Weird. I only seem to get AFib when I eat Chipotle.

This is obviously where this is going and it's a big part why they're obsessed with labeling people "groomers."

You can invest in foreign funds, but some of them are US currency hedged to help reduce the effect of the exchange rate(s) which will somewhat counter what you're trying to do. I don't know much about this, but keep it in mind when researching funds, especially foreign bond funds.

Giant hubs for industry with massive transportation to them, like an old Soviet city.

That's weird. Russians and Americans aren't sanctioned from working on projects together. The sanctions are mostly targeted towards industry and defense. Tucker Carlson works for Russian media and freely travels between the two countries. There has to be something more to this, like the IP came from a known state actor.

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.
