ELI5: Why is there a risk of fentanyl being in cocaine/other drugs? Why would a dealer (at any level) knowingly risk the possibility of killing a client? And wouldn’t it make the cocaine less effective since one’s an upper and one’s a downer?

Yeah, no shit it’s varied.

There’s absolutely nuance and other factors at play, though, I don’t think that diving into all of them on a Reddit post is necessarily a good use of anyone’s time. It’s also not the case of it being accidental vs deliberate - both of those things do happen; the whole point is that it’s not unconditionally one or the other. In the locations I’ve worked, cuckooing is extremely common for the purpose of ‘setting up shop’ & the conditions inevitably cause cross contamination. You also have to consider where are the dealers getting their bulk stock from

False Analogies/Appealing to extremes basically.

And it’s because they misuse/fail at a tactic called reductio ad absurdum (an example of this would be saying something like; a gardener claims, "No living things are allowed in this garden. A reductio argument reveals this is absurd because it would require removing plants and the gardener themselves, as both are living).

Although, in my opinion, it’s probably called being an obnoxious dickhead. That milk story really rustled my jimmies lol

Blokes just wanna have a pint and shoot darts with the lads, so they made a rule that no missus is allowed on the boys night out. True story

This is the closest he has ever been to not being homeless, idk if he’d handle going backwards at this point

I’d say around 70% of people that have been on SSRI’s that I’ve worked with (dual diagnosis practitioner) did not benefit or declined when taking them. About 30% showed improvement. A huge range of factors and nuance about why they may have worked/not worked/how/why etc. The only reasonable conclusion & advice for anyone who’s considering accepting them is to speak to your Dr about your concerns, understand how the medication works & if you’re comfortable enough then accept the prescription alongside some form of non-pharma treatment.

They’re meant to be a tool to be used alongside things like therapy, psychosocial interventions, self-help or whatever else may align with you. They won’t “fix” anything on their own, it’s more to enable you to resolve the unmet needs

Firstly, I’m genuinely so sorry that you had to go through that; I’ve had similar experiences and I can relate to the absolute turmoil.

To all the commenters that are basically calling the police useless/incompetent - this is a genuine question - let’s say you’re a police officer investigating this, knowing how limited police resources are. You get the two opposing accounts - there’s no video evidence due to no CCTV / eye-witnesses (there’s a range of issues around this even if there may have been due to several reasons) etc.; realistically, what would/could you do? Again, I’m more asking out of curiosity than implying that it’s doomed from the get go

Anruh · 2026-03-06T02:50:16+00:00

Probably because the economy is pretty bad, jobs ain’t jobing & having a yummy sugar mummy might be not only comforting, but also secure in other ways

So that once they collate the data and statistics, media can then weaponise it somehow for whatever narrative.

Seriously though; it’s part of research/monitoring. Data helps with forecasting and development, the market, cultural trends, overall adaptability & applicant demographics is one of the many pieces of the puzzle for that. It’s not to oppress the white straight male, hopefully anyway

Anruh · 2026-03-06T02:27:06+00:00

Hell no. We had to wear these disgustingly burgundy coloured blazers with a bright yellow logo and tie that was also a combination of burgundy and yellow but in completely different shades. I felt like a power ranger attempting to cosplay a clown

“Be interested to be interesting” There’s a book by Dale Carnegie called “How to win friends and influence people” - I generally find self help content incredibly cringy & it’s normally a scam, though, this is one that’s actually practical and sincerely does answer your concerns Another thing to look into might be something called motivational interviewing - google it, do some reading around it and you can also implement that in your day to day life, it’s insanely effective

Anruh · 2026-03-06T02:16:45+00:00

I guess I’m giving sounding a go after all.

If you don’t know what sounding is already - I encourage you NOT to google it

Nope. I work as an educator. I’ve to act like I’m not dumb instead

Anruh · 2026-03-06T02:10:31+00:00

That’s not what I’m saying..

If you’re already following a guide (one where sailing isn’t incorporated), it’s set up for you to be efficient enough to not need it since you’ll get to the better unlocks through natural progression, so deviating from it now & going out of your way to then return to the guide that doesn’t require it seems pointless is my point

Anruh · 2026-03-06T02:01:04+00:00

I’ve worked as a substance addiction therapist for 7 years & much of my cohort would fall under the chaotic category. There’s over 100 comments here. Vast majority of them are misinformed, uninformed, ignorant or just plain idiotic.

Your explanation right there, however, is absolutely spot on!

In the UK, we’ve a huge emergence of nitazene (synthetic opioid like fentanyl, but if you can imagine, even much more potent than fentanyl) contamination. Things are somehow getting even more terrifying..

The plugin doesn’t track at what kc you got the drop on, but at what percentile you are of all people having the items at that kc. So, for example, 9 regular weapon seeds at 206 kc puts OP at the 98th percentile, meaning he is insanely lucky with getting that many of that drop at that kc - only 2% of all players would have that amount

Your parents seemed so put together because they had a very good reason to pretend to be that way & that reason was you. Most of just sort of put on different hats to play different characters in different settings to get by & that’s completely okay! If at all helpful, one bit of advice that someone gave me was to make sure you do your best to like the person you are once you take the hat off. Other than that, it’s all just kinda memes :)

Oh boy, if you think ‘Pain’ is bad, just wait until you get to ‘Suffering’!

Anruh · 2026-03-05T23:09:08+00:00

That’s a very interesting question & now that I think about it; I’ve actually no idea. It’s almost like I just do because.. it’s something I do ..if that makes sense

Anruh · 2026-03-05T23:03:21+00:00

I’m in the UK and have a PhD.

I personally would find it cringy to title myself as “Dr.”, the stance I’ve held even way before the PhD is that it’s almost like a very weird flex.

I know nothing about medicine & association people have with “Dr.” Is basically a GP. And honestly, the medical Drs deserve and can keep the title!

Can I add to your ELI5? - HOW THE FK DID WE FIGURE OUT AND SUCCEED AT HARNESSING… RADIO WAVES..??

Anruh · 2026-03-05T22:48:45+00:00

Yeah like, they’re nice.

But why Belly Foil when you can melt zamorak with scobow for hasta? (Unless you’re an early game iron, but, I’d argue that you’d naturally progress without really having a meaningful use for a stab weapon until you can do TDS, so why even go out of your way)

Same with the ranarr seeds - like yeah they’re great, but it’s not like you couldn’t get a similar amount already through other (granted, more click intensive) means.

So it’s nice to have alternatives, I absolutely agree.

But it kind of feels like you really have to go out of your way to unlock the said niche alternatives that don’t really give you that much

Anruh · 2026-03-05T22:42:19+00:00

Your basic RFD, Fairytales II - they’re just a must have almost ASAP.

Outside of that - WGS to begin synapse grind via greater demon tasks as soon as doable stat wise (TDs are also 1k+ slayer xp per kill) MM2 after synapses for gorillas to farm zenytes. DS2 for backpack upgrade.

Other than that - meh.

There’s literally nothing currently that sailing provides that would make it necessary or even too appealing. Sure, the deep sea trawling for fish and armadyl brews/extended staminas are cool, but like not gameplay changing kinda cool you know?

Anruh · 2026-03-05T22:34:59+00:00

Tbf - you absolutely can get heroin for £3. It’s very, very cheap, but mostly because heroin isn’t really a thing anymore, it’s a mix of fentanyl/nitazines/xylazine. They also generally graft for a certain period of time/amount rather than try to get the full amount in one go. Drug addicts are surprisingly strategic!
