This might be  but I don't get people who whine about 'fall back'. You get to set your clock back an hour and gain sleep! That's a hell of a lot better than 'spring forward'.

One of the few aspects of summer I do like are the late sunsets.

Recently I got darker shades for my windows and it seemed to be helping a bit. Yesterday morning I woke up, looked at my clock and saw that it was 9:00. Woo-hoo! I got to sleep in and be lazy! Then I looked at my phone and saw it was 8:00. I was so disappointed.

Since we've got a DST sidebar going on, the US tried doing Daylight Savings year-round during the 1970s oil crisis. It was a popular move...during the summer months, with the late sunsets and so on. Then winter rolled back around and parents realized that the sun not rising until well after 8am meant they were going to put their kids out for the school bus in pitch blackness. It lasted barley a year. Which is why the Sunshine Protection Act is one of the dumbest and most short-sighted things to get bipartisan support in the current Congress.

marla's husband is smart. I remember doing something similar when I was a nanny, telling the parents the baby was soooo close to rolling over or walking. Baby somehow always managed to do first steps when I wasn't there but they were. remember, in Safe Havens, they could literally get rid of poverty and world hunger and all diseases but instead they will turn a dog into a cat into a lab assistant. for science. Shockwave had better loving ethics.

So, why didn't the schools just start an hour later? Does it really make more sense to shift the schedule of everything in the country than for one thing to pick a time that makes sense for it?

It's easy to assume a big part of it was because in the 1970s that "one thing" was made up of just shy of 20,000 individual school districts, each with their own school boards, superintendents, but also their own PTAs, who would be more than happy to give a school system blowback from personal disruptions to morning routines (because of that last thing Hwurmp just said). Anyway, reports of kids getting run over by cars at pre-dawn bus stops played a huge part in killing the experiment very quickly.

We Are Reproducing Bad Advice Theater  Timg’d for boob  Boring-unless-you’re-into-that-kind-of-thing language footnote: Kanji were imported into Japan from China comparatively recently and sort of “back-applied” to a lot of Japanese words (incidentally, quirks of Japanese writing like needing to use a couple different writing systems mashed together and having multiple ways to pronounce any given kanji are largely a consequence of the not-perfect fit of an ideographic writing system developed for a different language with different grammar). So “ridiculously complicated kanji for a very common object” instances like this likely happened because somebody 1000 years ago felt they had to find kanji to fit the existing Japanese word, ease of use be damned. In practice, “diaper” is never written using kanji.

Tom, Space Cadet is pretty decent. Rock solid gag and timing on the last strip there. Not looking forward to character assassination for Bets. Sure, being influencer crazy is a problem. Still not balancing that scale with all the bad sides we've seen of Gunther. Rip Haywire is competent but permanently locked in a comfort zone tied to dragging comics out to fill the year. It's never bad but I've stopped reading it too. I just realized with Holbrook, who I try to avoid reading but skimmed today. OK, so you can't kill anyone you know because that's murder and not preying on them, very significant difference totally provable either way, fine. Why don't herbivores ever kill in self defense? Cause I skimmed the strips and thought "it's really nice of them to take those wolves prisoner." I assume there's some stupid poo poo like "the magic bird people forbid guns" but you're telling me nobody carries a knife? Yeah yeah, the "heroes" are "good" except for that bone spitting fatality for the avatar of death rabbit child, el oh el.

And this isn't even getting into how loving stupid this entire scenario is. Mark saw Rusty going out the door and had all the time in the world to shout and demand where he's going in the middle of the night. And now he's making the excuse that time is of the essence as to why he didn't leave Cherry a note? Come the gently caress on.

Yeah yeah, the "heroes" are "good" except for that bone spitting fatality for the avatar of death rabbit child, el oh el. I also know there was a storyline early on where Kevin's sister was part of an extremist rabbit group. They were the "bad guys" because they wanted to kill predators themselves. But in retrospect, it reads more like Holbrook thinks second-class citizens rebelling against the hellscape status quo is evil. Someone ITT mentioned the Hellworld TTRPG before and how one of the lore details mentioned that the Birdlluminati messed with the DNA of prey species to make them not mad if predators kills and eats their family members so they won't seek revenge. I wouldn't be surprised if the Birdlluminati also added some gene bullshit where prey species never thinks that they can kill in self-defense.

For a short while someone was posting Mark Trail from the beginning. It wasn't hugely popular with the thread and maybe that's why they stopped, but I liked it. The biggest reason I liked it was that Cherry was a brassy lady who would actively participate in adventures along with Mark. The strip was sexist and outdated like anything from that era would be, but at least Cherry got to do things outside of arguing with the garden society lady about begonias or hat decorations or whatever. I feel like her first appearance was giving Mark the business because he attacked her pet bear.
