    Instead of using your time to help solve important issues, you’re commenting on Lemmy. You make me sick.

      I prefer the time zone where the sun comes up later and sets later…

      Most of us arent farmers anymore. We dont need sunrise at 5am

      Would prefer to have a bit of light after work

        Yeah. Imagine an MP discussing something their constituents almost all want. What a piece of shit.

          And adding seasonal stress doesn’t help. This method of changing the time twice a year is completely unnecessary and costs money.

            Ending DST is such an easy and effortless political win that I don’t know why it hasn’t been done yet.

                Oh it did not even occur to me that it’s that time of the year again. The only times that this time change stuff has effected me in my adult life was one fall, I showed up to class an hour early once or I went to do some government work an hour early. I live in Saskatchewan and the showing up to class an hour early was because my phone decided I was not in Saskatchewan, after that mix up I have stayed on top of making sure my electronics do not believe I follow that silliness. Years later while I was working for Statistics Canada the stupid software had no idea how to handle Saskatchewan not following that silliness so I showed up to someones home and hour early.

                Ya, I don’t know why it took so many years for Sasktel not to change the time in a non-DST province.

                I haven’t been experienced it in a while, so I assume they’ve got it fixed.

                  The university class would have been in the late 2000’s the Stats Canada computer would have been in the late 2010’s.

                    I love DST. It lets me identify clueless whiners so quickly. If they whine about DST I have no time for someone because it’s literally the easiest thing in the world.

                        Just don’t do permanent DST. It’s bad for our health, it’s bad for kids, and it doesn’t make sense.

                        Just do proper solar time.

                        The 24 hour clock that zeros at midnight is entirely artificial. How can numbers we made up be bad for your health?

                        We’re talking about offsetting human activity with sunrise and sunset, right? And we do this by changing the clocks everywhere in a time zone twice a year such that the rule “The business opens at 9 AM and closes at 5 PM” remains the same, but how far those events are from local solar noon sloshes back and forth a bit.

                        So, hold the clocks still, pick what times it is healthy for school to start and end, and then start and end school at those times. 8 to 3? 7 to 2? 9 to 4? Who gives a shit what the numbers actually are?

                        Moving the clocks back and forth gives everyone everywhere jet lag twice a year, which isn’t good for anyone’s health.

                            BC’s gov said they want to keep it in sync with the US even though Saskatchewan, Arizona and the Yukon do not perform the clock switch anymore.

                              The time switch itself isn’t that terrible. But sunset before 5pm can fuck right off.

                                    Preferably the one where we gain an hour, not the one where we’re robbed of an hour.

                                        BC cleaving to foreign direction is just so spineless; even more now when it’s America making stupid decisions that affect BC.

                                        Mr Eby’s own fucking province runs on two different time zones and they seem to figure it out even when there’s no border to remind people to turn the clocks ahead.
