The .ml is a good indicator for crazy, but I think they have a point. Ireland is divided along religious lines, which makes the North side with the UK to a large extent. I know someone from NI, who is pretty happy about being part of the UK as well. Not a representative sample, but opened my eyes to the complexity of the divided Ireland.

Edit: feel free to elaborate how you saw things when living there, would be happy to hear more perspectives.

I believe the myth of Sisyphus is 100% an allegory of house work. “This person angered the gods (had children), so he was doomed to push this boulder up the hill (clean their shit) forever (until the kids grow up, which feels like forever)”.
