But 1+1 is 5. I’m sick and tried of people pretending 1+1=1. The sum is always bigger than each of their addends. How do people not get that

I hate to repeat myself but DST is garbage. I never said it’s good
But what is the alternative? Sure, fck daylight saving. Having the date changed at noon is fucked up, too, and that’s what happens if you agree to one global time. And having countries that are too big for a time zone is fucked up as well. Russia for example actually only spans to the Ural mountains, everything to the east are colonies. Fuck states in general #nobordersnonations
Sounds like daylight saving is the bigger issue. Maybe not bigger but when you compare cost and benefit. I think the US uses even different start and end dates than the EU and I don’t know about the rest of the world
Aren’t time zones quite straightforward? You add a whole number of hours and for some a half. Compare that to a sundial on the one side and having times that don’t match your day at all on the other, I’d say it’s good
So I guess you used the Gregorian calendar in your last comments, I see. Call me old school but I prefer the Julian calendar.
But I see your point now. The 19th is over and will never come back. A new 19th will come and claim their place but it won’t be the same ever again. Your package will never arrive but you will keep up hoping until the end. Hope for the sake of hoping. I honestly admire that attitude. It’s almost absurdist.
I use the French Republican calendar from 1793 because I’m so anti American, I use nothing except for metric systems. You?
Maybe they live in a different time zone?
It’s almost a month until the 19th!
I’m not sure if this is a joke but bible is from the Greek word for books. So yes, it comes from Greek but has nothing to do with the prefix bi-
No, built is “gebaut” not “Gebäude”. The “Ge- -e” circumfix is unrelated to the past participle. It can also be used with nouns, see “Gebirge” (range of mountains) from “Berg” (mountain)
Is that the case? I mean this is long before nation states or the north Atlantic slave trade or anything. I’m not romanticizing, people looted, had slaves, fought meaningless wars, but all independently of race. Besides, the first nations of turtle island are not really red.
To be honest, I haven been there either but Orwell went there and wrote a book about it.
Let’s just agree that it’s an odd number
