I love DST. It's not-DST that kills me. I'm only partially conscious in the morning, and I'm fine with being partially conscious in the dark. One year during the energy crisis we got double DST, which was lovely. It doesn't actually save much energy, though.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In the isopod spirit, I give you the giant isopod: [link] These things range worldwide over the deep sea floor.

Last week it was still basically dark in Cincinnati at 8am, so I am very glad of the time change. I note that which edge of the time zone you live on, and whether you are a morning or an evening person, makes a huge difference in your opinion of this phenomenon. As I am a morning person, full dark until 8am is very hard for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't have any use for the morning! I don't think it matters if I'm a morning person or not. Five days a week, it's spent getting ready for work, driving to work, being at work. I'm increasingly greedy of what light I can grab after the end of the work day, since it's elastic unlike the start.

Yes! So much this. In the winter, I just feel like the day is over when I get home and it's dark. And cold. I just have to hunker down until it's over.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I am a night person, but I find it much easier to get out of bed if there is some light

I do not like the giant isopod. Or things with multiple jaws.

I am with ita- I can go to work in the dark. I would prefer not to come home from work in the dark.

I cried. Steph may get a ladyboner. Others are encouraged to appreciate or not as they will.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I cried.

Apparently, eating chocolate all day is not the way to a more healthy weight. Go figure.
Willy Wonka lied to me!

I'm not a Ryan Gosling fan (although I'm not opposed to him; I guess I'm neutral), but that shit is awesome. The "fl" ligature is HOTT.
