I listen to the same ~30 songs, over and over and over again.
I’m lost.
I’m angry.
And I’m armed.
They said anti-hero.
You hold the pencil and twirl the cassette around on it.
The alternative interpretation is that the second driver was doing 50, and honked at the first driver when they passed doing 70.
Also, they do respond to outside stimuli, otherwise they’d be completely inert.
Do they actually respond? Or is it the external stimuli responding to them?
I would pose that same question to you. Why do you feel it is important for the sun to come up at 3:30 in the morning? Why would you impose that absurdity on anyone?
Over here (NL) our default timezone is already one hour too early,
Then you have a completely different, localized problem, and you should fix that locally. The solution you are advocating is completely unsuitable outside of that localized area. You should change your time zone, so you don’t have this problem.
The sun moves through the sky at 15 degrees per hour. An ideal timezone is one hour, or 15-degrees wide. Solar noon is at 12:00pm (Winter Time) in the middle of that timezone. At the eastern end, solar noon occurs at 11:30AM, and at the west end, 12:30. If the longest day of summer is 16 hours of daylight, the western end of this timezone experiences sunrise at 4:30AM. But, the center of the timezone experiences sunrise at 4AM, and the eastern end of that same, idealized timezone experiences sunrise is an hour earlier: 3:30AM.
This is nucking futs. Landscapers and construction workers have to wait for noise ordinances to expire at 8:00AM, 4.5 hours after sunrise, just in time for the day to start getting hot.
For coordinating the activities of daylight-oriented workers with clock-oriented workers/students, winter time is terrible. But summer time is actually very reasonable. In summer time, (with idealized timezones):
The earliest possible sunrise (on a 16-hour summer day, east end of the time zone) is 4:30AM. (The west end of that timezone has sunrise at a more reasonable 5:30AM)
The latest possible sunrise (on an 8-hour winter day, west end of the time zone) is 9:30AM (The east end of that timezone experiences that sunrise at a more reasonable 8:30AM)
Earliest possible sunset is 4:30PM (east end of the zone, 8-hour winter day; with the west end experiencing it at 5:30PM)
Latest possible sunset is 9:30PM (west end of the zone, 16-hour summer day; the east end experiences that same sunset at 8:30PM)
None of these extremes are ideal, but none of them are completely ridiculous either. Year-round Summer time is simply the best alternative to the biannual time change.
Nah, it would be far less disruptive to stick with the time we already use for 3/4 of the year. Winter time is the problem.
Umm… There is one glaring flaw here:
3.4 million data points visualized from several data breaches.
We are only looking at the pin codes of people whose data has been compromised.
Winter SAD is caused primarily by the winter time change suddenly stealing the only hour of unallocated daylight we had for ourselves, and refusing to give it back for three months.
Lock the clocks on spring/summer/fall time; give Little Johnny a PT belt for his morning walk, and stop fucking over the entire planet with this time change nonsense.
My tiny dick thanks you for your consideration.
I reject your premise that “a job” is somehow a contribution to society, or that someone without one is a “negative”.
If you’re stuck with a capitalist mindset, go ahead and think of government as a corporation. The business model of USA, Inc (for example) is providing the infrastructure needs of businesses and consumers of the United States. Its various business units provide infrastructure essential to roads, rail, air, and sea transport. It provides last-resort arbitration in our courts; general security, both domestically and abroad; financial security to our banking and trading systems; and a whole host of services essential for business.
But here is the important part: We are shareholders of that corporation. The authority they have to provide those services is derived from our individual political power. Our governments are wielding the political power we invested in them to charge taxpayers for services rendered. Our governments owe each of us a return on that investment.
The unemployable person you are describing is a shareholder of their government, and is similarly owed a return. If he chooses to live off that return alone, that is his prerogative. But make no mistake: He is not “being a negative on society”. He is owed his share of his government’s “profits”, just as you are.
Trump’s gulf is between his ears.
Circadian rhythms aren’t based solely on the sun. They are also based on social and physical activity. Things they don’t get when sitting indoors for the entirety of their daylight hours.
Lack of sleep is primarily because they are not physically tired come bed time. They aren’t physically tired becauae they haven’t engaged in any physical activity all day. They’ve been obligated to sit indoors during daylight hours, and they don’t have daylight for outdoor evening activities.
Instead, they get to sit indoors, under artificial lighting and watching bright screens, both of which screw up their sleep schedules.
I think you can only be properly bi if you’re simultaneously railing a cishet female while being railed by a homosexual male.

You can’t make that round.
I mean, you could. You’d need three times as many contacts in the receptacle as pins in the plug. Each pin would have to be able to touch exactly 1 or 2 contacts simultaneously. Each receptacle contact would need to programmatically assign itself to perform the role expected for the particular pin it is touching at any given moment.
Pin 1 would start off touching Contact A. As you rotate it, it would connect to A and B. Keep rotating it, it drops A and touches B alone. Then BC. Then C. Then CD. Then D. Then DE, and so on.
Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it’s broken.
I bet this guy knows how to play Mario Kart.
I’ve found Jami from another comment a few hours ago, but I haven’t downloaded it yet. But I think it expects an existing internet/network connection, where Briar seems to be focused on getting messages across through any means available.
I’ve never used it, but I’ve heard of “Jami” that is supposed to operate in a similar fashion.
