Without Internet I'm Dead (swg-empire.de)

Our internet went down an hour ago and I have to contend with the crappy metered connection in my phone. Really strange feeling how isolated I suddenly am. Took a while until all my family member's phones switched from wifi to mobile.

My laptop, which is my usual connection to the world, is still out. Guess I'll open up a hotspot. Until all my data is gone.

Very humbling.

I hope you'll be okay! Maybe you can brainstorm some other solutions to have ready for the next time it happens, to keep you busy? Perhaps some magazines since they're not too heavy and tend to be light in content as well.

Is there anyone you can call for a chat? Five minutes or so would probably help your mood if you are up to it.

Chronic Illness

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.
