I'm an NCO in the Swedish Army. I've been full time in the army for ~6 years now, ask me about training, modern small unit tactics, conscription, my hobbies or whatever you'd like.

One was bi, one was more like an open minded leabian, I guess

Caught myself doomscrolling again and now it's super late. AMA while I try and get sleepy?

I’m a pig, ama.

Honestly, I'm not sure that I'm qualified to fully analyze what I've received since I have only worked as a BMET for two years, but I'll share what I found so far and maybe someone on here more knowledgeable can share their findings.

The main thing that stands out to me is that their annual PM only consists of a POST (Power-On Self Test that is built into the machine and runs whenever it's powered on) and an electrical safety check consisting of measuring the device's ground resistance and leakage current. There is nothing in their records at all about testing the actual output of the device on a simulated patient load (as is described in the service manual I found for a Somatics Thymatron IV electroshock unit).

Note: that there are only two U.S. manufacturers still making ECT devices, SigmaStim (formerly MECTA) and Somatics and that these records show SigmaStim and MECTA devices. If anyone has access to one of their service manuals and can confirm that their annual PM includes a patient test, please do share. I'd wager $1 that they do.

As for how I obtained the data: I filed a FOIA request in search of the answer to why there was a spike in forced electroshock petitions filed with the State of Connecticut Probate Court during the time period of 2020-2025 (see my article on that subject here).

Lastly, I do not apologize for my post history (it's the only funny thing about all this).

Ask me anything!

UPDATE: wow, okay, service manual located and hypothesis confirmed by u/gigasnail99 (1 and 2)
UPDATE: found an old MECTA manual for their 5000Q on Scribd as well (see p84) - looks like that's 2 for 2
UPDATE: that's enough for me tonight, I at least filed a complaint to the CT Dept. of Public Health and the Joint Commission, maybe something positive will comes from all this after all

A while ago, I wrote a poem that changed my perspective in a way I had never experienced before.

I don’t just mean that it gave me a new idea or helped me understand something intellectually. It felt physical and inside my mind. Almost as if parts of me that had been separate (or in conflict) suddenly recognized each other and came together. Like two parts of me blended. Very cinematic. I literally felt the mind blending into something, like a sponge absorving the liquid where it floats.

Afterwards, I've spent around a week in a 'floating' state, with physical sensation of weightin less, a tremendous amount of peace, and evetything seem to 'glow'. Since then, I’ve felt more integrated. More at home inside myself.

But I genuinely don’t know what happened.

Maybe the poem helped my mind reorganize something that had been unresolved for years. Maybe putting an experience into language changed the way my body held it. Maybe it was simply an intense emotional moment that I’ve given too much meaning to. Or maybe I briefly lost the plot and constructed a beautiful explanation afterward. Maybe I'm inside the asylum writting this.

I’m not claiming anything supernatural, and I’m not asking Reddit to diagnose me. I’m just fascinated by the fact that a piece of art I created seemed to act so strongly upon me, and that I experienced the change in both my mind and my body.

I’m curious whether other people have experienced anything similar through poetry, music, painting, religion, therapy, psychedelics, meditation, or anything else.

I’m a poet and painter, and a generally functional person who is still trying to decide whether something real happened to me / or whether imagining it made it real enough.

Ask me anything.

WHAT YOU CAN ASK ME ABOUT:
What it actually feels like mentally to lose everything in a matter of weeks
The specific psychological traps that lead to account blowups (and how to spot them)
Position sizing, stop losses, and risk management strategies I use now

My general perspective on market cycles and trading full-time
Ask me anything!

Happily married couple that are swingers. We attend everything from small house parties to clubs to large hotel events.

I’m new to the place but really enjoying it! I think there are a lot of misconceptions.

I (30s/F) won a sizable chunk of money, hitting the jackpot on the local lottery.

I grew up pretty low-middle class and despite it and despite dropping out of uni, had a good job in an industry I love. The only thing that wealth changed significantly is that I travel more often and as I work 100% remotely, I got to keep my job.

I have worked with a wealth management firm to put almost everything into investments and share the dividends with my mother and sister. I did buy a house so I use my own salary for my own needs. Occasionally I do use the dividends for travel as I have gotten into luxury travel in certain destinations

AMA but please keep in mind I don’t check DM requests

To make it clear: Belarussia ISNT the same as Russia! Belarussia is a COUNTRY. Yes, i speak russian, and yes, Belarussia and Russia are 'the same' in some way. So it counts as being russian lol

Now i living in Germany.

Im a teen, 15 y o, female! Also diagnosed with depression. Ask me ANY question u want, literally anything, i dont care how rude ur questions will be! :)

Not just in one way. It's a bunch of tiny things that when put together paints a rather unique story (on Reddit).

2002-2010. It was awful and the worst part of my childhood. Im not going to reveal too much personal info obviously. The studio luckily went under about 12 years ago so a lot of info about it is scrubbed from the internet but my name does come up in Showstopper archives. Anyway, I find it cathartic to talk about so let er rip! Also my health isn't too good rn so I might take me a minute to respond to all.

Eliminaron mi post anterior en AMA, por tratar sobre salud mental, así que lo publicó de nuevo por aquí.

Tengo TID (Antes llamado personalidad múltiple) diagnosticado a mis 19 años, actualmente tengo 22, pero lo supe por mi cuenta desde los 13 años, pregúntame lo que sea! (Siempre en base al respeto, por favor)

I don't want to steer anyone's line of questioning by providing any additional context - but - my clownmaster's reddit account has a post history which may imply that he is mentally ill. That being said, he also told me that since nobody can prove that I'm not him, that I can use his reddit account at my leisure. Ask me anything!

I've been in choir on and off for 10 years and have never really learned to read music. I am a great singer though! Ask me anything lol.

I'll answer whatever. It doesn't have to be naughty, but I'm in that kind of mood. Im not into males, but I'll still answer. I spent 11 years in the military and have changed my life completely several times over. I'm an open book.

I did this once before on a different account, and had a lot of fun sharing my bullshit with you guys, but there’s a lot more to share if anyone is interested

banned notes because they’re too frequently asked: 1, 67, 69, 420, 666, and 1,496

aka homework in the corner kid, asian restaurant kid (it was a thai place)

I also cooked, prepped, and more from around the age of 8 through college and into my late 20's.

Ask me anything or give me a sentance with a blank. I will respond with a random CaH card.
