Title: daylight savings time is horseshit
Post by: Human Snorenado on March 08, 2008, 11:36:18 AM: Since we are, in fact, LIVING IN THE FUTURE RIGHT NOW, I fail to see the need for the continued adherence to this outmoded ritual. But no! Apparently in the past couple years it has been decided that we need MORE OF IT.

Horseshit, I say. Anyway, don't forget to set your clocks ahead tonight, fuckers.

Post by: Raban on March 08, 2008, 12:18:40 PM: The daylight savings time we just finished was gay, with the longer night, but the extra hour of day is what I consider to be the real way things work. It just makes more sense. The sun going down at 4:30 doesn't make sense.

Except for when it's light until 7. They should just not have fall back and keep it like that forever.

Yeah, you lose an hour of sleep tonight. Screw that, I want to get another hour of sleep. I don't care if it screws everything up or not, let's all turn our clocks back again!

Post by: Solo on March 08, 2008, 06:15:58 PM: The whole system has never made sense to me, as we shift back again in 6 months anways. Why change in the first place if we're just going to come back?

Rhetorical question, I am aware of the reasons. Still a distinguished mentally-challenged tradition if you ask me.

I'm okay. It's not too serious. I do some light therapy and I generally don't have any lasting problems. But I hate everything about winter...I hate short days, I hate darkness, I hate cold, I hate snow...looking out my window in late December is suffocating.

Summer totally changes my life every year. I have more energy, I'm happier, I get to wear more comfortable clothes, I go swimming, it's vacation time, I see my family....mmm.....

DST is always the opening salvo in the WAR ON WINTER

EAT SHIT AND DIE, COLD

My grades usually go up during March too.

Post by: Himu on March 09, 2008, 01:51:05 AM: winter has its advantages. For one thing, the clothing fashions are much much COOLER and AWESOME. Winter fashion is fuckign SEXY especially on chicks.

i really can't believe you'd think that, what with people running around scantily-clad in summertime!

edit: I forgot about your recent conversion to Animuslam and the new desire to see women in layered clothing.

One of my profs in undergrad brought one of those light therapy machines to class one time. He turned it on, and like the dumbass I was, I happened to be sitting in the front row. I couldn't sleep until 5:00 am that night. :'(
