FlyingSquid , in Conservationists try to protect ecologically rich Alabama delta from development, climate change

The former? Possible and I hope they achieve it.

The latter? Way too late.

I was curious how scientology could harass companies into bankruptcy since that seemed like harassment. I couldn’t turn up anything other than this article by searching for the companies names’ and lawsuit or scientology.

It looks like there is a lobbying organization, Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR), funded by the church of scientology. They look to be funding lawsuits brought by individuals against the ECT device makers. The lawsuits against electronic therapy look to go back to the late 1960s.

This web page looks to be an anti-ECT propaganda page, but it covers their “victory” of bankrupting another ECT manufacturer and it covers their methodology for targeting them and for trying to get the practice banned. Although it is all likely BS, it’s very clear on what their intentions are, so it’s very informative reading even if it is propaganda.

I don’t know enough about ECT to make any kind of informed decision on it, though I do generally trust moderm medicine as a whole. I was more interested in the legal process as it relates to the shared article, so take this as some threads to follow if you want to dive deeper than this article, not as me making any personal stance on ECT, since I know next to nothing about it.

Wow, that is really a terrible shame. ECT saved my grandfather’s life. We were all nervous about it because of the bad marketing and myths out there (which in retrospect are likely perpetrated by scientology).

It was an overnight change after years of failed treatments. We had our Pop-Pop back.

I’m not OP, but it’s typically used to treat severe depression.

These studies and articles are so silly, it’s always “animals and plants are smart, who would have thought!”

Etterra , in Olympians are turning to OnlyFans to fund dreams as they face a 'broken' finance system

It’s not a ‘broken’ system - it’s a broken system. You don’t need the quotes when it’s factual.

It’s ok to use quotes when quoting someone.

Imagine throwing a tantrum over something this trivial.

Imagine not understanding when someone’s making a joke

If you have to tell people you were joking, then it wasn’t a good joke.

Well, your joke wasn’t funny.

corsicanguppy ,

As per many style guides, the quotes in classic news-media are used to indicate they’re quoting someone and it’s not the copy-writer’s opinion.

peopleproblems , in Scientology is on the brink of killing an entire medical industry

This is low-hanging fruit for scientology because they actually paint it as scary.

Scientology’s “war on psychiatry” is an accurate description because it’s not that they do not believe in it - they believe its effects are evil. As in, yes, you should have to suffer with depression, and schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders. And then you treat it by joining their church where they basically institutionalize you the same way it was done prior to modern psychiatry.
