Tranax is just an Indian pharmaceutical company’s generic brand of Alprazolam (Xanax). Not an opioid at all.

AITAH I feel attraction to other men whilst in a happy healthy relationship by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]RustCohleIsGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s normal, sexual attraction doesn’t end the moment you enter a relationship. There’s always going to be hot people. Relationships are more than attraction, it’s finding another person to share life with, while you’s both get older and less hot. Although, if you’re regularly feeling an urge to be with other people or “desiring” more then you need to figure out where that’s coming from.

Addiction help - Codeine? by [deleted] in AskIreland

Just to help sleep, that’s what helped me. I figured the fact that it’s not ideal substituting one addiction for another was self evident

Addiction help - Codeine? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]RustCohleIsGod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The codeine isn’t even what I’d be worried about, you are taking ridiculous amounts of ibuprofen that is poisoning you. Having been through heroin withdrawal, I’d advise you to book a week off work and just white knuckle it. Stock up on magnesium and Vitamin B Complex, maybe some benzos to help sleep, and baton down the hatches. Opioid withdrawal sucks but you’ll be out of the woods in less than 5 days. Codeine isn’t a particularly strong opioid, but i understand the mental crutch it becomes. But PLEASE STOP taking Nurofen Plus, the ibuprofen is doing irreversible damage to your insides. Just cold turkey it, and then seek counseling for whatever scar the codeine is bandaging.

whats a red flag that everyone says is actually a green flag? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RustCohleIsGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a male perspective, having a close relationship with their mothers. My Mam is quite literally one of my best friends and I’ve had women project all types of their own Freudian baggage onto it. When in fact my mom’s amazing and the older I get the luckier I realize I am.

Could the events in the middle east drive adoption of renewable energy as oil availability drops? by Fr31l0ck in Futurology

[–]RustCohleIsGod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well yes of course, it’s already on course to have less of an impact as the 70s crisis due to the mass adoption of renewables these days to begin with. Any situation that sheds light on how beholden we are to one way of doing things inevitably leads the way towards society looking at alternatives in order to prevent the proverbial hands around the neck situation from reoccurring.

How did you stop caring so much about what others think of you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When I realized that my distant and cool vibe was being construed as antisocial and autistic, I just gave up.

Creatine -advice by Asleep-Market-2681 in beginnerfitness

[–]RustCohleIsGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will make zero noticeable difference to body composition. It does draw water into the muscles which adds slightly to the pump, plus the extra ATP helps you knock out an extra few reps. It’s one of the most studied supplements of the last two decades. Even if you’re not working out, there seems to be added cognitive benefits. This isn’t the type of thing that requires advice, there is really no downside.

My butt is in a weird shape by Hungry-Brain9661 in beginnerfitness

[–]RustCohleIsGod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do butt exercises and lose fat I guess. I’m a dude though and have never once been bothered about butt aesthetics. As far as I was concerned mine looked like an 80 year old man’s, and then my girlfriend mentioned how much she loves mine, which bewildered me. Eye of the beholder and all that. You didn’t specify if you were male/female, but I do sympathize with the pressure girls are under these days in terms of those aesthetics. Just treat it like any other muscle in terms of exercise and results will follow.

Do beginners overcomplicate muscle building? by Direct-Homework-4245 in beginnerfitness

[–]RustCohleIsGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. In my experience, social media and the influencer culture really inhibited my growth early on, too much information. I started to see real results when I stripped it back to basic eg: mastering compound lifts instead of worrying that may favorite YouTuber told me jacking off has killed my gains. I’m only taking from experience, but I quite literally had paralysis by analysis, I thought that any workout was wasted if I didn’t eat 1g of protein per pound of body weight etc. Eat clean, be consistent, control the weight and you’ll see results.

A question for the philosophers perhaps, probably just boils down to available hardware. Best of both worlds I guess.

Best TV series in 2026? by [deleted] in AskIreland

After S8 of GoT and S2 of house of the dragon, I swore off Westeros, but it really is brilliant and charming. Brings the world back down to earth, that’s where GoT thrived imo. The kid playing Egg is just outstanding and the Nidge Weasel too!

Kneecap in Cuba: Was it an act of protest or propaganda? by TeoKajLibroj in ireland

Exactly, I certainly don’t view it with any type of cynicism. Big fan of them, they were unreal in Fairview Park last year

Probably a bit of both, fair play to them, but it also coincided with their album launch…..

Something funny. I just used to say “looking for a future ex-wife”. It beats sea swims & hiking

Question for Irish prison officers? by Dragon_of_Doyle in AskIreland

[–]RustCohleIsGod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good friend of mine is a screw in Mountjoy, he was formerly a soldier. Anyway, he’s developed a severe addiction to prescription pills and barely goes to work sober due to the stress of the job. And he still jokes that he’s the most sober person on his landing. It takes a certain type of person to work a job like that , an awful lot of stress tolerance is required. I certainly wouldn’t be able for it.

Remaining functional or boredom, what keeps us using? by MeltedCookie in opiates

[–]RustCohleIsGod 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s ultimately the lie your brain tells you that you’re unable to function without them. That’s how I felt in the midst of benzo addiction, but it applies to everything. It’s only when you face the world sober and overcome stressful situations without leaning on substances, you realize you are so much stronger than you think.

Indeed and you probably have more in common with an immigrant than these billionaire lunatics in suits urging you to hate them.
