I can't believe people are still bothered by daylight savings. I get it if you have kids. That's a different kettle of fish but gee if you're a grown arse adult I can think of a million and one other things to be shitty about.
WA had a three year trial from 2007-2009. It was fine, but they had a referendum and voted against adopting it. But everyone spent three years talking about it.
I moved to Melbourne in 2008. Melbourne didn't talk about Daylight Savings by comparison, nobody seemed to mention it at all. You just adjusted your clocks and went about your day. It was refreshing. By about 2012, most of the clocks would adjust themselves.
Most Melburnians just get on with it but there were a few complaints on the lesser dt a few days ago. I hate wowsers.

Bought a lil indie game called Tiny Glade. Super fucking chill, no management, no quests, no objectives. Just some basic tools, cute, tilt-shifted graphics, and you build a tiny lil town. It's adorable and so so relaxing. I was worried for a moment about it being perhaps too barebones, but I've built a main street, a lil castle, raised some land and made a flower hill with a lake, and made a silo. There's a lot they could add, but it's a bit procedural in a way (increasing/decreasing the size and shape of a building causes it to generate to make sense). Coloured everything I could colour. I have so much more to build for my little hamlet

was kinda invited ( a plus 1 ) to fam b'day party
but near everyone there hates me, even had people shun me or call me names. mil constantly disses and baits me with hate , and many are raging bigots/haters
but I kinda understand and like the b'day girl, she tries hard to be a good person ( tho she never contacts me , i never contact her )
don't want to go, won't go, but will send gifts because maybe one day they will learn to look at how people behave and learn to not listen to gossip
Go. For the birthday girl. Take yourself and a niceish gift and leave when you're done.
