Do you like the time change, or do you want to stick to standard time?

[–] rc__buggy 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My preference is to stick to standard. If people insist on DST I acquiesce.

I know I could just go live in Arizona, but then I'd have to live in Arizona.

Flagstaff is nice. Williams and Winslow are nice if you're fully remote. Anything South of Camp Verde or Prescott is just ridiculous though.

No. Fuck them. If I'm get a Spring Forward I'm owed a goddamned Fall Back. I spend half a year with an hour's deficit so people going home to watch Netflix after work can pretend they give a damn about an extra hour of sunlight.

Give me Standard Time or pay to move my ass to the West a couple hundred miles to fix it.

Holding that opinion, I am reasonably sure you do not live on the eastern edge of your time zone. Being that militant about it, I reasonably believe you live all the way on the western edge.

That being the case, there's an easier solution. Just redraw the timezone boundaries so your state is just west of the boundary instead of just east, which leaves you on "standard time" in your current timezone, which is "daylight time" to your west.
