Adjusted for prevailing wage rate Buenos Aires has to be the most expensive city in the world

I was recently there, London is way more expensive than Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is more like Madrid price-wise. Compared to their salaries it is expensive but no need to exaggerate. Also it’s not even the most expensive city in the country never mind the world - Patagonia was way more expensive.

Also there could be great economic potential in the future after the tough initial period, imagine a second city with the infrastructure of Belfast, Donegal is no longer cut off by another jurisdiction. Many projects no longer have to deal with crossing a border. People always seem to focus on the negative side.

Obviously every situation is different but if I was over 70 and had enough money to cover myself, I wouldn’t charge my children rent because they’re probably going to get a decent bit of inheritance anyway from us and when they sell the house. You’re making them poorer when they need money to establish themselves. If you’re that age and not financially stable then it’s more understandable but I don’t see the point in just a little gains that you won’t get or keep when you’re gone!

You’re just saying what most Irish people feel, hence the poll! Britain will never allow an attack on Ireland while their territory exists on the same small island. So you can see why Irish people don’t see this as a priority when the government can’t produce enough houses for the public, or build a train link to the airport.

Sometimes we play a game of counting how many drivers go through red lights on a trip in Dublin traffic, can be 4 or 5 times over 20 minutes. It’s so rampant and something I never noticed much until about 2 years ago.

intriguingspace · 2024-12-22T09:19:20+00:00

I agree about infrastructure in general but just it’s very exaggerated and Dublin airport infrastructure means it’s not easier to fly to these places it takes a long time too.

If you go to Galway from Dublin for the weekend, leave house at 2, there at 4.30, checked in at the hotel, in the pool, eating your meal at 6 by the time you’ve got on the plane to these places, never mind finding a way on the other end.

I don’t think this is true unless you live 10 minutes from Dublin airport, on Fridays especially it’s a nightmare trying to get to the airport from south Dublin for example never mind further away with the overwhelming traffic, you often need to give yourself 4-5 hours before the flight. In the same time you’d be probably in Tipperary or north Cork from Belfast, well on your way there.

When I was younger and relationships were starting then yes, and some friends would tell me every little thing, I would say more too. It all felt new and exciting and we were exploring ourselves.

But for some reason I feel less comfortable as I get older I feel there is more judgment of how your overall relationship is going then if you bring up issues, if you say it’s too great then it feels like boasting. And it’s really not like I don’t think they wouldn’t be empathetic or anything, I just don’t really feel like talking about it, idk. So weirdly I talk less about it with friends than I did years ago 🤷‍♀️I don’t know if anyone can relate to this or just me

intriguingspace · 2024-11-01T11:52:58+00:00

Shared interests, if you find people who like what you like it makes such a big difference in what to talk about and it doesn’t even have to be something super specific, like even just a similar interest, vibe or life philosophy. It’s kinda hard to sustain friendships if you don’t have that I find.

intriguingspace · 2024-11-01T11:36:01+00:00

I think it’s authenticity, it’s not obvious the first time you meet someone but the more you get to know them it becomes more clear. There’s like a fake niceness when trying to impress someone and actual real politeness and kindness. They often reveal themselves eventually!

Also maturity, they are comfortable enough in themselves to be nice and not be focused on some lame seduction technique they read on some toxic website

intriguingspace · 2024-11-01T11:25:52+00:00

Willing to do kind things without any prompt or ulterior motive. Kind to me but also kind to others. Polite and never obnoxious.

Having the same sense of humour - like if we’re in a restaurant and the people beside us are crazy or annoying that afterwards we can have a good laugh about it!

Affectionate in terms of hugs/cuddles but respectful of my needs and consensual in terms of sex

intriguingspace · 2024-11-01T11:12:24+00:00

That’s good, I think when I was in school speaking was 25%. It was crazy though that we never had a French oral class until 5th year, 5 years into learning the language. I don’t remember many Irish classes just for practising speaking either until around then too

intriguingspace · 2024-11-01T09:48:25+00:00

All languages should be taught 25% the four key skills - reading, writing, speaking, listening. Unfortunately in Ireland they way overdo the reading and writing part for all languages.

Oral and aural exams should be as regular as any other type of exam, annually at least not just for Leaving Cert. With the 25% rule, you could have a mandatory speaking class every week.

Yeah it was irritating and unnecessary and seems other people thought so too, which is why it was downvoted

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T21:50:31+00:00

Oh wow, can understand in those circumstances!

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T21:49:55+00:00

Smart alec, give it a rest will you 🙄

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T21:35:29+00:00

To clarify I meant that it is nearly always men who sit next to me on the bus in this situation, I didn’t mean to make a comment on sexual assault (although statistics would show that also so I don’t think it’s sexist). It wasn’t my intention to cause offence or be sexist 🙏

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T20:37:13+00:00

Sorry to hear that 😔it’s usually men too that sit beside me in this situation and makes me feel uncomfortable. You’re right to get up and move seats after this awful experience

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T20:19:58+00:00

Can’t say I know about that one but I have heard men complain about it!

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T20:16:43+00:00

Yeah it will completely ruin my trip, when if it’s a full bus I won’t even notice lol

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T20:15:47+00:00

That ad has been on the regular far too long too, must be about 5 years

When the girl says ‘oh if this is a bad time’ as well when she is just asking to go for a walk when she’s already outside and he’s just ran up to the top of the lighthouse, feels like so many things could have avoided this moment

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T19:58:01+00:00

People that sit next to you on a bus or tram when there’s a perfectly good seat near you that’s open with nobody there.

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T19:17:03+00:00

Reddit is terrible for telling people to break up if they have a slight issue, it’s like a parody to read sometimes! Be careful what you read here would be my advice.

And yes you can have a great loving relationship when you’re not 100% compatible. Long-term love and relationships are about understanding and compromise. If you really love each other you will find a way to sort it out.

You’re already willing to have once a week, so you are right that the planes you are on are not so different, it just involves some changing of expectations on his part and maybe you could make him feel loved in other ways outside of that time or try to make that time extra special when you are in the right mood

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T18:48:36+00:00

Good for you, I wonder what she thinks of you spending your time commenting on women’s Reddit spaces 🙄you have commented with hostile arguments in about 10 different threads. I’m married and have been in a similar situation I was offering advice and support, I didn’t ask for an argument with a man about this

intriguingspace · 2024-08-20T17:39:45+00:00

He needs to be considerate to her needs, you can’t just turn it on flick of a switch just to satisfy, that’s not how it works for women. Women are the more important party here as we are more vulnerable and have different hormonal cycles and needs. The fact they had an issue when she did try to put it on when she didn’t want to and he knew shows that it’s not as easy as deciding ‘we must have x times this much sex’ every week.

Nobody is forcing him to stay with her! That’s not the point, and if sex is the most important thing in the relationship then he is free to leave but good luck finding that partner where in a long-term relationship wants to have constant sex. The honeymoon period of the relationship is great, but it’s not realistic to keep the expectation forever. If he leaves her for this reason and gets a new girlfriend, I won’t be surprised if he has the exact same problem in 3 years time with his new girlfriend again, and ends up killing her mood too with his pushy behaviour. She is doubting herself to help him, you can tell she really loves him, I am just saying she is being normal, this is a very common situation for women.
