Welp, Since I no longer drive, have no perception of time, and my internal clock has decided to throw its springs and gears, It does not matter to me any more.

For all you brothers and sisters out there that have normal lives, work etc, yeah it needs to stop. It is a known fact that when we change time more people have heart attacks, stokes and accidents while driving, working etc. The stress levels greatly increases for everyone. At first when I could no longer keep up with the time it was a huge pain in the ass. Once I accepted the fact that my brain is broke and I quit trying and really never even look at a clock any more it was a huge freeing feeling. Like the weight of the world had been lifted. I know that for the folks that want to live a normal life can't do that but if they would just stick to a set standard instead of this DST BS I think it would help the majority in many many ways. So yeah Stop Doing it is my vote.

A long time ago it should have stopped.

When I first moved to Tuscon AZ that was my first experience with no time change. I never really knew how stressful it was and how much better it was with out it till then. From experience I can say it is better than being able to run around your own home in nothing but your draws being comfortable and not having to worry with putting the toilet seat down every dang time.

Think
if a baby is born at 1:59am and then his twin is born 2 minutes later but the clocks went back so now it’s 1:01am, which is older because the one born second will be older on paper but the one born first is actually 2 minutes older ???

Explain to me why we do it. What's the purpose for it today? I understand why they started it. Why should we continue it?

MAYBE, you should just move your chair 2 or 3 feet back from your computer, when watching internet porn.

Of course, Frankie "Tripod" would have to move HIS seat back about 6 or 7 feet.

Get rid of it. My grandfather worked as a Hog Head on the old CNW RR and they never observed DST, and the clocks in his house were always Standard time.


And while we're at it, let's move to one time zone. When it's 8:00am on the East coast, it's 8:00am on the West coast and everywhere in between.

You don't like it where you live, either move or STFU.

You've got it wrong. I think you want to keep the time on DST or summer time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time
