Fall Back, I say: Get an extra hour of sleep. Oh no, it's dark: We have these things called "lights" now-- they make it so it's not dark. If you're cold, there's this weird thing you put over your body called a "sweater," or you can crawl into a dead horse, whichever comes first, brosef.

This time of year does not depress me as much as piss me off. Why? Because driving to work either people (obliviously or intentionally) have their hi-beams on in oncoming lanes, or they have trucks with the bulbs so high up, possibly with those laser-like LED bulbs. Regarding the latter, I often flash my beams to try to get them to turn off their beams, and then they give me a sunburn when they turn on their real beams.

Too dark? I say how about some regulations about how bright a headlight can be.

the decreasing of daylight happens no matter what the clocks are gonna say
dst is for not wasting early summer daylight during an hour of the day that 98% of people would sleep through if the clocks werent changed. that hour is saved instead of wasted. and it being light out at 10:30 on a summer night is pretty awesome

It get's dark around 5PM here in the wintertime. Without the time change you would have an hour of daylight after you get off work (if you are 9-5 peon). It would make all the difference in the world. Working thruout the entire daylight period likely causes a lot more issues than whatever on earth the time change was meant to fix.

daylight savings time takes effect during the summer months
what you are complaining about is the normal time when it is not in effect any more
sorry over thousands of years of human history we converged on a strategy of being productive during daylight hours

again, what daylight savings time does and all it does is make it so everyone doesnt sleep through an hour of daylight because otherwise theres like an hour of wasted daylight at like 5am-6am. move the clocks forward and all of a sudden theres an EXTRA hour of daylight after work

There was a drive to repeal it here but it looks like the petition-gathering stalled in March. Hopefully it will pick up and get on the ballot next year, because messing with the clocks is dumb and bad.

It's been such a bitch for so long that even in today's world of Internet and cell phones using the time change for an excuse for being late is still totally doable (usually a 1 time only thing so use it wisely).

One of the best things about living in Arizona was never having to mess with the clocks. I can't say that I think that state did a lot of things right, but not abiding by the fuckery that is Daylight Saving Time is one thing they absolutely got right.

The time change sucks, but winter sucks, too. I really seem to be constitutionally suited to living in the tropics, which is weird because I am Anglo-Saxon as gently caress.

apparently the reason we haven't moved to year round british summer time is that the scots don't want it. maybe theyll leave like they keep saying they will and then we can do it

When daylights saving goes into effect in the US, I will be two hours head of the East Coast, instead of one hour like I am now. I shift between the same time and two hours ahead of the east coast.
