    This stuff has been around forever

    Have you ever watched "Mad Men" and how they handled it, back in the 50/60s?

    I won't even talk about the "Houston in the 70/80's" stories.

    My Dad was a good man (never strayed from my Mom), but he was all in the middle of it and everything else.

    He spent half his time at the end of the night trying to be sober and getting his clients back home or to a hotel.

    I got queasy the other day trying to read it.

    But it was actually my bad. I changed "themes" in my browser, not realizing it would make many page backgrounds black by default. Of course I noticed it here first and thought that the site's "dark mode" had become the default and that it couldn't be modified.

    I left here thinking that I wouldn't be back any time soon. Then I went to Amazon and found their background was black too...

    Were you the guy who said "I hate dark mode" earlier?

    It may have been "dark mode annoys me" in the "Annoyance thread" in the Hangout

    ....I assume it's "none more black"?

    LOL, I had many an early evening when I would get a call from my dad who would need a ride home after he took "clients" out for an after-work drink or a 5-martini lunch.............but that was the 80`s

    Trying to type comments on a iPad in any forum or comments section. The iPad cant handle it and the pop up keyboard slows to a crawl and the typing delays. And, the iPad gets really hot so you know it’s a piece of sh t!

    Back up any pics/data, do a full reset, delete everything, start fresh.

    My opinion is it has more to do with advertising heavy websites causing page bloat and intensive scripts running for ads in the background. But, im sure there are a lot of factors that might help.

    PiHole on your home network and use Brave Browser instead of Opera on your iPad.

    Holy **** - 30 years of X and Molly use? I bet they are rough looking. I am guessing that their faces look like Carlton Fisk's old catchers glove.

    Yeah, bro. Add in smoking, alcohol, weed and other substances. This is a good approximation of your typical Gen-X at these things:

    People that pretend to be honorable, yet, support a pedophile and rapist, showing they lack real integrity.

    Integrity and honor are an all time time, not a sometimes thing.

    It is always the right time to do the right thing.

    Character Ethic vs Personality Ethic.

    What we're seeing in politics is a long time coming and exacerbated by corporate dollars being legalized in the US. We revere personality, looks, possessions over heart, good ethics and steadfast resolve.
