If I had known the risk in 2004, I would have never taken Citalopram. It’s good to see that manufacturers have been adding the info to their leaflets (however obliquely it may be worded) following a 2019 recommendation by EMA.

But that’s not helping anyone affected by PSSD and honestly, with plenty of other options being available, the medication is just too unsafe to be sold at this point, IMHO.

“a pheasant”

What your doctor will not tell you is that for some people this side effect never goes away. Even after they stop taking the medication.

Fuck SSRIs.

Oh, and Ladies first is a principle that’s served me well, in bed and elsewhere.

No, for another license that will last me another seven years or however long their service period is. I think I actually have an LTSC license so it might be longer.

Pretending it is especially unusable, you mean? Hard agree. Absolute cringe. In fact, that was my entire point.

Nowhere did I write a glowing recommendation of Word as the superior word processing software of today. In fact, I acknowledged several times that there are other valid options out there.

And I’m getting mighty tired of this bad faith argumentation style.

For precise, intricate layouts I’ll take InDesign or Quark XPress any day. That said, it’s been a while since I last used those.

Again, I can fully understand if you like other tools better. More power to ya, competition is healthy and all that. But the complaints I specifically addressed are simply unfounded.

I’m not a fanboy nor do I get paid to defend Microsoft. But I have worked with Microsoft Office for 30 years now, and I do get paid to train people how to use it.

99% of users just don’t have the fuckingest clue how anything works in Word. Most can’t even tell a line break from a paragraph break and people still use their PC like a typewriter to indent text…in 2025 🙄

its fucking 2025 and we have incredible technology

Yes, and we can modify a VW beetle to turn it into a space ship but why would we?

PDF Xchange Editor is cool. Thanks to it I haven’t had a need for Adobe software on my PC in years.

My condolences. I’ve heard good things about LaTeX for scientific papers even though the UI seems a bit daunting.

Or maybe it’s because they were too stupid/lazy to Select All and set the text language to English? Even so, you can do that at any time as well.

Everyone complaining here about not being able to have unique footers or moving images or ignoring spelling errors just doesn’t know what they’re doing. You’re literally the bad workman blaming the tool. I can do all of those things in Word.

If you prefer another tool, fine. But please stop shitting on things just because you don’t understand them.

And PDF was never meant to be edited. Its sole purpose is to give you a document file which comes out exactly the same on computer screens and printers everywhere. Compact, reliable, compatible. If you need to replace parts of a PDF document post publication, it should be prepared using the Forms tools that are readily available in all good PDF suites.

By the way: I paid 30 Euros for an Office 2019 lifetime license. If ever that should not receive further updates then I’m ready to fork over another 30.

Hölle, selbst ich habe gerade beim Lesen so geguckt.
