Per the Wikipedia article:
It is a common myth in the United States that DST was first implemented for the benefit of farmers.[38][39][40] In reality, farmers have been one of the strongest lobbying groups against DST since it was first implemented.[38][39][40] The factors that influence farming schedules, such as morning dew and dairy cattle’s readiness to be milked, are ultimately dictated by the sun, so the clock change introduces unnecessary challenges.[38][40][41]
TL:DR for the rest of the history and rationale: Most of this was rich people wanting more time for their personal hobbies, other people’s sleep and health be damned.

Sorry lol I’m an old. A lot of it came from some…”interesting” fandoms on tumblr and deviantart in the early-mid 2010s.

You are beautiful, you are loved, and you deserve to go get up and get yourself your favorite drink and/or snack then get some sunshine.

- Comment on When the movie actually repeats almost the same line within like 5 seconds seriously what the fuck I never noticed this [Day 84] 1 week ago:
OP is making daily memes from each line in the movie “The Room.”
Apparently this line has been repeated enough times that it’s causing frustration.

Brain’s job is to keep alive, not happy.
Fortunately brain also knows this and gives responses to itself about this predicament.

- Comment on How dare the alarm I set betray me like this? 3 weeks ago:
An alarm set for brownies being done baking is much less upsetting than an alarm to wake up and go to a job you hate/school.

- Comment on Hi-Rez Studios is laying off further employees and ending development on Smite, Paladins, and Rogue Company 4 weeks ago:
They were itching to dump RC like a month or two after it launched. I played a bit when it came out but then news of them abandoning ports made me quit while I was ahead.
Shame too because it was a fun PvP shooter like TF2, and not sweaty like other live-service games.

My memory could be failing me but most likely the Star Wars Ahsoka series on Disney+, as that’s where the character is recently prominently featured.

I’m like, borderline aro(?) and yeah having the option to proceed down a meaningful friendship path with my favorite characters/have them move in (shoutout to Krobus in SDV) is awesome when provided.
I can also see the “empty tokenism” as in, players deserve more fleshed out queer relationships instead of rainbow stickers being half-heartedly slapped on existing characters but yeah unfortunately the reviewer is probably a pearl clutching “woke DEI other-buzzword bad” type.

This was me this past Tuesday. Full arms out, tee and shorts, soaking up every last drop of warmth like a starved plant.
Hopefully it’ll sustain until proper spring but it was glorious for that moment.

You’d be surprised how much free time and headspace people are willing to dedicate to the benefit of corporations in the name of defending their special interests.
