Then they should lobby to have their schools adjust the hours instead of making the entire timezone shift their clocks twice a year.

The advantage is that everyone makes the shift on the same day. There is no need to coordinate between kids schools and parents job.

If they go through with this, it means I leave home in the dark and get home in the dark in the winter. I work in a high rise, so I'll go all week without seeing daylight. Which is kind of depressing.

I signed out of Facebook in 2016 and haven't been back. It was like that back then. My feed was only updates from 'friends'. Guess I'm glad I haven't been back.

I quit because it was fake. People only post about the good times. It leaves you thinking everyone else has a better life than you, and I realized I was doing that to other people.

My neighbor works in HVAC and makes more than I do.

I also miss traditional forums. It seems like now they've rolled up all the worst attributes of every form of communication and came up with Discord. And Slack. I wish my company would institute a $1 charge for every new post so people would use "Reply in thread" the way God intended.
