The rub is which to go with. Some people want the extra hour of daylight after work in the winter. Others want it in the summer because it will maximize their after-hours sunlight in the season when being outside is more realistic.
We already tried permanent DST and it didn’t even last through the first full calendar year before being revoked. And while sticking with one time year-round instead of switching, Standard time is healthier than DST:
The researchers of a study published in September in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences estimate that permanent standard time would prevent about 300,000 cases of stroke per year and result in 2.6 million fewer people having obesity, while permanent daylight saving time would achieve about two-thirds of the same effect.

They’re British, so it should be Not Too Bad Britain.


🍻 and apologies about assuming gender in your original comment.


Ok, you do you.


Excellent use of “show me the study” to discredit someone without providing your own study to back up your contrary point of view.
I didn’t make a claim either way. I just said the OP’s claim was unfounded, and it is unless and until they provide a study that backs it up.
And top notch denial of axes to grind, positioning yourself as neutral whilst criticizing others.
I don’t really know what you mean by denial of axes to grind. I’m not asserting that no circumcised boy has resentment over it. Of course the truth is going to be somewhere between 0% and 100%. I’m just saying we should have some actual data about where that percentage really lies. And I’m not positioning myself as neutral on the topic, I was just pointing out that that specific comment of mine was unrelated to circumcision.
I would love to see non-medically necessary circumcision be a thing of the past, but I’m not going to go and make statistical claims I can’t backup about it.
Might not work in a court of law, but it’s strong internet debate fallacy usage.
What the fuck are you even on about?! OP already conceded that it was an overly broad and hyperbolic claim.


Yeah I can’t say I’m not without some level of discontent over it. I just dislike blanket statements about peoples’ attitudes and opinions without a citation.


It’s founded and a valid assumption.
Cite a study that concludes the number of circumcised boys grow up to resent their parents for it statistically approaches 100%.
edit: I’m not making a value statement one way or the other about circumcising or not circumcising. I’m purely reacting to the claim that a circumcised boy will grow up to resent their parents.


That’s a really broad and unfounded assumption that every circumcised boy grows up to resent their parents over it.


Aside from the hashtag hypothesis, there are multiple timelines on Mastodon: trending, local, and global for example. I’m assuming you didn’t suddenly accidentally start looking at a different timeline but still worth mentioning.


Are you looking at the drop-down for your comment? I’m taking about your account settings. Go to https://lemmy.zip/settings and there should be a list view for Languages that you can multi-select.
Posts and comments where the author doesn’t select a language use undetermined. So you need to also select that to see all those posts.


The language selection on a post/comment doesn’t alter how the content of the post or comment is published. It works in conjunction with the user-level language setting to filter what content other people see. So if you set the language to on your post to Spanish, then the only users who will see it are those who have added either Spanish or Undetermined to the Languages list in their user settings. For everyone who doesn’t have one of those two languages enabled in their settings your post/comment will simply not be displayed.


Is it gonna pop up obnoxiously every time you start the program?
Your choice, there’s a checkbox to ask every time or not
Is it gonna demand that I create a new profile every time I sign in to Google?
I don’t recall anything like that, though I don’t recall that in Chrome either.


No, this is to make the desktop browser profiles work more like Chrome.


The new one is a much better experience. It works like profiles in chrome now. The old one is still there for you to use if you prefer.
