    My car has the correct time again! I just said fuck it and decided that IDGAF and let it keep the standard time when it was Fall back.

    I feel justified in my laziness today

      My car as a separate clock on the dash and one on the nav screen. I keep them a hour apart and just attend to the correct one depending on the time of year. If you think this is insane, maybe think about how insane it is that we still do this dst bullshit at all and vote for politicians like those in Mexico that are willing to drop this shit. I genuinely worry that as more clocks update themselves we will become complacent and will never be free from this tyranny.

        But maybe we could reach a point where the clocks update every night so instead of shifting an hour at a time twice per year we can shift 20 seconds per day. I haven’t put much thought into this but I think it’s the next best solution after leaving the god damned clocks alone.

      We just switched to daylight saving, which happens during the summer. You kept it on saving time, not standard time, when you didn’t change it in the fall.

      I used to be like that. Then at some point, time became a part of my job and now because of this stupid government, I spent 15 minutes stress-running around fixing everything twice a year.
