What a ridiculously misleading headline. AI outputs texts according to the inputs we give it to output, the same as literally every other function on a computer. If we don’t program it to do something, it won’t.

That’s not more sunlight though! The numbers changed without making any difference.

It did make a difference. The sun set earlier, meaning an extra hour or 2 of your life is in darkness, when it doesn’t have to be.

If you want more sunlight get up earlier, don’t change the clocks!

You’re correct, we could accomplish the exact same system by changing work times instead of changing the clocks. But that would result in the exact same “traffic issues”, “confusion”, while also messing up payroll and requiring every business and government website to update its charts. The only difference between “Move the clocks back” and “Everyone change their work schedule an hour earlier” is the amount of paperwork.

why yes, that is the point, more sunlight is better! which is why less sunlight is worse, and we shouldn’t switch to less sunlight. <3

You think losing 2-3 hours of sunlight would make “zero impact”? I don’t. And yes, if it’s sunny when you’re asleep, and dark when you’re awake, you lost the sunlight.

So your argument is “Oh, the math is pretty, so we should make our actual daily schedule worse” ???

almost nobody is up at 4-5 AM, and almost everybody wants to stay out from 7-9 PM in the summer. it’s just worse.

That we’re even debating this in 2026 really confuses me.

You brought it up. Just look at the chart. Getting rid of Daylight Savings just makes things worse. With our current system, we get sunrises at a reasonable time and sunsets at a reasonable time. It’s not a positive change.

I don’t get why we would want to stop doing it? You lose a single hour on one night of the year, and in exchange you get more sunlight for the entire winter. Like ???

Kids generally benefit more from 1-on-1 instruction and smaller classes. Some neurodivergent kids might need a more relaxed structure than schools can provide. But generally, most parents are not able to teach higher level classes (like, past age 7) effectively. Really you would be better off paying to send them to a school with smaller classes.

The reason is that doctors and pharmaceutical companies are also for profit, meaning they make money selling you treatments. This puts them in a position to use your condition to exploit both you and the company. The insurance company is balancing the cost of your preferred treatment versus the cost of other treatment and the benefits. You can work with your doctor to build a documented record of attempting to lose weight- see a nutritionist, start seeing a therapist for your food addiction, start going to weight loss meetings, exercise therapy for the morbidly obese, etc. These will also be helpful by themselves, because those drugs are only temporary. Like weight loss surgery, people regain the weight when they don’t do the work to address the underlying issue.

9 hours of chilling for 1 hour of bettering myself. Gotta feel rested.

I work 65 hours a week but its a fine job

Oh fuck that. If I worked 65 hours a week, no way in hell would I worry about bettering myself during the workweek. Maybe an hour or 2 on the weekend.

kids in their 20s can literally rent a room in a furnished house with a bunch of other 20 year olds. there are jobs in tourism that will give housing and let you experience amazing destinations that our grandparents would’ve had to save their whole lives to be able to see. like yes, it will require grit, compromise, hard work- but the rewards are so much better than sitting around your hometown thinking you have no way to get out. You do! You just have to be willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to fail.

the stakes of moving will never be lower than in your early 20s. one of my regrets is definitely not taking more risks, because worst case scenario I literally would’ve just moved back home without any judgement. obviously that’s not everyone’s situation, but it is the average American in their early 20’s situation.

Well, I don’t live in a place like that, so there’s that. Consider moving to a better city for young people for a few years.

higher barrier of entry = a higher % of the posts are made by intelligent people.

obviously it’s still massively outweighed by the stupid shit, I’m just saying I see it more than I saw it on reddit.

I only remember one because it was a shot gun layout. Kitchen-living room-mom’s bedroom-my bedroom all in a straight line. Super inconvenient because I had to go past her room every time. The other places I lived were bigger, so I don’t remember them exactly.

got any recommendations?

I know we liked to call it “the world wide” web, but realistically the owners and operators of websites are individuals, people who live in a nation-state and are subject to their society’s rules. Although American capitalists really tried, it’s not fair to expect one website to serve the entire world’s needs or be a truly global public service. If we want that, we’d need to collaborate at the UN to make it happen.

the crazy part is, the meat industry is only staying afloat because of billions in subsidies! meanwhile vegetables get basically no subsidies at all, just limitations on the amount a farm can produce. you can see the cost of that policy decision in our health outcomes.

Silksong it’s a great game but way too hard for me. :(
