  • I think the reality will be a mixed response because it won’t solve the shorter days problems. It’s still going to be fairly miserable weather and shorter days, but less so.

    Mornings are already crap when you’re working day shift. Most of my coworkers roll in half asleep and looking for breakfast at work (weird imo, I wake up early enough to do all that before work) and don’t appear to be fully functional before 9am, minus some outliers. I don’t see it impacting that mess much.

    The real win for everyone is not having to chase clocks around the house biannually, not getting fully flipped for about 2wks.







  • MAGA is a man’s movement. (Just going to get this out of the way, because internet: not all).

    Embedded in the loyal following are the men flailing in response to women’s lib. Remember, the real, legit push for the legal and social equality of women is only 50yrs old. We’ve been beholden to men, financially or otherwise, for millennia. Consider that. Not because it’s natural, but due to male identity, and the fact that we have what they want (nurture, our bodies, and legacy), what they’d like to continue to see molded around that identity, strangulating another human beings life and future to get it.

    Fathers teach sons. By words or example. When boys, teens, and then young men grow up with “back in my day women weren’t like this”, “women aren’t women any more”, “the world treats us like shit now, in favor of women”, instead of “it’s about time” or “cool”, this can stick within the building of that male identity.

    And we weren’t like this back in dads or grandpas day, true, because we didn’t have choices. Couldnt get mortgages. Take out a credit card. Have a bank account our husband couldnt rob. Have medical privacy. Never mind work place problems. That crap Nancy Wheeler dealt with in ST, real.

    Rape culture travels with that mess, because that old culture came with entitlement to our lives, our bodies, and the legacy our bodies can produce. And our president is a convicted rapist. Enough good ol boys within that culture, somehow, kept his sentencing delayed until the election.

    Enter the manosphere, validating all of the above, while adding blame to women for not embracing the old ways prior to the beginning of women’s lib in the 1970s.



  • Coming here for discussion and meme dopamine, Lemmy still has that intact. Reddit has killed it with bots, ads, and some heavy duty corporate lean on things.

    r/castiron, dominated by Lodge Corpo as one example. Other “suggestions”, too early in the day to recall more names right now, are in a parrot circle of replies for brands, as above.

    You can’t trust it as much, which is why, in part, people are here instead. More old, old Reddit feels, you know, before it became cool and was thus inevitably ruined.
