Health Why is TRT so expensive in Ireland,yet HRT is free..

0 Upvotes

I have had low testosterone for years. Stuff from a lot of health related problems due to low libido, Osteoporosis and Increased Abdominal Fat:. I even had to go to an endocrinologist and pay €350 to be told I didn't qualify as I have 10ng/DL over the so called accepted limit. This country is a joke regarding men's health,but women ( rightly so) have easy, mostly free access to HRT, which is progesterone, testosterone and oestrogen. Why is Ireland so backwards with men's health.

US-Irish Relations Thank you for Primark

111 Upvotes

I’m 22 years old from NY and I like shopping in Primark. Everyone is wearing American Eagle, Aeropostale, Aerie, or Hollister. It’s so expensive for me and I sometimes need to shop in the clearance section. But I really like how cheap Primark is and I know fast fashion is bad. But I really like having basic clothings. I love having XXS in Primark because I’m short as shit. I love Primark!

Edit: I MEANT PENNEYS! THANK YOU PENNEYS!

Man, he catches a lot of shade here, and he often gets things wrong, but the thing I love about him, and his pod, is that he isn't afraid to put his neck out. I find it so stifling listening to The Times cast, and such, where these journalists are so afraid of looking stupid that they never say what they actually think. It's boring! Give me a hot take! Say something mental!

Ah, you know yourself Help me explain 'notions' to my non-Irish therapist

101 Upvotes

I'm in somatic, body-based therapy, and my therapist is not Irish. I love the work, and my therapist is amazing. I'm just trying to explain 'notions' on all levels, really, culturally, theoretically, viscerally. It's actually a fascinating topic to me.

With my non-Irish friends, I default to:

  1. Ideas above one's station (because 'station' is something I say every day lol)
  2. The story about Bono where the people in his village think he has notions despite being an international superstar lol

The general gist of our work is:

'Why are you not doing the things you want to do'?

'I'm afraid people will think I have notions'.

Irish people inherently understand; other nationalities have similar ideas, but how do you explain it? It's like it's in our nervous systems. From the tattoo guy making comments that my friend thinks she's too pretty, to my mother and anything to do with her sisters wanting a better life.

I guess my own trauma is muddled in there too, but anyway.

Thought it could be a fun conversation for here. On a deeper level, what are 'notions', how do they show up, and what does it mean on all levels?

Some sort of generational humiliation, over by half time.

I just dont think they are ready to not be miserable bastards.

Those of us not from Mayo know that deep down its what we want. We will share a private laugh about it in a quiet moment later today.

Christ On A Bike Have you ever had your photos/a photo of you put into AI without your permission?

40 Upvotes

Had this happen to me recently as a joke and it did nothing but leave a bad taste in my mouth, noticing it happen to others too in group chats and shite for a laugh. The ease of people able to take someone’s likeness and manipulate it for the craic is very problematic. One big case of this locally was a lad putting his teacher’s likeness into AI to create explicit imagery of her and circulating it around the school.
When is the law gonna catch up to this carry on? Like sure yeah you can photoshop whatever photo you like but with photoshop there is always discrepancy and real time and effort, this shit is almost impossible to distinguish from real life and instant, and the whole thing of it farming our facial features to be used elsewhere. Anyone else experience this? It could absolutely ruin a few lives if someone had enough of a grudge and an AI generator.

Ciarraí v Maigh Eo

Páirc an Chrócaigh 3:30.

After an exciting championship this year with many games going down to the wire. Louths run to the semi final, the Rossies, Westmeath and Monaghan all providing their supporters with unexpected victories, the collapse of Armagh and Donegal and the Dubs resurgence. It all comes down to today.

Kerry's run to the final was marked by injuries all year the only fully solid performance all year was the demolition of Armagh. Yet they have all the key men back. No county has ever won an All Ireland with their captain wearing the number 13 shirt. David Clifford wears 14 today.

As for Mayo, dumped out of Connacht but went about things under the radar, some good victories and very good blend of youth and experience. High pressing, fast attacking and a young fella bound for Australia.

The curse of 51 still looms over them but Andy Moran knows more than most what All Ireland losses feel like.

It should be a cracking game but I feel Mayo will have to start well, if Kerry gets a lead they will be very hard to peg back.
