ISO-8601 exists for a reason and is better.

This is the sorta randomness I wish we got more of on the internet.

Entirely fair question and thanks for expanding, bit personal for online nobodys like us. Sorry if I came off as accusitory.

Taxes alone is a valid reason. So long as there are social, financial and legal benifits to the institution then there is no argument to have. If you feel that love or religion is a requirment that I feel your concept of marraige is outdated.

420 is still avalable. Not sure what you would put there (“Server too high?”) and given the controversy over 418 I think its best to leave that one blank instead of making a weed joke.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Classic.

Threaten us with a good time. If they do my stock in Orville Redenbacher will be doing well.

I would throw ferrets, weasles or trash pandas for the slot as they are known to like stealing things.

We used to do just that, google was where you went to find things. Reddit was where you went to tell other people what you found.

Now you google things on Reddit to find the post where someone else put in the effort to find something. Googles base results are such SEO garbage that niche things might as well not be indexed or gasp on the second page. Reddit itself has also become unuseable with the redesigns, old.reddit/ooer was more readable than the current UI/UX.

Careful what you wish for in that first requirement…

The Jojo memes were the friends we made along the way.

Ah, so this history teacher was a Sith Lord!?

I feel like it makes the conversation feel less hive-mindy as people arnt hunting for upvotes, they just say stuff (for better or worse).

Also that up and down votes are not tallied on user profiles. One of the issues with reddit is that if your point of view is unpopular, you cant discuss it on subs that require X amount of karma. Eventually you will be downvoted into being unable to reply. Here, conversation is more open and accounts dont carry a scarlet letter.

We know… but can anyone really do anything? We reguraly get scientific breakthroughs that may help, but are too new to meet the scale required. We regurally hear PSA like “Recycling helps” or “Only you can prevent forest fires” but once again, the scale of the issue is far larger than paper straws or other feel good wishcycling programs. We reguraly see that the ~100 companies directly responsible for the problems not suffering any concequences, investigations into wrong doings are met with armies of lawyers, lobbyists (see bribery), and limp-wristed regulations with fines that are considered “the cost of doing business” instead of a penalty to be avoided.

For me, the fear and panic of impending climate collapse has given way to apathy and resignation. We know its a problem, its just that the scale requires real global action, its a global prisoner’s dilemma, and im not confident people will get it right.

Thank you for the correction and the reference. The only time I can think of where these sort of distinction would come into play anyway would be if you asked a person in London the time from somewhere else vs. looking it up on a website. I dont exactly have any UK friends I call to look at clocks for me.

Different countries that observe DTS pick different days to do the switches. Also the closer to the equator you wre the higher likelyhood they dont observe it at all.

GMT observes daylight savings as it is in Greenwich England, this is not consistent between countries. UTC does not observe daylight savings.

Yes it does.

You never have to explain to family what you broke. You do have to explain it to the guy scraping your ass off the pavement so they find all your pieces.
