Yes, it's the Wacky Tobaccy that the kids are puffing nowadays. It was all downhill once they started doing the Charleston and listening to that devil music.

It’s seems counter intuitive but it appears that gun ownership % is positively correlated to gun-related deaths per capital.

>Also you can apparently pay to “Become a Lord or Lady” by buying a presumed title for prices like £195. Not sure its very legally binding, but this seems like a cheap route

Yes, and you can also have bridges and stars named after you, too. All of them are scams.

Ok, double the crime in the US, and this still stands!we have more guns and more gun deaths than we need.

Now you listen here son, the grass makes kids violent!

It is recalling the previous day's gifts, so you know just how amazing their true love is. If you didn't repeat them on subsequent days, no one would remember the pear tree by day 12.

>The least expensive that I could find was the white mute at $3,083 each with free shipping.

Not sure who your swan guy is, but if you get me $78,750, I'll get you 42 swans.

According to your findings, there is 2x the amount of property and violent crime (combined) in Canada vs US. I'll grant Canada could surprise me and be higher. But 2x?

If I presented this to a professional audience (which I do for a living) there would some serious skepticism from the audience. Not buying this analysis without some real explanations about the reliability of data sources, timings (3 yr diff), and so on.

You might be thinking of firearm related crime and homicide rates, which is a stat often used because it paints a different picture than overall crime rates.

I have been wondering for a long time (about 9 months now, ever since I saw the post!) what type of map projection was used in this particular post: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/tpq3bz/oc_global_wealth_inequality_in_2021_visualized_by/

I tried to look up map projections online, browsed through the list on Wikipedia and other websites, but none of them look exactly like this one. Can anyone tell me what type of projection this is?

LOLOL! What century are you from?

I don't know, do you have ideas?

But, the potency of Marijuana, has skyrocketed off the charts? Millions of kids now addicted to Marijuana, with pot legalization. 10% of users get addicted. Seems like that's the plan.

Addiction = Profit.

But, I will say hunting is Big Business in America, too. Is it around the globe?

Buying a good hunting rifle for hunting, and an AK just to have an AK.

I was surprised as well. But as I thought about it it made sense. I was in lots of fights as a kid. In vancouver or homeless population , and thus petty theft is out of control. We also might report things more often. It's not that hard to believe.

I do hear it's difficult to get in. But once you do you'll be surprised how much you enjoy it

You’ve clearly never been

Your conclusion sounds more like an assumption so far. Why not look and see if that's actually the case?

The assault rate in Canada is reportedly 575 vs. 246 in the US per 100,000.

Burglary is 438 in Canada vs. 376 for the US.

There could be differences in the way metrics are aggregated, but I don't think the conclusion that they are "very much not equivalent" is founded just because the numbers surprised you.

Yes, which is why you need to clean up datasets until you have two comparable ones, if you want to compare countries.

One example often posted is "OMG the UK has so much knife crime! It's more dangerous than the US!" Because UK knife crime is mostly the crime of having a knife in a public place (in your pocket or in your car) without good reason.

If you count only knife injuries and murders, then the countries are pretty similar - only the US has gun injuries and deaths too.

Someone should really make a symbol just for this.

Could it be that final crimes resulting in death are counted as homicides? It's really hard to know what this data represents without seeing how the underlying data is formatted.

I don’t mind displaying that to give the reader some idea of potential bias and ‘context’.

In this case, it provides evidence that Canada does NOT under-report “gun-related” crimes given that it likely has more rigorous documentation (or better sources).

Realistically, if I was making a PowerPoint for some stakeholders, that would be a footnote / back-end appendix.

We love those little floofs… so yeah, what debate?

The US government basically bought the company and then sold it in 2010.
