I just love waking up in full light and go home in full darkness, because why not.
I hate it. Make it the other way around at least.

Sunday the Clocks go back an hour. Why do we still do this?

I didn't know this. That really sucks for those in the westernmost parts of China. They're technically 3 hours behind Beijing.
I propose you should never have to wake up before sunrise, and should be home from work before sunset.
If that means the workday in the winter is 9am - 2pm then so be it.

I like living in darkness for the rest of my afternoon. This ain't Dragons Dogma, everythings gon be alright.
I don't mind the switch itself, it's just the fact that not everyone does it that makes things super difficult. If everyone around the world were to do it at the same time, which I know would defeat the purpose of it for almost half the world, then at least the time zones would be more normal. I work a lot with people in Arizona, which means that next week I'll have to remember that they'll now be 2 hours behind instead of the usual 1.
We do it so when you're up all night binge watching Stranger Things 2, and you think it's time for bed but you realized you got another free hour to roll a blunt and watch another episode.
And then you hit the bed like:

For everyone saying we should just stay on DSL, you realize standard time is "standard" for a reason, right?
What you should be arguing for is schedules that better fit the available daylight.

That's the price of living so far from the equator.
DST is an unholy abomination. Chronos himself will strike mankind down for its arrogance.
I also miss living in Arizona.

Some of us don't sit inside posting on Era all day and enjoy sun light and going to rooftop parties and stuff
Lies, standard time is the abomination. I'm all onboard the DST all year train. 4pm darkness is completely unacceptable.
It's kind of like that in Edinburgh. It's often still pretty light after 10pm during the height of summer, of course assuming that it's actually a sunny day which happens less and less each year it feels like.
When I'm staying up to watch Sony's E3 conferences it's not unusual for it to only get fully dark around 11:30pm before eventually lighting up again at around 3am. It's really remarkable to be honest. Of course on the flip side during the middle of winter you only get what feels like 4 hours of daylight so...
I'm all for killing off DST.
Used to be the sun would go down around 7:30 pm here. Now it's dark at 4. I never remember how this affects it, but in a few months it should feel okay.
AZ here. There's really no point in us having DST. We're south enough where sunset times change by maybe 2.5 hours from summer to winter. Also during the summer you don't want to go outside until the sun is down anyway.
Indiana is fucked up to the point where if there was no DST, a large part of the state would have a 9:15 AM sunrise in December. Not sure why most of it is in the Eastern Time zone. Same with the UP of Michigan.
Yeah, in AZ the only difference being winter and summer is that in summer the sun sets about 7:30 to 8 and in the winter it's closer to 5 or 6.
It really threw me for a loop when I went visit family in Iowa and the sun was setting closer to 9PM. It blew my mind that sun would set that late anywhere. I was so used to living in a place where the sun was pretty consistent.
Fuckin' Kaiser Wilhelm. This is the true crime the German Empire should have gone on trial for.
Yeah that part was one of my favourites from the show.

ehhhh I'm struggling to find more.
Daylight savings is terrible. So much stress and waste over something that helps no one at all. Why can't we just get rid of this nonsense?
I'd prefer that. Essentially having DST all year. I think the main argument for switching back in the fall is kids traveling to school in the dark is dangerous.
Having read more into it seems the vote was passed in MA but they won't do anything unless they can get all of New England to agree to it as well. It seems the vote was to switch MA's time zone from Eastern Standard Time to Atlantic Standard Time permanently all year so eliminating both the fall and spring clock changes.
Northern Arizona isn't so bad. I actually really enjoy Flagstaff. Tucson and Phoenix suuuuuuccckkk though. Also, Hiking is only ok in the winter when it isn't 100°+ haha
