My brother-in-law just texted me about a plan for California to get rid of daylight saving time. I thought he was making a Jonah Ryan quip.
But nope, apparently it's real, California lawmakers take a (small) first step to doing away with Daylight Saving Time

I hate it when they make her unbearably cunty. It is interesting though that she basically has no redeemable qualities, but you still find yourself rooting for her vs. the world. Pretty great writing. Her reaction to Gary standing up to his dad when he keeps talking about his "secrets" made me LOL. And fucking Richard. Richard is in the pantheon of great ancillary characters on TV.

One of the few things I can agree with Cali lawmakers on. Shit needs to be abolished nationwide.

Excellent damn season all around so far...one of the best.
The plots, insults and jokes are running at a legendary pace.
The subtle reminder from Gary Cole's character that it is "daylight SAVING time" in a low voice was very well done. (little things like that I love)

I think most people believe DST is when you set the clocks back an hour in the fall. It's not. It's when you set the clocks ahead an hour in March. And it is amazing.
I wish they kept that all year round so it didn't get dark at 4 o'clock in the afternoon in the dead of winter here.
Why the fuck would you want to get rid of an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day?

Ahh you poor half enlightened souls.
there's 3 topics, pet peeves, which I am passionate about. I don't care what's going on or what the topic is, I will come out of the woodwork to shit all over anyone doing these 3 things, in order:
1. Driving slow in the fast lane
2. Talking shit about DST
3. Labeling Mass Effect Andromeda anywhere higher than "absolute dogshit"
Don't give a fuck if it's at your wedding, when the preacher says "if anyone knows of any reason why these 2 should not be together..." and I'll cut him off and shit all over you for doing one of those 3 things.
Now regarding #2.
Where do you live? Tell me, is life sustaining water, that thing you need to drink every single day in order to not die, is it frozen solid for months on end during the winter? Congratulations you are an idiot and you can't possibly understand the glory that is DST. You live so far from the equator and the sun's angles are so indirect you've had to evolve to supplement the vitamin D you aren't getting from nature by taking direct injections of the D, mostly Pos Load D, straight up your colon. go fuck yourself you have no voice in the DST debate.
Now if you aren't some daywalker retard and you do live where people are supposed to live, then you understand that humans are diurnal creatures whose melatonin production (which controls sleep cycles) is controlled by the sun. For millions of years us and our ancestors have evolved to wake up when the sun is coming up. It's nature's alarm clock. Birds know it, rabbits know it. whether its roosters and cows on the farm or it's pigeons and stray cats in the city, nature is telling you when to wake up.
Then, very very recently in the grand scheme of things, we decided to invent this thing called Time and clocks. And we stopped waking up with the sun and started waking up at the same arbitrary time every single day, despite the fact that the daylight of each day fluctuates on a cycle every year.
So while it's fine to wake up at 6 during late spring, summer, and early fall, when 6 is about the time the sun comes up; during the late fall, winter, and early spring it's still fucking dark outside. Great Americans, Great men, patriotic men, decided this was fucking stupid as shit to wake up before the sun came up. To get dressed by candlelight? to walk or ride your horse to work, and open your shops and businesses before the birds are singing? What madness was this?
So they said, you know what, fuck time. Fuck time for approx half the year. I don't care what time the clock says, i'm going to continue sleeping. I'll get up when the sun comes up and go fuck yourself with that "your an hour late to work" shit.
Khane has it exactly wrong. DST is simply waking up with the sun. The day light in winter is shorter than in the summer. If we didn't turn the clocks back during the winter months you'd be getting up, getting ready, and driving to work in the dark and it would still get dark by 5pm.
It doesn't matter what time it gets dark in the afternoon. You are already awake. It's not like you are some reverse vampire who must fall asleep as soon as the sun goes down, not even your grand parents or your children do that. Staying awake past sunset is normal natural thing that you will do pretty much for the entirety of your existence, but it is much, much more retarded to have to wake up before the sun.
edit: To keep this on topic, The character Jonah Ryan in the show VEEP is portraying the smartest human being on earth who supports abolishing DST. He is of course the dumbest person on a show about a bunch of imbeciles. That should tell you something about yourself, if you don't support DST.
