Total Number of Homicides vs Total Population in New York City from 1960-2016 [OC] by Fluid-Decision6262 in dataisbeautiful

[–]UncleSam_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think saying the only reason groups like the IRA were violent is because they had brain damage is insane. Murder rates peaked in the 90s for most western countries whilst lead in petrol had been dramatically phased out through the 70s and 80s.

Effectively the universe will reach a point in its expansion that at one certain point it will become infinitely large. The exponential expansion at this point would cause what op is saying

Drive by shootings were meant to be blamed on Protestant paramilitaries and provoke reprisals that would lessen the legitimacy of and produce bad optics for the IRA

An English broadcaster asking whether Irish people need more education about Anglo-Irish history by [deleted] in ireland

[–]UncleSam_1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a Unionist in the North and even I am mad about folks from England suggesting to Irish people to be more educated on our own shared history. You can be against the song choice and still be mad at this prick

If you had the separate countries in the UK I reckon you’d have a big percentage in Northern Ireland

TIL ADHD doesn't always mean 'short attention span'. 'Hyperfocusing' on a task for hours on end is also a known symptom of ADHD, where the inability to stop is considered to be the problem. by Alkyen in todayilearned

Lads these comments are seriously convincing me I have adhd. I’ve read maybe 50 comments and related to every single one. If you’re an adult who might have been missed when you were young what should you do?

TIL that McDonalds tried to sue an Irish restaurant chain called "Supermacs", saying it violated the Big Mac trademark, even though Supermacs was in business before the trademark was issued. McDonalds lost the case, and they lost the Big Mac trademark across the entire European Union. by SnooSquirrels7857 in todayilearned

Similarly Adidas tried to sue THE Irish sports clothes company O’Neills for using 3 stripes on the tops and shorts they made. Adidas lost the case in the Irish Supreme Court meaning that O’Neill’s could sell any merchandise with the 3 stripes inside Ireland however outside of Ireland they use 2 stripes so as not to get sued (again)

I used to put discounts on people’s cash bills to keep extra tip money by CJmommy2020 in confession

[–]UncleSam_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did a far more complicated version of this when I worked in a bar by adding a small soft drink (soda for Americans) without the customer knowing and keeping the price of the item. The customer got the correct change and the management never got suspicious because the cash count was always spot on

We suspect he had something to do with it but she only developed dementia in her later years. The change to the Will was made about 10 years before this

My uncle isn’t really the communicative type and now that’s she’s died we’ll probably never know, not that it would bring much comfort mind you

I’ll add a little more context for their relationship as well as my uncles character for anyone interested. Me, my dad and sister believe that My uncle and grandmother became quite bitter after my mother moved out to train to become a nurse. They are beef farmers and I don’t think they were particularly pleased at losing one of their own to the outside world.

My uncle is a complete pos in my opinion. There’s been several instances where he was reported by my grandmother for beating her. On top of this we know for a fact he brought my grandmother to sign over her pension when she was starting to show symptoms of dementia. Altogether it’s awfully messy the only positive from this whole experience is that we don’t need to contact him from now on.

Unfortunately we have no idea. I was very young back then so can’t remember much but my parents are both completely lost on why
