Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I'm saying this because DST has negative consequences while ST has none.
Wait until you guys have kids and get back to me on this topic. Let them sleep the same 12-2AM like you usually do and see what happens.
It's not about difficulty getting them to bed. They just hop on bed, I kiss them and away I go. But all that sunlights, with blind or not has an effect on their bodies and they can't sleep. Because right before they went to bed, they were outside soaking full sun.
But putting everything aside, I fail to see how moving an hour ahead makes life better? If that's the case... why not make it 2 or even 3 hours ahead? So we'd have 10:30PM-11:30 sunsets in summer and 6:30-7:30PM in winter. Wouldn't that be awesome???
Fuck no....
It might be great for a while, but after a few times it's indifferent. And we already have a natural changing process for that. It's called SEASONS. No need to artificially create them.
I live in the North. It doesn't even get dark at this time of year. You put cardboard over the kids windows. Simple.
DST makes no sense up here though. Winter it's dark from 5pm to 8am and summer it doesn't even really get dark so really makes no difference for us.

I was going to say this earlier............. nobody gets to whine until they have lived above the Arctic or below the Antarctic Circles. Daylight 24/7 or dark as poop 24/7 for a few months of the year. Come to think of it............. equinox gonna make a difference? I guess. All I know is, not gonna live anywhere close to any of the poles. The only poles I want to see is at No. 5 Orange, gulolol.
Okay, no jokes about sticking tongue on freezing poles................ warm lips? Maybe............ One of those pics or it didn't happen posts........ I mean poles.......... I mean posts.

As for 24 hour daylight/sunlight. Tinfoil. I think their is a few of us who have lived that far north on here. Carpet, with Velcro on the window sills is the best though, asf it’s easy removal is the best of both worlds! A light Berber, or old aircraft carpet is best. Ha

Whiners gonna whine, no matter what. People living in those places, find ways to cope with it. Be inventive..... git 'er done, instead of the woe is me syndrome.....
I just broke my fingernail on this keyboard........... woe is me.

If, and when, I commit suicide, its going to be one time deal. Not going for frequent flyer points. When doing something, do it right, I say.
True, though, that the suicide rate is higher in remote northern communities. It might have to do with the percentage of indigenous population in those areas.
Come to think of it, I'd be depressed too if my Uber Eats or Skip the Dishes took forever to arrive, and when it does, the food is frozen solid when I get it.
Am I trying too hard to make this thread one of those epic RS threads? We haven't had one in a long ass time.

Since 2011, I'd say about 70% of my work shifts were late or overnight. As a result, I have almost zero concept of time beyond sunrise and sunset. As I get older, the years are just blinks to me. Time gets more and more fluid. It's not about hours and days. It just flows on.
I mean, I can sleep and wake up at anytime. When conditions change, I adapt. Bright and humid? Adapt. Cold and dreary? Adapt.
In short, switching back and forth never bothered me. Just keep your sleep pattern consistent and in check and you'll live longer. No amount of time change would effect that.
We seem to live in a world where 'there's no time for anything' yet how much time do we waste doing frivolous things?
From a realistic perspective, it is more beneficial to have an extra hour of daylight at the END of the day, than at the beginning.
Most industries work 8-4 (with some starting at 7 and some ending at 5). Generally speaking, in the middle of winter when the days are the shortest, It is more beneficial to have daylight from 8am to 4:30pm than it is to have sunset at 3:30pm.
Dont think about this change as what time it will be light out until in July, think about it when the days are shorter. It doesnt mean much if Sunrise is at 4am or 5am in July. No one is awake to make use of that daylight. But it staying light out until 10pm instead of 9pm creates alot of opportunities in the evening, especially for recreation after work.
Any hour I gain is spent changing the time on all the fucking clocks and shit around the house, cars, etc.
Thankfully tech like laptops, cell phones and shit auto change........... my dashcams should, but they have issues. The non-GPS ones, anyway.
Clocks are so important in places like the rape dungeon. No windows and it's always dark. Can't tell if it's day or night, gulolol.
why do you need a clock in the rape dungeon?

Well results are out. 93% of people think changing the clocks are stupid, which is no surprise. Now we all get to watch how slowly our government can make change.
British Columbia is pushing ahead with a plan to eliminate seasonal time changes, but when it would happen remains a matter of timing.
Attorney General David Eby says legislation is being introduced Thursday that would allow B.C. to stop moving between daylight and standard time every spring and fall.
Quote:
A recent B.C. government survey found more than 93 per cent of respondents, or almost 225,000 people, indicated their support for a permanent move to daylight time.
The survey said three-quarters of those who wanted to stay with one time identified health and wellness concerns for their support, but the same health reasons were cited by the minority who favoured falling back and springing forward.
Five submissions from industry groups said aligning the province’s clocks with other jurisdictions was an issue in order to preserve the competitiveness of B.C.’s industries and avoid confusion.
With the exception of students, support for year-round daylight time was higher than 90 per cent in all regions of B.C. and across all industry and occupational groups.

OR/WA is awaiting federal approval...i think CA is holding off
Right now they're so caught up in impeachment hearings, infighting, and the 2020 election that this probably won't go through Congress for a long time. I figure that we need to do this and let others follow.
