Brenda: I am grateful too. Civilization is nice with all the electronics around that we can play with  Unless they decide to go wonky. |
| Brenda: Yup, and I can't stand it. I've said time and time again that I have no truck with their religion. But every so often it is trotted out and have to say leave alone. And I don't even have to luxury of swearing at them and trust me it is sooo very tempting. Well, here being I guess about 20years older than me probably makes her think that I should think like that. But no thank you. A friend of my mum's that these people knew tried that when I was a child. She found out the hard way it doesn't work with me. I know too much about the natural world and such to believe that. As my Blair used to say about me smarter than the average bear. |
| Brenda: Okay. I just didn't want to think that I had disrupted our nice conversation is all. |
| 6ixStringJack: I'm sure everyone had bad blood in their family at some point. I'm just kind of grateful that we've lived in such a relatively chill world compared to where or when we could have been born. Civilization is kind of nice, despite all the drawbacks and daily annoyances. |
| 6ixStringJack: Yeah, about the boss, right? I never had one that tried pushing God onto me myself, but then again I never had a job that seems as personal as yours does with them either. I've just been working the last 15 or so years on and off way below my abilities and that sets me up to have to eat a shit sandwich every night by a boss that is years younger than me. It usually works out... but the process can't be rushed and is such a chore every time I have to do it. |
| 6ixStringJack: Oh... No. Not at all, Brenda. I didn't think you came off as annoyed at all. Just kinda my thought processes at work is all. I don't mean to be dismissive of what other people believe by forcing my own dismissiveness of everything on anybody is all. You didn't do anything. |
| Brenda: I think a lot of people have some bad in their family tree. And freaking out about it isn't going to do anything about it either. |
| Brenda: Not asking you to find God or take what I think and believe as gospel. My boss certainly loves to do that to me enough. |
| Brenda: Sorry if I came across as annoyed. I didn't mean to. But I do get your point though. We all have our world view. And that is fine by me. |
| 6ixStringJack: And I'm infinitely less likely to believe anything that is going to make me feel bad about myself in any way. I'll leave that for people like Ben Affleck to freak out about when he found out his Great Grandpappy was some general for the South or something and tries to sue the TV show from airing the episode. You ain't got enough to worry about, Ben? What a charmed life you must have lived, buddy. |
| 6ixStringJack: That's not my intention, but I can't change the way I view things now. I can't even remember the last time that I actually believed any "factual" claim I've ever heard about any historical figure. It's all interesting to hear about and keep in mind, but I'm as likely to ever believe any of it as absolute truth as I am to suddenly find God and make my life all about religion. |
| 6ixStringJack: I thought a bit more about it, Brenda, and even considered the fact that you might actually be a little annoyed at my 50/50 thing when it comes to the "heroes" and "villains" I was taught about in history vs. how different everything is today. Because if I don't accept them as 100% factually existing at all in the first place, whether they were actually good, or whether they were actually bad, I'm not even recognizing then by extension the people that you believe existed and did what you believe they did too. |
| Brenda: I will try it later SIX. Thanks, |
| Brenda: Yeah, I understand. One of the stories of Custer was brought up from the US by my aunts and was probably the cause for the Little Big Horn. Another I read in a book purposefully written on my people. Another I just heard somewhere and I don't know if there is any truth in it. |
| Brenda: No worries. Like I said I know something happened but without telling me what it was I just don't remember. Like you said too long ago. |
| THG: Let's be honest here. As long as he is nice to you, that's all you care about. |
| THG: I've also said this; you are who you hang out with. |
| THG: Jack preaches hate. Just go to his, Holy shit... If any of this happens, things are about to change big time" thread. Don't say you're done with me. I've been said exactly that to you months ago. And I was very clear as to why. I post posts like this to call you on it as you pretend, he isn't a hate monger. |
6ixStringJack: I hope that works for you. Without seeing what you're seeing, I can't exactly visualize what you're explaining. If that doesn't work or the Night Light is already turned off, try a restart and see if that helps. If that doesn't do it, shut your computer down when you're finished tonight, unplug it from the wall and then take the battery out. Let it sit overnight and boot it again and see what happens. Sometimes doing stuff like this surprises you and just seems to work for no reason at all. Finger's crossed it's nothing.  |
| 6ixStringJack: But no, you don't have to go offline to change that setting. It won't interfere with that. You can just type "Night Light" without the quotes in your search bar down by the start button, and you should see the Night Light settings pop up. You can click on that and then you'll get the Settings window to pop up on the correct Night Light page and where it says "Show warmer colors on your display to help you sleep" you can click the button to the right of that and turn it off. If that fixes it but you still want the Night Light on at certan times, there looks to be a "Schedule" switch below that which should allow you to create a schedule to automatically turn the setting on or off whenever you wanted it to. |
