I never understood the arguments people use surrounding daylight savings. The health risks, accident risks, any risks surround the actual switch, not really the what time is used. If the clocks were set forward for "summer time" then 3 months later Daylight savings was abolished and no one changes their clocks anymore (as you said, permanent summer time) there would be no ill effects from it cause everyone was already used to the time change.
I want to get rid of daylight savings. I don't care whether it's standard time that use used or daylight savings time that is used as long as the switchover stops happening.

I think you're misunderstanding. Nobody against Israel is for Hamas. What we are for is the people of Palestine. Just like I am for the people of China but absolutely against the CCP. Or I am for the people of Russia but against Putin.
I can be against the death of civilians while acknowledging the reality of who is perpetuating that death.

I never understood what the dates were even used for. Like, is the date used for proof that I sent it before the deadline? Check the postmark on the envelope. Used to prove I know when the election is? Why else would I be sending a ballot. I don't understand what the proponents of that rule are trying to accomplish other than making a really shitty literacy test.
I'm torn and slightly confused. On one hand, good on them, I do enjoy some shitposting. On the other, the founder of NAFO is a nazi.
Edit: Also I went to Truth Social and thought it was weird that I couldn't reject their cookies so I clicked in the link at the bottom for GDPR and it gave me a 404 lol.
I worked with a guy that was a hard-core conservative, like just shy or real far-right talking points. Anyway he told me he doesn't watch the news. Not that he only watches fox news, I mean he doesn't watch any news at all. He gets his information from Facebook and tiktok
I live in a very red part of Florida. They've all been pretty nice to me. Of course, I'm white, my baby is blonde haired and blue eyed, and I'm in the military. They usually get pretty surprised when I open my mouth and start spouting crazy commie stuff like Trans Rights are Human rights.
I disagree. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence. His consequence is that the other people that live in the society he shares is fed up with him and do not want him to take part in it anymore. He can go somewhere else. We don’t want to hear it.
I had an honest to God reasonable discussion with a very conservative Christian man. We talked and I told him about the major problems I see today (this was before the current demonization of LGBT). Each one, like gun violence, I asked what proposed solutions the right-wing had and he conceded that every position they had was reactionary to a proposed solution by the left. I basically told the guy that I'll vote for the group that has some kind of solution, even a less than ideal solution.
I have a lot of respect for that guy. I don't think his position has changed but his willingness to hear me out was refreshing.
And it did. It started with coaxial. The fact that ethernet is now largely used in conjunction with UTP or STP doesn't add much when talking about the Ethernet protocol itself.
How it actually works is that the IRS doesn't known how much you need to pay. You provide your income and taxes already paid throughout the year then the IRS says "yeah, looks about right for what you made" or here's money back you paid to much or didn't pay enough. It only gets complicated when you have huge amounts of money.
