Not if it smells of Hugh Hefner.

From what I’ve seen, I doubt you’ll find one of those here.

And there’s Tim.

Sorry to respond to this twice, but I have confirmed empirically that a new discourse instance can be set up (manually) in an hour or so. To be fair, I already had a domain and email service, so add a little time for that. I’m sure it could be speedrun in less than an hour with some appropriate route planning.

Yeah there’s a lot of circadian hate going around (headlights these days, house lighting for super confusing fell elements on when it is you’re really holding a dinner party, park lighting that’s 5900 K in color remp.) I dunno, there could be orbital transfer stuff where changing your clock around instead of looking for the one sun in your solar system and when the body of your Dyson Sphere is going to be providing shade checks out. Just make all the legislation outperform the killer web demos with friendly controls on the graphics and it won’t be so tempting to be the Squirrel and Goat Story Provider (c.f. Acting City Animal Health Mugudugu and Kidnapping Pets Talentlessly) to Rest of World.

Scene: In the darkened living room, Cthulhu finally settles down after a long day of dealing with the neighbor’s shenanigans. Goblet of brandy at appendage, a flame lights, and a long exhale emits.

Nyarlathotep suddenly enters, frantically waving… uh, whatever those are.

Nyarlathotep: “Iä! Iä! No cigar on futon!!!”

Focus on Cthulhu, fade to black while audience loses sanity.

(Sorry, it got stuck in my head this morning, had to get it out)

My one year in a place that did the clock switch makes me so very happy I live somewhere that doesn’t. Vancouver is already gloomy in the winter, why change the clocks to make it start getting dark at 3? At least here in Saskatchewan it doesn’t get dark til 5 around the solstice.
