In my small town, we only had 4g lte, but it was quick. That is until 2 months ago, they 'updated the towers' to give us 5g... except now nothing works. My phone shows 5g but I have zero bars and zero service. When I switch phone to lte, it'll show full bars but has zero service. It often completely drops to SOS mode. It's ridiculous. Several people in town have contacted Verizon and the FCC and Verizon's official response has been, "we are aware that service is not optimal in this area, but we currently have no plans to fix it. If you are unhappy with our coverage, we encourage you to switch providers." It's infuriating. They've "updated" the town's service from LTE to broken 5G/nothing at all and said "yeah what're you gonna do about it, leave if you don't like it" knowing that their tower is the only tower in the area.

I once got banned from some random sub for commenting in r/conservative. I responded to the mods like "tf? I'm a leftist, I'm debating with the conservatives" and got a response from the mod saying "yeah whatever you're wasting your time and you sound like an idiot. Bye."

I don't mind YouTube shorts usually, although my TikTok feed is far better. But last week, my YouTube app started opening to the shorts tab. Infuriating. I'll watch a short if it piques my interest, but that's not what I'm going to YouTube for.

I'll look into that. Thanks for the info!

Yikes. Well, at least they were caught. I'm sorry you went through that.

Long story short, for the last 5 years or so, generally since becoming an adult, I've been feeling foggy, with loose memory (I can't remember a verbal list of more than 3 things for the life of me; grasping for words; etc.), noticed I have a tendency to obsess over new hobbies, inability to do things that need done, general depressive thoughts, etc.

I mentioned to my primary care doctor in a recent visit that I wanted to talk about a possible ADHD diagnosis. The conversation went essentially like this.

"I want to talk about a possible diagnosis of ADHD, or autism, or something of that ilk. I know this isn't really your area of expertise but I don't know where else to go."

"No, it is actually. Did you have trouble at school as a kid?"

"No"

"Are you able to complete your tasks at work?"

"Yes, for the most part"

"Ok, so for adult ADHD I generally recommend just lifestyle changes. Do you drink coffee? Caffeine has been shown to help."

After suggesting I drink coffee she ended the conversation and moved on to review some other unrelated concerns I'd brought.

Does this sound like a reasonable conversation? How did the conversation go with your doctors when you first brought up the possibility of ADHD? I feel like I was completely written off. She never asked about why I was asking about an ADHD diagnosis. I just feel like after gaining the courage to speak with my doctor about something that seems intimate to me, I was just ignored.

Yuck. I'm sorry that happened to you. Were they caught/reported/punished in any way?

Oh man that's creepy. Maybe someone just saw a spider or something? It sucks that our minds always go straight to the worst possible reality, like one in which it was the result of a murder haha.

I'll give it until the end of June. By that point, anyone who was going to leave reddit will have left, and new users will come more organically. At that point, the rexxitors will do what redditors do best, which is gatekeep.

Same here - I was never an active poster, but I love commenting! Must have something to do with our personalities.

Same here. I've been using old.reddit with RES and apollo for so long that I forgot reddit even had ads until I tried the official app.
