You know who hates time zones the most? Programmers.

So does this colleague suddenly have to work 9-5

Worst of all, he sees a bit of daylight on the sunrise commute home. Yet I as a +10 would never see the sun.

Everyone who works a daylight job would work a daylight job with Universal Time. We exist under Universal Time right now, and yet you (and the majority of other people in the world) work during the day. Nothing would change.

Everyone would work whatever part of the day they work right now, except the numbers would change. And you’d have to learn what numbers mean “get up”, “lunch”, “dinner”, and “sleep” because they won’t be what you’re used to.

The current clock numbers are entirely arbitrary. (And they repeat!) When you were a kid, you had to learn what the hours meant relative to what part of the day it was. Under universal time, you would simply relearn that. Children learning it now would never know the difference. They would think local time is weird.

I don’t understand why every time this conversation comes up, there are always people who think that it means you’d have to change when you sleep, live, and work relative to the sun. I just don’t get it. It just seems like such an odd conclusion to me.

With global UTC timezone, then you need to ask, which are your work hours?

Which would be beautiful because you’d instantly gain an intuitive understanding of how that overlaps with your own work hours instead of having to do a conversion.

It was never about fun. It’s about experiencing the game.

When I read a book, the goal is to have whatever experience the book is going to give me, and leave my own life behind for a while.

Getting lost in a AAA fantasy world with super-high-fidelity graphics is an amazing experience.

Nova Drift, and then some more Nova Drift. Followed by a long session of Nova Drift. I think I need help.

How do you know my Lemmy password?

This video I just watched the other day says otherwise (with clear evidence.)

Why do handsome men always pose with their art? The art should be the focus. We get it, you’re beautiful, but let the art stand for itself. This is just upvote fishing. /s

Chicken sashimi is a thing in Japan. It’s slightly cooked on the outside.

What did this routine look like?

Kill the nickel and dime while we’re at it.

That’s a mention, not a tag. A tag is a private description you save about a user. Only apps have this feature.

I just tagged you. Thunder calls this a “user label”.

Most of them don’t hide. Not really. That bike cop behind the bush is something I’ve never seen. They are almost always in obvious sight, doing exaxtly what you’re suggesting: deterring speeders.

As for the black-on-black markings. Yeah, I wish they were more obvious. Mostly so I can be sure I stay out of their way on the highway.

Yet I played it so much I can hear it in my head right now.

In today’s dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.

Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today’s dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.

Just some perspective. I’m going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.

Markdown is 100%^[1] intuitive.

Maybe?

Nah

There’s literally no difference. Each Discord server is like a tiny chunk of Reddit. If anyone expected any privacy on these servers, they’re nuts.

This is dumb, police have been hiding behind roadside billboards to catch speeders since the advent of the car. It’s nothing new.

I for one am glad for speed enforcement, I fucking hate people who race on highways or city streets, dodging between cars with half a car-length to spare in front and back. Before texting, speeding caused the majority of highway fatalities.

I don’t know who I hate more, cops or fucking asshole drivers.

I definitely did! I guess maybe you can see why I was so exasperated. 😳
