Out of the Blue

Shanah tovah to all who are observing Yom Kippur, which began at sundown last night. This is the Jewish day of atonement, and quite a solemn occasion. But at least I won't have to atone for forgetting this like I did Rosh Hashanah the other day.

My mishap yesterday made me aware that my cloud backup isn't working properly. Thankfully I had a local physical backup too. I've jumped through some hoops but still have some issue to overcome, as I can get OneDrive to spend an hour updating its backup, but it won't pick up anything more recent than two years ago. Googling "OneDrive sync problems" uncovers countless articles to theoretically help because this basic function seems to fail for lots of users. So it's not just me, it seems this is another of those things that Microsoft managed to Zune up. Wish me luck.

To answer your question as I understand it, no I don't wish death upon people for ignorant behavior. I accept that anyone can behave badly, and I recognize that some people make a habit of it. Do you really think that I would want them dead because my life would be easier?I'm not that self-centered. I didn't think that was a radical concept. I am not a doctor or a therapist, but you definitely seem to have serious anger issues to me my friend. Do I get angry at ignorant behavior? Not really. I shake my head and sullenly think, "yeah that's normal for most people now unfortunately", but I don't get angry. What's the point? Me getting angry just raises my blood pressure and puts me at a higher risk of another stroke, while it has a zero percent chance of fixing anything. If that makes me part of or even the majority of the problem, I don't know what to tell you. That's not my style.

"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
