So I have to go get a brain MRI lol.

Don't worry it's not serious, this is prep for rTMS (wikipedia linked) - part of me has been kind of waiting for a brain MRI like? Oh that bastard up there? Hate him. LEMMIE LOOK AT IT. LET ME SEE THE BASTARD.

Anyway in today's dose of late stage capitalism/tech dystopia, I asked about the side effects (vaguely remember there's a seizure risk but it's a during treatment thing, so if they stop it stops) and the receptionist giving me the breakdown said it was low and generally very user friendly -

So much so in fact, that the US (I think she said it was the US army, not ours) army does it on their snipers to improve concentration! ... and there's also a clinic in Japan where you can go get it done before work ... to improve ... concentration.

Yeah you bet I stopped her right there with a: Oh wow ... you can really see what kind of world we live in with that one, huh. 💀

Uh anyway wish me luck that I fall in ... whatever success percentage they use currently (I swear to god it used to be 80% but now it's looking like 50-65% :/) and that the government foots a huge chunk of it because I was classed with treatment resistant depression about four medications ago (I'm on my 6th I think) and that the pay gap is within my family's budget because lmao I can't pay that ever
