'Interesting' that you don't seem to have any trouble getting on this site...
You should have just fishpie help you. Your "site can't be reached" problem is DNS related and I'm sure he could have guided you through fixing it ages ago if you weren't so angry about a man helping you.
Wrong again. I love PEOPLE who are helpful. Fishpi wasn't being helpful. He thought it was hilarious. I did all the things he suggested, which I knew about anyway. It doesn't matter what browser I use either. He didn't say anything about DNS, so perhaps you know more than he does.
Oh, he seemed to be off to the right start, I guess I didn't really follow the whole convo.
If you do what this video shows, your problem will probsably just go away, assuming you are on Windows computer.

You're missing the real point. The people who want to have the rigid definition need it, they want to have control over the concept and to be able to say that their own opinion is true and every conflicting one is false.
To be able to do that, you have to be able to define. If you accept that no complete defenition is possible, you automatically have to accept what is entailed by that - there will be grey area and ambiguity.
Trump wants to have a definition of womanhood because he wants to determine that people who aren't in agreement with him are wrong, mentally retarded, and slaves to an evil ideology.
Okay
So the real question is which end of that discussion are you really at? You often imply that you are ok with ambiguity and everyone having their own reality, but if you are, that places you at odds with Trump in a way that you kind of didn't seem to notice for yourself.
Okay.

Okay.
So instead of climbing on your high horse and accusing Flannel Jebus of delivering a "ridiculous argument" way back on page 2 of this thread, you should probably have given it an extra mulling over because he's quite smart, the argument he presented was a valid criticism, and it would be useful for you to realise that.

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to have worked either. This is the only site I have a problem with. Perhaps Atto was right about the IT guy being told to hijack my connection. Did you know that video is really blurry and unpleasant to watch?

I suppose the only thing left is a VPN but if they really don't want me on here then why wouldn't they just have banned me?

Thanks, but that hasn't worked either. This is the only site I have a problem with. Perhaps Atto was right about the IT guy being told to hijack my connection. Did you know that video is really blurry and unpleasant to watch?

I suppose the only thing left is a VPN but if they really don't want me on here then why wouldn't they just have banned me for life?
I only gave the video a quick glance to make sure it set the right thing the right way and I woulddn't get shouted at. It seemed fine.
I've seen you have weird problems with other sites. You insisted to me once that it was quite impossible for you to open an article on Rolling Stone without subscribing, and you were absolutely 100% wrong, all you needed to do was click an X. And I've seen you and only you have a similar problem at tiktok for a video that works absolutely fine and all you have to do to access it is a simple image dragging game to show the site you aren't a bot.
Nobody is going to spend actual engineering time to pick on you, but a VPN might well sort out whatever your routing problem is. Speaking of which... Nobody has put parental controls on your computer have they?

You just can't help yourself. I changed the DNS server to what you said and followed the video so I don't know why you're bringing up other old stuff. I have no interest in TikTok and I'm not familiar with how it works. And that 'x' was NOT obvious on that Rolling Stone article. There are many sites where you have to subscribe in order to read articles. Why are men such know-it-alls, especially when it comes to computers? Patronising gits. I can fix most things without help. Not everyone's a nerd. Some people like to stretch their limbs and do other stuff

I'm merely correcting the untrue assertion that this is a one-off thing. You are the person who most often claims internet things don't work when nobody else has a problem with them.
It wasn't an idle question to mock you for being geriatric. Does anybody else have control of your computer and might they have set parental controls on it?
If you open up a powershell window (just go start and type "powershell") Paste these lookup commands into it...
Test-NetConnection forum.philosophynow.org
curl forum.philosophynow.org
Get-DnsClientCache | where entry -like "*philosophynow*"
Get-NetIPConfiguration
You can safely paste the output here, none of them will return anything that can be used to hack you.
edit: maybe take out the wifi network name from the netIpConfig - somebody weird could try something silly with that.
The forum will completely mangle the responses if you paste them in the raw, but it should be fine if you place them inside the </> code blocks.
Returns should look like something like this

I've seen plenty of other people on here saying they can't click on links, see things etc. It's par for the course with computers.
And yes, I am allowed to have control of my own computer in the maxumum security, geriatric dementia unit where I'm housed (when they remove my strait jacket and have the hounds secured)

Maybe just run a speedtest..see what actual bandwidth Veg is working with..
Veg told me all other sites were fine, just this one being the issue. Anyway, atto is in a steamy tropical paradise with better things to do than worry about some old battlexe in NZ with compoooter problems..

Don't know who that is but I'm ahead of you there. Already did it. Speed is good. And no one asked you, arsehole.
ps, if your basement is all steamy then you should think about open the rusted shut louvres.

But you don't know that. It's been awfully quiet around here in case you hadn't noticed. There's a reason for everything. I just haven't been able to logic it out yet. If it's really only me then that only points to one thing, or two at a stretch.

Do you ever call men on here 'old' as an insult? You aren't much younger than me. In fact I was really surprised at your actual age because I'd always assumed you were really young going by the way you are always disparaging me as 'old'. F U basement dweller.
