I feel like the people making these posts at the beginning of DST are as confused as the pets. The clocks are moving forward, so the pets will get their food an hour earlier, by their reckoning. Doubt many pets are upset by getting food sooner

This makes more sense for going back to standard time. Since daylight savings time animals on a schedule get fed "an hour earlier" than normal
In the winter I wake up at 5 and go to sleep at 10. In the summer I wake up at 6 and go to sleep at 11.
I refuse to change my circadian rhythm for an arbitrary secular time change. It's dumb
This year for the first time I tried shifting all my elctronics to a non-dst time zone equivalent to summer time. I spent the whole winter with a 1h time difference relative to my environment and it was absolutely fine. Didn't miss appointments, coming to work early and leaving early was accepted... I kept waiting for the powers that be to drop DST, but it turns out you can just opt out
Wait so you switched to the dailight saving time permanently?
I think so, yeah. It was professionally and personally more acceptable to be early/early than late/late. Also if I get anything wrong in my personal life I'd rather be 1h early than 1h late.
Doctors say it's the wrong one, but my conspiracy theory is that when they do they don't really account for the fact that the 9-5 rhythm is what's actually bullshit rather than the correlation between then number on your phone and the sunlight, and they also say that a regular rhythm is what's really important so I did it this way because it was easier, and if society ever becomes sane I'll resynchronize with it then.
Edit: I did say "non-dst time zone," but I only meant a time zone without automatic DST shifts for my computer. In real life I never remember which one is DST and which one isn't ; in my country they call it summer/winter time.
British Columbia just switched to permanent daylight savings. :3
If i change classes to Lumberjack and accept a 10% experience penalty for my next level can i come to BC? One of my cats will vouch for me
Well, the game-master is making the server increasingly class-locked and I'm not sure if Lumberjack is a class that's needed rn. You can check the FAQ tho... I do know that we need support classes pretty bad (Nurse, Doctor, etc.) but that's just because they've advertised it.
shit, you just need general Nurse or Specialist? I could probably multi into Nurse Anesthetist (which would play well with my scar tissue) pretty easy, but i've been on the financial side of medicine for a couple decades. I would much much rather work with patients than money.
One of our cats has epilepsy and needs to get his medication every 12 hours. It's a pain.
At first glance I thought it read "suffer me or feed the consequences". Honestly works out
'let's do the time warp again'
Gonna show this to my boss when I come in late tomorrow.
Ah snap thanks for the reminder.
I know it’s all automated these days, but the mental prep isn’t.
