If you're struggling with your mental health and in the UK you can call the Samaritans on 116 123, and you don't need to be suicidal to do so.
Left-leaning Non-Binary Cumbrian.
Be nice or be blocked.
I also block to protect my mental health.
Despite getting my first A1200 in late 1992 it's not a game I've encountered!

I'd need to get it on tape or 5.25" floppy to do so, or something else I have yet to work out...

Some may posit "better at spotting bullshit".

I can definitely see why GNC folks are seen as societal "canaries in the mine".

At least the canaries where given air after they appeared to succumb to the toxicity of their environments...

Is feeling a need to conform to artificial societal stereotypes of gendered behaviour when it is ego-dystonic an autistic trait, a gender variant trait, a combination of both, or just simply confirmation that stereotypes are just that. Stereotypes, generally true but not founded in hard fact.

"Many Autistics move away from interests because they’re made to feel they’re too old for them, or that it’s wrong to be passionate about an unusual topic."

The same is potentially true of those who may avoid interests because it doesn't align with societally expected gendered behaviours.

then it is likely outside of their control...

For the record I am not a fan of Exim..

Postfix, DMARC, DKIM, DNSSEC + DANE and SPF for the win imo...

Well at face value they have effective DMARC policies and publish an SPF record and their DNS records are DNSSEC enabled, but if there is a UTF8 lookalike domain in a non-english character set that is outside of their control, or if the recipient domain has the misfortune of running on outdated EXIM

A little over eight weeks worth at 14 units per week maximum recommended by the nhs!

And to think I used to drink that many units in one week at times...

Some Wasps may also get drunk on fallen fruit such as apples that has started fermenting, so it may not simply be a lack of sustenance.

Delusional & artificial perhaps, but I still believe class is an extant thing.

I am of course biased - not just by my brief time at private school - but also a holiday to Benidorm which I think definitely meets the criteria of a working-class holiday destination...
(and one I hope to go to again).
