I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

I don’t need the sun to come up at 4:30 in the morning during the summer, and I am a pretty skilled runner. I’m just not a morning person.

    People rarely have their bleary eyed shit together before 9am anyway, best save the sun time for off hours.

    Then don't be. It doesn't change the fact that it's completely arbitrary when you get up.

    I wish I got to set the schedule to everything in my life

    You could just make the numbers be whatever you want if that's what you need to feel good about the time.

    Again, I don’t get to set my own schedule, they’re determined by these numbers that while arbitrary, are rigid. Drop a kid off an hour late to school every day and have fun explaining that to a truancy officer, or tell your boss you’re leaving work an hour early to catch some sunlight and see how that goes.

    So drop them off at the same time, but just call it 8 instead of 7. Or is it more important to force everyone else to be on the same arbitrary number as you?

    It’s not about the arbitrary number, it’s about where the sun is when that number not dictated by me rolls around.
