I think all time should be Daylight Savings Time.

[Ray]

I half agree with ironbaby. I love having daylight savings time because of fall back. Spring forward sucks though lol I know joy has feels on this

Peanut butter on burgers and hot dogs is amazing.

I know, I know, food UO but that's all I've got.

[nuggetrn]

ironbaby I am currently hating how incredibly dark it is at 5 o'clock. Hating it.

[Deleted]

Ray, no pb on meat/fake meat, I do have a cousin that swears pb on bologna is tasty- dnw

I think time change is ridiculous and unnecessary

UO? I don't need a fancy adult coloring book to get me excited, a child's one works just fine

NEGATIVE.

I'm so so so so so so so tired of people complaining about the time change (not directed at you since you aren't complaining, merely stating a thought).

All the time change does is ensure that normal working hours are daylight hours.  If we stayed on DST, then the sun would be coming up as late as 8am and setting at 5pm.  So, we go back one hour and now the latest the sun comes up is 7am and it goes down around 4pm.  Once the days get longer, we have more wiggle room with what time things are happening, but falling back in fall makes perfect sense.

I will say there's probably an argument for staying solely on Standard Time, but I love that the sun stays up until nearly 9am on the longest days.  Yay sunlight!!!

That's why I was DST all the time, though. I need sunlight! I despise getting out of work at 5 and never seeing the sun. If the sun set at 6pm instead of 5pm, I'd at least get to see it .

But you have to think about the other end.  You'll be going to work in the dark as the sun won't come up until after 8am.

I get up at 5:30 every morning so while I'm now getting a little bit of sunrise on my way to work, it'll be dark within a few weeks anyway. I'd much rather have sun after work.

[ironbaby]

@kellbell, I'm with you on the coloring books. Too many tiny areas to color. Gimme princesses any day. Not that I spend much time coloring...

UO? I am tired of Disney adding new princesses. I feel like it just dilutes the magic. Gimme the classics: Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, and Ariel.

That being said, I do think it's good that at least they are getting more diverse.

It's just a matter of choice on where to put the sunlight.  The powers that be want it in the morning "for the kids!"  They want students to go to school while the sun is up, which is impossible if we stay on DST.  Personally, I'd hate having to go to work in the dark and also come home in the dark.  I leave for work around 8am and definitely don't leave until well after 6pm.  I'd never see the sun in winter if it came up so late :-(

It just sucks that days get shorter, honestly.  I wish they didn't.  Imma move to Iceland where the sun stays up for 20 hours in the summer.

+1 but add a pretzel bun. I've never had it on a hot dog though.

I don't like Black Friday shopping. Don't get me started on stores that open on Thanksgiving.

I think the Christmas season should start AFTER Thanksgiving. DNW Christmas decorations, lights, trees, etc. in stores immediately after Halloween.

+1 for light after work, and +1 for preferring standardized time. It is always a problem this time of year and then spring syncing with vendors in countries that don't change!!

[joy]

Blah. Some people will never get light after work!! Leaving work at 5pm isn't universal. Many people work later than 6pm. I would never see the sun if we stayed on DST.

Black Friday doesn't bother me, but for the sake of everyone that now has to work on Thanksgiving or at midnight Friday, I wish stores would go back to when they all opened at 4 or 5am on Black Friday. It was like a big kick-off to Christmas rather than creeping into Thanksgiving.

[♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪]

I used to like the excitement of Black Friday, but it seems like it has lost its appeal. There are a few items I will plan a route for and go out to purchase, but most of my "what a deal!" shopping is done online. I tend to buy things for myself on Black Friday. Haha!

Will never shop on Thanksgiving. Newp.

Seeing joy in the UO thread means I see the Elphaba avatar in proximity to the word popular and get "Popular" from Wicked stuck in my head. EVERY. TIME. Thanks a lot Joy

YES! DNW to get elbowed in the face over electronics the day after Thanksgiving.

I have all the feels for Cyber Monday.

Cyber Monday is the greatest.

I hate going to real stores in general, NEVERMIND when there are hordes of crazy people fighting over shit. NO THANK YOU.

[joy]

I don't think I've ever wanted something so much that I was willing to wait in a gargantuan line, overnight, in the cold with thousands of other people who might trample me.

Maybe World Series tickets for the Phils... I'd consider it, but still probably say "It'll be on TV."

Thanksgiving is for FAMILY. It is one of the few non religious federal holidays that people used to get off across the board (minus emergency services). STOP BRINGING BLACK FRIDAY INTO THURSDAY! These people deserve time with their families as well!

I have all the black Friday feels.

[ohinvrtedworld]

Black Friday is fun. When it starts at like 5 am. /gavel

My UO is that I don't feel like when you get a tattoo, it has to have some deep meaning for your life. If you just get a huge ship because it looks cool and you like ships, people shouldn't be too perplexed because it doesn't symbolize something.

I don't know if it's really a UO, I just see people ask what people's tattoos mean all the time, and I feel like they are confused when someone gets a giraffe just because they thought it was cute!

[goldenlove3]

I have never and will never go shopping on black Friday. My cousin begs me every year. Nope. I'd rather enjoy my family time and food and sleep. You don't even have to wait for Monday for online shopping. We have gotten black Friday deals online on Friday.

[butlerfan]

I have been doing the Black Friday sales but have it shipped to me from ordering online for the most part. I will then go to the store for items that we are looking for ourselves such as jeans are really on sale lets try some on and buy them for really cheap.

It doesn't help that I have Christmas and like 7 birthdays between now and end of January as well.

[notagoddess]

I am seriously upset that people participate in Black Friday shopping on Thanksgiving. Stores wouldn't open if people refused to shop. Is your extra savings on that big-screen TV really worth separating families on Thanksgiving? Ugh.

[icedtea]

I did Black Friday a couple years in a row with my aunt. It was a lot of fun since I didn't really want anything, we just hung out with hot chocolate and made friends with people in line. One time we were behind a few bouncers from local strip clubs and they promised to protect us (and they did!).

Cyber Monday is where it's at, though.

[ellabee]

I have a friend who works for the company that makes the Ninja blenders and Shark vacuums. He told me that they have a specific SKU for Black Friday products and intentionally make them with cheaper parts. Ever since then, I've been wary of all Black Friday deals.

Meh for me on the time change. I like it less now that I have DD and have to worry about her getting up/falling asleep extra early/late for a few days.

Peanut butter should not be combined with meat unless it is some sort of asian/thai satay thing.
