Yeah but it’s dark in the morning anyway. Elementary school here starts at like 7am, that is a bigger problem than the DST. I thought they hated it because they switched it back in January? If it just never changed I’m sure it would not feel so shocking.

Already we do 8 months of DST and only 4 of EST here.

The WaWa gas station near me has more charging stations than gas pumps, and they are always full of cars charging.

And of course they sell beer and diet coke a cigarettes, coffee, snacks. The gas is just to get people in the door, and charging takes longer, I’m sure they’ll be fine.

Lunch most important nutritionally, supper most important socially. I always cook supper at home for the family, but try to get more of my calories earlier in the day as that feels best.

I’m glad to hear they got better!

We saw J Roddy Walston and the Business every time they came through, such a powerful live act and nice guys.

We have seen Bleachers a lot, Antonoff can’t dance to save his life but 2 drummers and always a good time.

Leon Bridges every time he has played here. Amazing, great show.

When I was a teenager I was driving to LA across I -10 at the same time the Descendants were on their tour so I saw them here, then in New Orleans, then in California.

If I like an artist I will go to their show, live music is one of the best things in the world.

That’s funny, I saw REM exactly once and that was one too many times. Way back when they were getting started. One of the worst shows I have ever seen.

But they changed it suddenly in January, instead of just not changing back in the fall. That was dumb.

We keep DST for more months than ST so I think more people like it more.

I kinda think it runs backwards, making the sun set even earlier in the clock day during winter. So much more dispiriting to come home in the dark than to go to work in the dark.

My argument for ending it is that you can’t make days longer or shorter by moving the clock around, but I think we should just keep adding weeks onto DST and taking them away from ST until eventually it’s just DST. But settling on either scheme would be ok, better than switching back and forth.

That’s funny, my best friend growing up was from Taiwan and her dad kept trying to get her to eat more to get fat. “Eat more! Be fat like ike Pei Shin!” (her fat sister).

Is it so different in China or is it just that your mom would complain you were skinny, complain you are fat, complain you are short, complain you are tall?

We used to be in an 11th floor office on the water and the view out of those windows was like eating a piece of cake, it was so beautiful. And once at the job before that, the shipping manager came to laugh at me & my coworker, grown-ass women, because we were watching a construction crane out the window at work, we were both fascinated with it. Because it was fascinating!

Scavengers Reign was amazing.

I can wholeheartedly, enthusiastically, recommend any of those.

And The IT Crowd is one of the funniest things I have ever seen, if you can find that please watch it.

Oh we have the worst, most starved public transportation, half the buses run only every hour, and on the bike to work - only to work - I do occasionally get there faster if there is traffic but there is no bike lane, I either use the sidewalk if no pedestrians, or the road if people are using the sidewalk. Traffic has to be pretty damn bad before I can move faster than the cars, I still have to stop at the same lights.

We have the most generous annual E bike voucher raffle in the nation, I believe, and the city is working on bike lanes, but really, the road between my house & work has no bike infrastructure at all. The public transportation problems are because that’s funded by the county not the city, the suburbs don’t want to pay for it. But inside the city we need it.

Personally (city dweller) a car is a time machine. I can get where I need to go mostly on a bike or my feet, but if I’m pressed for time - and that happens plenty - a car can get me there faster.

My penultimate child was at university about 10 miles from the house. There was a bus that got within a couple blocks of the sprawling campus, so I told her take the bus, but a year in said she could use my car and I’d walk to work since my commute was so short. That gained her about 3 hours per school day and lost me about one hour. Car is a time machine.

No.

Guys, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think y’all are really trying to sleep with all your friends, right? You do have friends who are like sisters not people you can see as partners?

I don’t have a best friend who isn’t my husband but am friends with straight men who aren’t my husband. My old boss comes over sometimes, we hang out, we are absolutely not into each other in ‘that way’. The brother of my ex, same. Just good friends.

Also, if you’ve already established that your boyfriend doesn’t care, why are you asking? If it’s his belief that all guys are absolutely indiscriminate and would always try with any of their friends, maybe ask him if that’s how he feels about all his friends who are women?

We make these occasionally and yes I think they are good!

Oh I was maybe 22, 23, loudly singing along with Elton John as he belted out “love I feel it in my haaaands, I can tell by the things I would do with another maaaan!” when I realized that probably was not something someone would sing back then. It literally had never occurred to me that he could be singing anything else, and it still sounds like that to me.

Love lies bleeding is the NAME of the song, but I’d never heard it announced or seen it.

Love lies bleeding in my hands

Oh it kills me to think about you with another man

If you are ok with a fun for now thing and both of you are on the same page about it, no, it’s not at all a waste of time. Aren’t you still a teenager? Don’t look for some forever thing yet, enjoy yourself!

That just looks like a facelift. Like damn near all actors get. Why do people compare younger pictures with older ‘done’ pics instead of old before and old after? Some ladies here at my work had eye lifts that came out great - they both look better - but if you compared their look now to when they were 45 of course they won’t look as good.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t IMO.

Mostly I love being physically embodied, I love seeing and feeling, eating, sex, lived being pregnant, I love having a physical body and consciousness.

What sucks to me is not necessarily physical decline - in general I’ve been able to handle what is thrown at me. I do hate time though. Hate the way we experience it in one direction. Hate the irreversible past that leads to the unavoidable future, it seems to just all be rolling out with no way to change it, every action came from some past action. Not just a big ship to turn, more like it will turn or it won’t but we can’t make anything happen that wasn’t already going to happen. Our present the irreversible past of tomorrow’s unavoidable future.

Ooh that looks so pretty! You have more patience than I do, to hang onto a starter for 5 months before using it!
