After a complicated chain of events, I discovered the Deathwatch page of the Archiveteam wiki. It's basically a collection of dying and dead websites.

It feels like I'm walking through the graveyard of the internet...

Oof, I did NOT adjust to the Daylight Savings change last night well at all. Throw in some nightmare/sleep paralysis and baby, you got a stew goin'. I am not a cognitively functional human being today.

Glad I knew at least enough what sleep paralysis is and recognize it pretty quick when it happens, and also that I realized I was dreaming several times as I shunted between sleep and wakefulness.

I had a thread about this once, we noticed that not everybody changes their clock on the same date.

Wish I'd known how to sleep for a week at a time near the start of the pandemic! Whew, what did I miss?

Heh, really? Does the US change to daylight savings time one week later than Europe?

Yeah. We ticked over from Saturday into Sunday this last weekend. Sunday's just the first day I had to make any choices related to it.

Clearly I chose... Poorly.

Yeah, it was yesterday or something. Apparently I'm so divorced from anything except my alarm clock at this point I didn't even notice until I saw a clock that hadn't automatically changed.

Feds need to hurry up and get off their ass and sign the junk that lets the states ignore that horseshit, so we can bury the nuisance and be done with it.

Peak first world depression problems.

Everyone in my inbox has a way better email signature than. I legit feel inferior because I am terrible at/do not think of presenting myself better in general. Big logic leap I know, ugh.

I for one hate daylight savings as it fucks up my sleep.

"Daylight Saving Time" is a great study in marketing. It's really "daylight shifting time."

It's also a great example of a policy that is given across a large geography/population which is not appropriate for even a majority of that area.  It has different and significant effects depending on both latitude and longitude.  This is why nobody can agree on it.


What I really came here for though was the various shortage of certain Christmas gifts. Well more specifically, not a shortage but a shortage at reasonable prices; I'm not paying twice retail for goods that were purchased by scalpers.  I'm trying to understand why this is not prevented by the simple act of refusing to post those items for resale on various websites.

I'd estimate that if even just Amazon and Walmart refused to resell those goods, the scalping would stop because the difficulty in getting sales would be so much higher it would not be as profitable.

On the other side: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL, PLEASE STOP BUYING THINGS (houses, cars, electronics, whatever!) FOR MORE THAN THEIR ORIGINAL ASKING PRICE!  You only have yourselves to blame for high prices, because you keep paying them!

Actually I'm pretty sure something like a supermajority of all relevant populations actually can agree on it: Specifically that they want nothing to do with it and want it to stop being observed and go away forever :P

My Mom, apropos nothing, decided to come over today and give me Chicken Linguini with stuffing. That's not the mildly upsetting part.

The recipe she used included putting corn and peas mixed in with the linguini. That's also not the mildly upsetting part.

The mildly upsetting part is that just looking at the meal with the added in corn and peas, my brain is just yelling at me to throw it away. Like, I developed a ridiculous bias against vegetables as a child, and even as an adult whose tastes have changed, and I can put the corn and peas into my mouth and taste them and objectively think "This isn't that bad, it's pretty decent actually", I can't help but just look at them and my brain is screaming at me to just immediately put it into the garbage. I'm mildly upset at myself for retaining my immature taste in food all the way up into almost middle age. Perhaps it'd just require more exposure, but I wish I could fully appreciate the added taste and texture the corn and peas give to the meal without wanting to destroy them irrationally. I'd like that with all vegetables.

Except for brussel sprouts, even to this day I think cooked brussel sprouts smell like burning garbage.
