So, what’s your opinion on daylight savings time?
You can call meeee Al!
I was really hoping that we weren’t going to be doing it this year
Can You be my bodyguard?
If you’ll be my long lost pal.
"Who will be my role model -?
The sounds of silence? - -
Now that my role model is gone, gone, gone
I embrace my hibernation!! It’s the only way to get through (plus vitamin d supplements)
Also standard time is elite. Google it people
I believe there is a bill currently awaiting a vote to have this daylight savings be the last one from now on
Mine too
Read that as “seasoned depression”, and all I could think of was how tasty my depression would be with some adobo.
Edit: Typo
I hope the bill gets passed where we just have the permanent daylight savings time.
To my knowledge it has already passed, supposed to start next year
I would prefer seasoned depression if I'm being honest.
Now that's big brain thinking!
I found out this week it passed the senate but not the house. It could pass before next spring, but I doubt it.
Only the senate passed it. The house sat on it and hasn’t voted.
Gotta prepare myself for all the “I can’t believe how dark out it is right now” bullshit that happens every year.
.....we are currently back on Standard Time.
Only needs to be passed before next fall, because we’d spring forward either way
Friggen sucks!
I want it to be dark in the morning and light at night.
You can call me Betty
We shouldn't have sunsets at 4 whatever. If we can't make DST normal, we should join Atlantic standard time
Legit, Carlson's Cod Liver Oil (lemon flavor, yellow cap! Just tastes lemony!). Fixed my whole shit right up.
I mean, you can’t have it both ways, but I think most people would prefer to not have it be dark by the end of the work day. Having 5-6 hours of darkness before bedtime also feels disorienting.
I hate this so much
I wish my toddler knew not to get up at 5:15
I remain the lord of time by turning my clocks back one hour every hour. How many time travelers do you know with seasonal depression? Zero.
It’s worse to wake up at 7:30 am and it’s still dark. Embrace waking early and gong to bed early!!! Hibernation time.
Already over this crap. Thing is I LOVE the holiday season but after New Years Day it's gloomy, dark and cold.
Can you be my long lost Al?
It always feels so weird to me. It’s only 8:30PM right now but it feels so much later. I felt bad for my boyfriend last night, he works at a bar that closes at 2AM on the weekends so he had to stay an extra hour last night on top of his usual 10 hour shift 😬
Winter after New Years is so depressing. Everyone puts away their pretty Christmas decorations and everything is gloomy and dark. I hate putting away my Christmas tree, that’s why I left it up until February one year 😬
I'm that house that sets up Christmas lights and then switches to winter colors after Jan 1st. Colored lights for the holidays and blue/white till March 1st.
Time for me to switch from my standard depression to my seasonal depression and stock up on vitamin d supplements
Standard time sucks
Is this also for Mass?
Honestly not a bad idea. Every Friday we can jump from 4pm to 5pm and then get that hour back overnight
Yeah, it would be country-wide
I guess i’m in the minority but for me the more darkness the better. I am not a fan of sunlight. Maybe it’s from my years of working third, or my severe depression.
Oh good. I had the logistical nightmare of working with people in Mass and having that be a different time zone lol
4:30 here. I hate it.
Yeah, I am one of those who prefer standard time as well. Here is a link that shows how harmful daylight savings time is to our health. There is a lot of research into this topic, this article just summarizes some of it.
It feels right to me.
By then it's steadily getting lighter later. Will still be light out at 5pm
Me and my ✨ seasonal affective disorder✨ hate it.
The House has had the Senate version of the bill for 7 months and Pelosi couldn't be bothered to put a bipartisan, well-supported bill to the floor for a vote. This is one reason (of hundreds) why we're sick and tired of politicians.
sucks
That's Rhode island for yea
Yep: dogs don't get the memo either 😆
I thought it passed wtfffff
Check your self. I get up every day at 5am so it's dark for me driving to work no matter what. So I'd atleast like to have more than 2 hours of sunlight after getting home.
I’m not a fan of the early darkness but since I love cold weather and means that it’s close I usually like this time of year.
I say usually because this bullshit 70+ weather we’ve have been stuck with sucks. I’m getting very impatient for the cold.
Welcome to the dark season.
This reminds me I need to buy some good old D3.

I propose we let time drift a few minutes every day so that sunset is always 8pm.
"Will we turn clocks back on Sunday? Yes, bill to stay on Daylight Saving Time stalls"
Yes, I remembered when this happened in the 70s. (I am that old.)
It was a response to the energy crisis. People did hate it. I remember a lot of parents complaining about kids waiting for their school bus in pitch darkness.
My dude, that stuff is expensive! But not nearly as expensive as therapy 😏
Mine hits in the summer, since i absolutely hate hot weather. Hang in there friend - it'll be my turn again soon enough.
