'I'm abrosexual - it took me 30 years to realise and friends made cruel remarks'
I'm abrosexual too. Took me till I was 54 for me to have a label for it. I thought the fluidness was just part of being bisexual (I didn't hear of bisexuality until I was a young adult).

@Vanessa That would be me for future reference (in the menu under information it has a lot of the server details and in there is a link to my profile as well as my email address)
If you look further down on that error message where it says HTTP 502 Bad Gateway it tells me the server might have been having issues at that point in time. In all honestly it's kinda unavoidable at the time due to resource constraints, sites currently on a rented dedicated server until I fix my housing situation (current ETA is late october when I can work on putting it back on my own, more stable, hardware again), so it probably was just having issues loading that page at that time.
There's not a lot I can do with troubleshooting clients, but let me know if it keeps having trouble and maybe I can work with you to find some answers?

in reply to Rabbit Cohen • • •I wonder if the problem is less stupidity more due to not being able to reason more than a couple of steps at once. Without practice, it becomes more mental effort than they are used to and so just skip any sanity checking. I think it's possible that the original video was intended as a prank to see how many people would fall for it, but we'll see in the indictments to follow.
It's an argument for teaching more math word problems, and computer programming. You may never use the math or programming, but your brain will be trained to break down complex problems.
