I don’t… I don’t think I can read that. I think it will ruin me for today. Fuck.

And with something like the BBC there’s some value to trying to “fix it from the inside” moreso than with American news outlets that are privately owned. The BBC is a publicly owned national broadcaster, at some level they’re the only game in town.

Same pizza chain but different location as a driver

Currently unemployed and looking for another lab tech or low level scientist job, ideally at the NIH. Gotta be right in the “turn into a shadow on the pavement” range when DC gets nuked

Oh I also did paid acting gigs for a while, it was never enough to like, pay rent though.

$1500? God damn. I need to get that done but that’s a lot.

believes he “will be able to manipulate” former President Donald Trump

As opposed to Biden who’s been putting up so much resistance?

RIP. In the US summer time is from early March to early November.

Ideally with some sort of mechanism to ensure the party makeup in parliament matches the overall percentages of the vote, otherwise you end up with the UK where half the time the Tories get like 70% of the seats with like 30% of the vote

The jump in car accidents and heart attacks begs to differ.

But I agree, my biggest problem is that 5pm is too early for it to be dark. Death to standard time.

:no:

They made the common mistake of assuming winter time, the one that sucks and where daylight is “saved” by moving it earlier in the day and we’re only on for a small portion of the year is Daylight Saving Time instead of Standard Time. That’s why we call it standard, because most of the time we don’t use it!

Obviously the summer time where we get to use all the daylight in the evening, the one we’re on for the majority of the year, is Daylight Saving Time!

People say it’s for farmers, but obviously that’s nonsense. The intention was to reduce energy use, by shifting things so when people get off work they spend more time outside instead of inside using energy.

Also because the guy who came up with it wanted to spend more time catching bugs iirc.

Also if it has any effect on energy use it’s unclear which direction and it’s less than 1% either way, which is not enough to justify the increased car accidents, heart attacks, etc. that happen every time we shift the clocks.

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.

Heart attacks and strokes go up too iirc

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

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.

Uteruses are also not on the ballot

I swear to god liberals think Trump has still been president the last 4 years. Roe was overturned under Biden! And they did nothing to stop it and have done nothing to fix it! And Kamala has said she will do nothing different from what Biden has done!

I genuinely do not understand what about her they think is pro-abortion

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.

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.

I really want to stress part of this. The US and UK are bombing Yemen for upholding international law.

There are only 3 countries on earth that are actually in accordance with international law right now, and those countries are Yemen, Lebanon, and Iran. Those are the only 3 countries fulfilling the Responsibility to Protect. Every other country on this planet (I’m glaring at China while I say this) is failing that responsibility, and then a select few are dropping bombs to prevent those 3 from fulfilling that responsibility.

Every country selling a single cent of goods to Israel is violating this principle. There is a legal and moral responsibility to be dropping bombs on Tel Aviv, and not doing so is both a moral and legal failure. Xi, I’m sorry man, where the fuck are you?
