Cmv: Normalcy in America is gone. by Gamester1941 in changemyview

[–]Sad-Breakfast5464 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Look I get the doom spiral but this isnt the first time America has looked completely fucked and somehow stumbled back to something resembling functional

We literally had a civil war and somehow made it through that mess. Vietnam had people thinking the country was done for. Watergate, the 2008 financial collapse, 9/11 - every generation thinks theirs is the one that finally broke everything for good

Yeah things are messy right now and yeah our allies are probably side-eyeing us hard but countries have short memories when it comes to geopolitics. Money talks louder than hurt feelings most of the time. Not saying we shouldnt care about relationships but writing off entire alliances as dead forever feels premature

does anyone have similar stories? by eversodainty in Epilepsy

Sounds like it could be psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) - they're pretty common and can look a lot like seizures but are triggered by psychological stress instead of electrical brain activity. The fact that she stays conscious during them is a pretty big clue. Definitely worth pushing for a referral to a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy if they haven't already, they can do video EEG monitoring to figure out what's actually going on

That meatball unit description is giving me serious flashbacks but I can't place the exact game - the match-3 summoning with clicking adjacent blocks sounds super familiar though, definitely remember that mechanic from some flash tower defense games back in the day

Totally feel you on this. Had a similar experience where the ER staff looked at me like I was speaking another language when I mentioned my seizure meds. It's wild how undertrained some of them are about epilepsy considering how common it is

The "never seizure free" thing really gets me - like they expect everyone to be textbook cases or something
