its just some stupid rumor the left spread among themselves.
I'm to the point where I don't believe anything anybody says about trump, good or bad, until it is confirmed by multiple sources over the course of weeks.

I want to call it the boy who cried wolf problem but really it's the inverse... like not necessarily "that boy has lost his credibility" but rather "anybody who cries wolf is lying".

Actually come to think of it I don't believe anything leftists say either, so in that sense it is a boy who cried wolf but that's a separate phenomenon.
 
100 years ago there'd be a weird kid who could take apart a clock and put it back together after explaining every part in impassioned detail; they'd say he's weird but got a knack for gadgets and shunt him somewhere he could take apart bigger more important clocks for society's benefit.

Today little Jimmy the clock tinkerer is diagnosed with superautism and is given meds to sedate him because teacher and Mommy and Daddy don't want to deal with it.
The true horror of modern culture is realizing that if Isaac Newton were a zoomer he would have trooned out in discord.

Many such cases.
 
The other day I couldn't help but overhear two strangers talking about the tariffs with each other in a waiting room. From what I heard neither really had a strong opinion and spoke with the same tone you'd talk about the weather; mostly just conversational fluff. I gotta say, though, it's nice to get a refresher every once in a while that literally nothing about e-politics is real. Be it Xitter, /pol/, Facebook, Instagram, whatever, none of the cancer discourse rears its head in real life. It's all just faggy gossip and grifting. I can't place why, but everyone on the Internet argues like a scorned woman now.

So when you hear normal, composed people talking casually about current events, without trying to twist any new development into a political "win" or suddenly becoming an international trade expert when the "debate" calls for it, it's a great wake up call that there are still people who live in reality.

TL;DR: There is nothing gayer than arguing politics on the Internet.
I feel it's also a matter of people just consuming so much time with arguing that their mental image of politics just becomes a fusion of all the retards they dealt with. One of the reasons I'm glad I did lifeguarding was because when I had to deal with the daily retard, I climbed back up the chair wondering how people can be so stupid, then returned to my view of thousands of people obeying the rules and not being morons.
Same thing I feel applies to online discourse, need to take a step back every now and then to realize most people are not like this and that online political spergs make up a tiny portion of the nation.

welp daylight saving is american good old system.
That’s not how seasons work dipshit. What if the Romans made every month 31 days? Good job fucking up every calendar. People centuries long dead could figure this out but not fat retard. Mmmhm what if we made every day 25 hours to keep the slaves toiling an hour longer? DOGE please reach out and let’s discuss.

Why the fuck do we even keep these time shifts anyway? Everyone who has to get up in the morning hates them.
Just look at the sun little nigga. It’s so farmers can work the field according to daylight. How can you complain about the switch and then make farmers run their machines past dusk. Seems a little inconsiderate considering you’re not as affected by it as them.

Farmers, ranchers, agrarian people generally like daylight savings time. I am one of them, and I hate it. Nothing stupider than getting up to feed animals at 6, just to have total darkness because of a government time stamp.

Just my view on it, anyway.
 
I am too American to know which is which, I just want more time in the evenings to get stuff done after work. Can I have that one?
that would probably be DST, the one we're in currently
unless "more time in the evenings to get stuff done" means more nighttime, then you'll want to vampire standard time probably?
