Firefox with ublock works too. I've never seen a reddit ad in my life, even on mobile.

I could deal with the aesthetics if they kept the core function of old.reddit. But they didn't. I see "trending" posts more than I see posts from subs I have joined and that's what eventually has driven me from the site. Every time I log in, it's whack a mole with random bot repost subs.

The part that turned me off is it is a complete rip off of Humankind, which was okay but got stale for me pretty quick.

It's a very simple UI but it works great.

This is all incorrect. They administer light anesthesia, like a colonoscopy. They titrate the voltage to least intense to still provoke a seizure. They administer meds to lower the seizure threshold so they can use less voltage.

Some patients experience pain afterward, and they usually stop treatment if it is bad enough. Some patients experience symptom relief and continue treatment. Some get neither and they stop treatment because it is ineffective. Consent is always obtained from the patient or a guardian.

ECT isn't the same experimental procedure it was in the mid 20th century. Patient advocacy laws and psychiatry specific laws passed in response to the media exposed of the asylum system in the 80s (I think?) have provided a lot of protection from the scenarios you're describing.

It has to do with the app used. I think it will work with web player and maybe the windows app, but it won't work on Android/iOS.

I've been waiting for this moment for like 8+ years though. I'll just switch when it becomes more obvious.

It took me 45 mins at the social security office to get a new one. It ain't that serious
