Just recieved word that my grandmother has had a second stroke after three years.
The trip to hawaii next month would've been to support her. I do not know if she will live, or if I will still be allowed to go.I'm equally torn and my evening is ruined.

Try to communicate with her, even if it's by phone, message, letter, whatever shakes out the best for you. Don't leave stuff hanging/unfinished.

Julias posted:

That's awful Grouchio.
My sincere advice is that you talk with your parents and close siblings about it and what to do for her and for yourselves.

Homeless Friend posted:

Outside of what Julias said: Spend your evening contemplating what she means to you, good and bad, and how she has affected your life imo, if you haven't already. With family if you feel like it. Confronting the mortality of people you care about is painful but also can be freeing in that small space where you celebrate the influence of that persons life. Although maybe that sounds a bit too sappy. Best case she recovers and you do end up going to Hawaii you will have solidified the value of that short time you can spend with her.

Thank you everyone.
It was a mini-stroke it turns out. She's recovering in the hospital now. She will live.
(And my vacation is saved)

Julias posted:

That's good to hear. I still highly recommend you talk about it with others though and listen to what Wark and Homeless Friend had to say- consider this a heads up that a lot of people don't get.
...I only find this redundant because I had this exact same scenario in october 2017 when she had a serious stroke and I got similar advice. :v:
Since then grandma has been living far better thanks to my efforts.

Grandma finally woke up from her stroke and seizure. She'll be in rehab for her third stroke now. And her 86th birthday is next month.
No trip to Hawaii that's certain now. Guess I'll be heading for my ex-Colonel friend's house in Coronado instead.

Crybaby was one of the best anime of the decade; it is also impossible to rewatch from how it ends. I wouldn't call that bad.

Hoo boy the general fuckery in Iowa. Their trashy campaign app crashed and stopped all results coming in, and won't be fixed till tomorrow night!
And Buttgieg paid a dark money corp called SHADOW to make it. Then he declares victory with no official results out. So has everyone else.
Bernie has the most complete/precise results on hand, with him in the lead by 6% with 40% of precincts called.
We might not even have to have lovely Iowa caucuses anymore. Or first.

Well, if it's stressing you out, just turn off the primary results. Watch something else, go to sleep, and don't look to see what happened until you wake up. The drip-drip-drip of watching the votes come in can be maddening. (I still have ptsd from the nyt needle in 2016)

Good luck out there.
Thanks; we'll all need it after the youth failed to turn out and the elderly made it clear they still own this planet.

If you are following something to the point that it's wrecking your nerves/affecting your day-to-day in such a negative way, yeah, consider taking a break from it. Plenty of other things to try while you're not doing that one thing.

Im really trying to like Danganronpa but I think I have to accept that I will never enjoy any kind of death game themed anything. :smith:

I was giving it an honest try because my friend bought me the whole series on Steam back at Christmas (plus Date a Live, which I most likely wont ever play through either) because he found out I had finally got into anime and he loves VNs. I really didnt want him to feel like he wasted money but lord almighty I dont like this stuff. :(
This franchise may have literally helped drag my mental stability down the shitter in my College freshman year.
