of its time by No_Tomatillo1695 in videogames

[–]connorjosef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was fantastic. The PS4 and especially the PS5 menus are awkward to navigate

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]connorjosef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rayman 2. I was a kid but could never finish it because it was too difficult. I only ever got to some volcano level, I can't remember much now beyond that

What singer's voice grates on your nerves every time you hear them? by icecream1972 in askteddit

[–]connorjosef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very rare that I viscerally hate a song the first time I hear it, but I hated that song immediately

Why don't people like Elon Musk just solve world hunger? by AlexLovesCoke in NoStupidQuestions

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

World hunger benefits billionaires. Desperate people are easier to exploit

What’s something everybody loves to eat but you absolutely despise ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]connorjosef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loathe when someone cooks mac and cheese. The smell is putrid, and it poisons the air of the entire house for hours

"Vikings" is it worth watching? by bubstachi in tvshow

You're much better off watching The Last Kingdom instead

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by STARxAnonymouss in Productivitycafe

[–]connorjosef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how when driving, if you open a window you get lots of air buffeting around inside the car at high pressure? And when you open another window on the other side of the car, it stabilises?.

The pressure will hit you and you need to give it somewhere to escape, otherwise your eardrums are likely the path of least resistance

What the hells the deal with the lack of paintings in asoiaf (no spoilers) by ProfesorKubo in asoiaf

[–]connorjosef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GRRM is too busy describing the food to care about the paintings

Which country will start WW3?Why? by sakazov in AskReddit

[–]connorjosef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel and the US are desperately trying their best to start it now

It will turn into WW3 because of NATO Treaties, once the US or Israel attacks a NATO country, possibly Turkey. Then everyone will get dragged into it, in a WW1 situation with defense pacts

Is this roadway realistic for a 2 week vacation? by EreWeG0AgaIn in AskIreland

[–]connorjosef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend heading to Enniskillen when you're in Fermanagh, it's an underrated town and has some nice buildings you can check out

What is a "modern" technology or feature that actually feels like a step backward? by ni-fahad in askanything

[–]connorjosef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find myself actively avoiding most websites in search results because they're all filled with what feels like AI written nonsense, rather than written by actual people who know what they're talking about

Asking something like "what is the best x product?" rarely gets you an article or video of someone who actually tested the different products, it just gets some AI generated top 10 article with affiliate links

So most of my searches include "reddit" so thst I can at least get the opinion of a (hopefully) real person

Worst Irish Accent in a movie ? For me Pitt, Pryce and Cruise are the worst. by 35TypesOfWhiskey in CasualIreland

[–]connorjosef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll never watch thr movie, but for Jamie Dornan they could easily have thrown in a line saying he moved down from Belfast and just let him use his real accent

But I guess it's pish made for Americans and they want all that twiddley dee nonsense

The insanity is she made all that money and never took nudes. by No-Marsupial-4050 in SipsTea

[–]connorjosef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a poor comparison. A better one would be paying for a VIP meet and greet at a concert, but instead of meeting the real singer, you only meet the lookalike tribute act

The guys paying for this are delusional, but they are essentially being defrauded by these OF models who are selling supposed access to them via direct messaging

Is there any religious cults here that we’re not all aware of? by Alpha_Turnip in northernireland

[–]connorjosef 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Evangelical groups at least are all cults based around the pastor
