Why am I suddenly being blocked from certain websites?

Ugh, why is this happening? One minute I’m happily browsing, the next – BAM! – blocked. Seriously, it’s so frustrating! I was just trying to look up that recipe for Grandma Rose’s apple pie, you know, the one with the secret cinnamon-bourbon swirl? And then… nothing. Blocked. Like, what gives?!

Maybe it’s some security thing? I read somewhere that websites do that sometimes, flag you as suspicious or something. Which is crazy, because I’m totally not suspicious, I swear! I even have a password with, like, fourteen characters and a capital letter AND a number! Or maybe it’s because I’m in Ohio? I remember trying to access that British streaming service last year, and it wouldn’t let me because of “regional restrictions,” which is ridiculous. They’re all just shows, right? Why can’t I watch them?

Or, and this is terrifying to think about, is it my computer? I should probably clear my cache and cookies, right? I think I know how to do that… but honestly, last time I tried it took me like, half an hour and I almost deleted everything. It’s a real gamble, isn’t it? Maybe it’s simpler to just contact the website’s support team. Though, let’s be real, waiting on hold listening to elevator music for an hour… That sounds just about as appealing as eating day-old oatmeal.

So yeah, blocked websites. The bane of my existence, basically. If anyone has any miracle solutions, let me know. Because seriously, I need that apple pie recipe. Grandma Rose’s gonna be disappointed if I can’t make it for Thanksgiving.
