It’s what clocks are “supposed” to be set at

Even better for us Dutchies: CEST shifts us one hour, but our timezone is the same as the rest of the mainland, but technically we’re inside the UTC zone, so we’re actually shifted 2 hours from where we’re supposed to be!

Fuck the economy, I want our times fixed, so we can sleep better!

I wasn’t sure if you were joking, but nope: https://newsroom.heart.org/news/heres-your-wake-up-call-daylight-saving-time-may-impact-your-heart-health

See, telling your supposed enemy your intentions was the first mistake. If you didn’t intend to go through with it, then it was just an empty threat. Either way it’s dumb.

Domestic violence is a huge issue, and women are more likely to suffer from it!

Yes and yes.

and scientifically literate readers won’t dismiss your credibility along with your cause.

No. If you care about women’s lives, you’ll focus on cancer instead.

Homocide per 100k capita of women (summed the separate numbers on page 9, worldwide): 7.4

Deaths per 100k capita of women just in the USA (listed under “Sex and Race/Ethnicity”): 126

Here’s your headline: Women are 1602.70% more likely to die of cancer, than of homicide at home!!!

Now… Homicide bad. very bad. Homicide very bad (self-defence does obviously not count). But compared to some other numbers that are also bad, maybe homicide relatively not that bad.

You are paid according to your responsibilities, not your skills. Well, partially for your skills, but it’s not the be-all end-all of your salary.

Sadly, after a certain point, people become so rich that they can skirt their responsibilities, which is problematic, but that’s a separate thread.

Lofi Beats for the Medieval Knight You Always Wanted to Be

This is my go-to playlist whenever I need to go to work (typically I work from home).

edit: In case you don’t feel like feeling like a Knight, may I interest you into feeling like a Viking instead?

One year left, before W10 support goes out the Window.

“descent”; being decent is luckily not punishable with death 😂

edit: I’m an idiot. It’s “dissent”. Going down a cave is not punishable by death either. English is hard.

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

Remember, kids, “less” is for uncountable things, like liquids, whereas “fewer” is for countable things (like apples).

It’s one of many weird rules that English, as a language, has.
