From what I recall reading about it, approval ratings for the permanent switch were 70-80% right before it started, but after the switch, approval for the switch had dropped to 40% just a few months later after implementation (crazy!). Regarding the kids getting hit in the dark, there were states that were changing school times so kids wouldn't be out walking in the dark. With today's driving skills, kids looking at their phones, etc., it'd be like Frogger out there in the dark. lol.
You have some mad stamina, I don't know how you post here in the middle of the night so often. After a 12 hour shift I'm sleeping like a newborn that just came off his mother's tit...
1) Kids aren't running around the street like they did 50 years ago. Safety procedures have greatly changed. 2) Schools should change the time
Don't have regular work schedule and I do indeed have odd sleeping patterns. I have also totally embraced the concept of "nap" in the middle of the day. Just about +/- an hour is a game-changer.
I leave the house at 6:05 and its always dark, I leave work at 5:45-6:00 and now its friggin dark, F that noise, I want it light until 8pm............the next 4.5 months will suck, luckily, I am outside often during the day so I can get some "sun time" but overall, this is BS
FYI: the Full Beaver Supermoon will peak at 7:19AM tomorrow https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smar...-the-biggest-supermoon-of-the-year-180987616/
I guess I’m the only one who enjoys 6pm and dark. I am hybrid worker. So I have my office and can work from home. I wake up at 430am to start my day, if it’s an office day I’ll be in by 6am. I’m done with work by 3pm. Run errands after and any maintenance before 6pm or pay someone during the day lol Nothing is better than being in the dark. Yes I drive at night lol Sexo, TV, dinner xnxx. Then bed by 10pm. Dark bedroom with dark window screens. Pitch black and cold to sleep. Y’all missing out. I have the weekends to do any daily/outside activities. Concerts, lounges, shop ect.. Saturday coffee bar by 630am w my laptop and now it’s sunny by that time!!. She sleeps in. I go on the prowl.
Dark at 6 I like the dark. Always have. Neon cuts cleaner when the sun is gone. At six, the city drops its filters and the truth bleeds out with the light. I’m hybrid. Half corporate, half ghost in the circuit. Up at four-thirty, logged in and surveilled before most of Night City has even stopped dreaming. By six I’m already in the core tower, typing pretty lies for people who think the daylight protects them. By three, my shift ends. Errands, upgrades, a quick patch to the neural port if the implants act up. Then the sky bruises purple, and I start to feel alive again. Daylight glitches the mind. Too much reality, too many hopeful faces. Darkness is the true operating system. It edits the world, pixelates the guilt, lets you forget what you’ve done to survive. My nights are a loop. Sexo in cheap synth silk. TV tuned to channels the regulators pretend don’t exist. Dinner from a drone drop-off. Phantom-window screens sealing out every photon. Blackout so perfect even the retinal HUD powers down. I call it discipline. Others call it addiction. Weekends flip the script. Coffee bar at six-thirty while the sun claws its way up the skyline. She sleeps in. Biological. Innocent. I don’t know how she does it. I prowl instead. Lounges glowing with ultraviolet sin. Back alleys humming with data-weeps and black market code. Screens full of strangers who pretend to be gods. People say I’m missing out. That I should let the light in. But light reveals too much. Darkness understands. The night is loyal. And when the neon flickers just right, I can almost see the monster I’ve trained myself to be.
This is exactly what wifey and I have been doing. It's the only way we can get in our steps before it's completely dark (and cold/er).
I used to head out at night back when you could drive 30 minutes and actually get somewhere. Now I drive 30 minutes and I'm barely 2 streets over - ain't worth it. lol. Too many street racin crazies and nutcases out there with "student drivers" thrown in. I don't want to die. I'll just watch tv at home while y'all pay $50 for some fancy pizza and risk your lives!
