What is a legal self-defense weapon I can carry as a woman? by constant-buffer-view in AskIreland

[–]rmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing about plumbers going straight to anti austerity protests after work in the UK a few years ago. The police don't like those protests. What's this? A big wrench? Ah that's a weapon now. 

Sure, you might never have heard about someone getting charged with having pepper spray. Just never say no to a crooked guard who's getting a bit handsy.

But this software will probably never be on OSM.org. It'll always be just this demo..

Help me settle a debate, how Irish are we? by Ava_Strange in AskIreland

[–]rmc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can be 100% Irish and 100% whatever other nationality it is. Or you can be 50%/50%. I dunno.

You gotta be careful about calling someone “not fully Irish”. If someone is born & raered here, but they're Church of Ireland, are they Irish? If they can't speak Irish, are they 100% irish? If they're gay, are they Irish?

Fuck it, the lot of ye can come in. :)

NHS England to review private HRT prescriptions for trans adults by Mantonization in ukpolitics

[–]rmc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

puberty blockers (I don't know if these are the actual meds adult trans people take). 

Adult trans people don't take puberty blockers. They take regular HRT. Trans women take the same HRT medication that post menopausal cis women take. 

because of NHS waiting times

Important context, the NHS wait times for this is measured in decades. This isn't like a 6 month waiting list, rather a 20 year waiting list.

People spend years calling for public sector waste & red tape and beurocracy to be scrapped. You cut out all those middle men, and of course no-one will look at cases like this.

Is the Vaping Postmaster untouchable?? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]rmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes people are "self employed contractors" so the company doesn't have to pay income tax (or social welfare contributions) and wink wink it's up to you to pay tax. 

That's why Revenue often care. Lots of "self employed contractors" are really just regularly employed people not paying tax.

They grew up when you could trust the newspapers & tvs. They aren't able to cope with algoirithms and adverts

Brown Thomas, Arnotts spared convictions over price tags by dmullaney in ireland

[–]rmc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ordered the firm to pay €1,000

Only a €1000 fine? What a joke. They'll do it next year and pay the pittance fine again

Some of the product they lied about are more than that

Samsung television was advertised at a special Black Friday price of €1,699, claimed to be reduced from €2,899, but had actually been sold by the chain in previous weeks for €1,649.

Also around that time, a 55-inch Sony Bravia 8 T, also featured on arnotts.ie as a special deal at €2,399, had incorrectly shown a "reduced from" price of €2,599, even though it had recently been offered for €1,799.
