People get confused because the names are absurd and backwards. How is it “Daylight Saving” when you move the daylight towards the evening? Thats Daylight Spending if anything. We’re putting it where we can use more of it! Daylight Saving would be shifting away from the evening.

But also I don’t particularly care if clock noon matches solar noon. I don’t want to leave work in the dark, and it would be significantly easier to stay on DST year round than to force every business and employer to shift their hours forward so I don’t leave work in the dark.

100%, and this is my ultimate belief, I’m happy with either way as long as we stop fucking with the clocks

I’m curious how the question was asked, because I only believe that in one way, they don’t care about when voting in this election because they have no difference in positions on climate change. Because ask like anyone under the age of 30 and it’s one of their top concerns. For obvious reasons.

I’m with you, but I’m gonna be pedantic anyway: Daylight saving time is the summer time with more light in the evening. Standard time is the garbage one we’re about to switch back to where it gets dark super early.

I do believe the republicans are more evil, but I also think they’re a less competent evil that by being so comical provokes a lot of pushback.

The Republicans aim to do 100% evil and only manage to do 75%, the Democrats aim for 90% evil and succeed.

This broke something in me.

I absolutely despise the Associated Press and I hate that they have this air of legitimacy and neutrality given to them that they have done absolutely nothing to earn. They’re hardly distinguishable from Breitbart half the time and yet they’re treated as one of the most trustworthy outlets there is.

See also: Reuters.

no such qualification is made for the Israeli deaths

It’s pretty safe to assume that any adult Israeli killed is a member of the military. Both because the resistance just hasn’t killed many civilians, and because there are very few Israeli civilians, over 90% have served in the IDF.

See, I’m not above voting for the lesser Hitler. If I felt confident that Kamala would lead to solidly less-bad outcomes, I would go vote for her.

I fully agree, Trump president with Dem Congress is absolutely the least bad option

Give me suggestions for mobile games that don’t suck ass

Currently the only games on my phone are

Reigns: Her Majesty - Card based roguelike, you’re the Queen pick between decisions to balance the favor of different groups, progressing through a larger story over multiple lives. Sequel to Reigns which is also great.

Baba is You - Puzzle game, push words and objects around to change the rules of the world the puzzle is in to complete the puzzle.

Polytopia - What if Civ was so simple it wasn’t very fun

Pokémon GO - hillgasm

 

Hank Green is my problematic liberal fave, but holy shit dude went full “officer involved shooting” here. “As bombs continue to drop” come the fuck on man.

 

Was making coffee and considering throwing out my K-cup coffee maker because I almost exclusively use a French press now, and got curious what other people did

I’m sick and came to the doctor to get tested for covid, strep, and flu, since those are going around my work. I asked the doctor if I could get paxlovid if the covid test was positive, and he goes “Oh I don’t think you’d need it”

Motherfucker almost everyone who catches covid should be fucking taking it wtf is wrong with you. Oh I’m young and otherwise healthy? Yeah and I’d like to fucking stay that way thank you very much, and I’ll take any reduction in the chance of becoming permanently disabled.

Also of the medical professionals I saw today, they were only wearing surgical masks, not N95s and I can’t comprehend it. Why in the hell would you go into the room of a likely covid case not wearing an N95 are you insane?

I’m so fucking sick of being the only person in this entire town that’s actually worried about catching this disease, even the fucking doctors don’t care anymore. I work in a research facility attached to a hospital and when I go to the food court and shit at best like 1/25 people are wearing masks. In a hospital.

Thank you Mr Joe Brandon for ending the pandemic, you’ve truly cemented your place among history’s greatest killers.

My trough is empty and I need more slop

 

And the answer is…….

drumroll pleaseWhite South Africans!

You do not, in fact, “gotta hand it to him”

 

There was a matching George Washington one. The best time to raze Washington and Lee University to the ground was 1865, the second best time is now.
