If I had been told at 15, when my GP told my mum to get me tested for Aspergers but she kept it secret from me, that I could be autistic, then I wouldn't have grown up hating myself. Life wouldn't have become a bed of roses, but I would have had self acceptance, better understanding of myself and not grown up hating myself for feeling like a useless failure who was just inherently dumb. Sure, the rest of the world and my family wouldn't have changed their behaviour towards me all that much, but I wouldn't have internalised all the criticism and condemnation as much.

Oh oh I know this one! Musk was an illegal immigrant who lives off government handouts while simultaneously stealing trump's job!

Andrea "you selected the audience" Jenkins. Professional victim. She makes me sick. These far right nutjobs love to play the victim, it's so pathetic.

Testing

UK figures from 2022: Deaths: 1,695 Serious injury: 28,101

But it's so normalised. Rarely newsworthy, it's so acceptable. I'm seeing more and more SUVs (Chelsea tractors) in London, the most ridiculously huge emotional support vehicles. Standing at the bus stop watching the cars go by, nearly all of them have just a driver, no passengers. We have good public transport in London, and I get there will always be some people for whom buses or bikes aren't an option, but I wish there was more of a move away from cars.

As a cyclist, some drivers (a minority, but even one is too much) will happily leave barely a few centimetres clearance when passing. Or get unnecessarily aggressive because there isn't room to overtake, even though there's a red light anyway, so why the rush? I swear, you stick someone in a car and suddenly other people's lives are expendable if it means shaving 3 seconds off their journey.

(Morons on modded ebikes - effectively unlicenced motorbikes really - are another gripe for another day. Red lights apply to you too, you muppets. And get off the frickin pavement.)

Not to worry, I figured out how to change my DNS to Cloudflare and it seems to be okay now.

No I'm just on my regular home WiFi. I only get that message on DDG. On Opera, where I'm logged in, I just get that weird version. I never had a problem with the domain before the upgrade. It works if I activate Opera's VPN. Well that sucks. Guess I'll just have to use web interface 😞

On my logged in browser I get a weird version of the site.

If I try the homepage on a different browser (DDG, no login):

If I try the status page I get:

Web page not available The web page at https://status.thelemmy.club/ could not be loaded because:

I haven't been able to access my account for several days now. Are other users able to get in?

Only half?

London is more like 60-80%.

I'm really confused what's going on. I'm able to see this post, but I can't access my account and can't access the site via web or the Connect app. Tried a different browser and I just get an error message.

It doesn't apply in my case. I'm a woman and I have a female friend (former coworker, she's moved back to NI now) who I can just pick up with where we left off. She forgot to install telegram for almost a year on her new phone so I had to text her to remind her I exist, and we just went back to chatting like nothing happened. I'm autistic and she's a bit weird, so I don't know if that affects anything. But we can go a few months without chatting and it doesn't matter. In my case, if someone is important/significant to me, then it doesn't matter if a few months go by. Same with the few relatives I get on with. If we're talking several years, then yeah, people change, grow, move on.
