A society that does not accept the blame of not being able to curb the pressure of foreign propaganda also has no hope.

Boycotts are not enough, but in combination with girlcotts they are very efficient.
I’ll see myself out.
I don’t think it knows the full sentence, it just doesn’t search for the words in the order they will be in the sentence. It finds the end-words first to make the poem rhyme, than looks for the rest of the words. I do it this way as well just like many other people trying to create any kind of rhyming text.
She’s mostly asking her coworkers to speak up.
I don’t think it works like that. Many top politicians crumble under much less stress, especially those trying to be on the right side of history.
That probably depends on where you live and what’s your job. For many people it’s impossible to get up after the sun rises anyway, if they want to be at work on time. I can imagine it could be locally advantageous though.
I think that would be as hard to achive as the abolition of time changes, maybe harder. I can already see all the emotions that would stir, the irrational fears of being more tired, the hatred of change in general… It could happen, but I don’t think it’s the easier way.
But solving the problem first would make us keep changing the time twice a year for a much longer time. I suggest getting rid of time changes first.
Most young children do need to be walked to school, or pre-school, if you will, and not just that - parents need to make sure that they had a proper breakfest, that they got dressed well, that they brushed their teeth, that door must be locked properly, the lights turned off… Young children are still learning basic things each in their own pace, and although they can often do a lot by themselves, they cannot be relied on completely - the parents are the ones with the responsibility. They cannot just leave and let their pre-shool or young school child take care of everything.
Yes, everyone has their preferences and it’s anoying if you’re not in the prefered group. If one group is much larger, I think it’s good to consider their needs a bit more though in this particular case. It’s also healthy to discuss compromises, which do exist even in this case.
The matter can also be much more complicated than just one prefers this and one prefers the other - I think we’re just scratching the surface. I’m not sure about all the sociological, psychological and economic implications.
I prefer the summer time myself, but I’d happily support any winter time iniciative if it seemed like it was getting traction, because I just hate the time changes so much.
I’m from Europe. I don’t know any completely apolitical people, really. Everyone has heard of some political topic and most of the topics make people feel strong emotions, based on which they form their opinions. In my country, the people from group 2 are not organized by themselves, but they are being successfully manipulated by rich populists. They are the majority and they are the group you need to win over to win any elections.
We’ll see. I hope you’re right. I’m just less optimistic.
You’re right.
Extremely impractical internationally?
Most people work or go to school in the morning. They can get up an hour earlier, but then they have just this one hour that they can enjoy before going to work. It’s not enought to meet friends, go for a longer walk or trip, or anything really. If the enjoyable hoir moves to the afternoon, it can be merged with the rest of the evening spare time and enjoyed better.
What’s so special about sunrise though? The sunset influences our lives greatly as well. I understand 8am is better than 9am for outdoor workers, because they can start working at the same time as other people.
Yes, I suffer greatly every time. My inner clock is very strong and is not willing to adapt.
I like this.
Getting up earlier doesn’t give you the opportunity to enjoy all the free-time outdoor activities that are possible in the afternoon after school or work. It’s good enough for things like going for a short walk or run by yourself. But it’s not good for any organized team activities, activities dependent on other people being at work, activities that need more time - like when you need to drive somewhere, you don’t mind to return later when it’s dark in the evening, but you don’t have enough time in the morning, because you need to get to work or school in time, so it all becomes kind of stressful…
Do go for the shitty admins with no mercy though. We don’t need Wiki to slowly rot from the inside.
