That’s not lunch though, it’s dinner. It’s not about a work day going across the date, it’s about the changing of the date happening midway through the day. You wouldn’t go to the bank do some stuff during your “lunch” break only to discover you missed the deadline because it went over midnight, or every place you visit has different moments when bills expire, etc, etc. You working a night shift is a completely different scenario, by the time the date crosses over most places that are date sensitive are already closed for the day.

So if you’re not allowed to I assume you get paid overtime if you have to stay after hours because of this, not doing so would be illegal in most countries. Knowing that I would get some friends to come over, play some games chat and do whatever we would normally do until 3/4 AM every Friday, get to hang out with friends and get paid for it, win/win. If asked I would just say “well, my friends came over to see me, and I couldn’t ask them to leave”.

Answer quickly, if noon is 0330 what time is dinner, what is a 9-5 job and what time do you expect to have breakfast. There are lots of adjustments you will need to make, whereas with the current system you know that as a general rule you can expect dinner at around 8, most people to work 9-5, and places to serve breakfast at 8 or 9, so you switch your clock when you arrive and you’re done.

If you’re a local who never moved timezones z then yeah it makes no difference what the numbers are, you would get used to waking up at 9PM and switching date midway through the day, there might even be 2 different words for tomorrow, one for the next day one for the next date, but the moment you traveled to a different location all of your years of being used to general time where things happen go out the window, it’s much more of a hassle than adjusting your clock and assuming times will be mostly similar.

Because that would be a nightmare. “I’ll meet you for lunch at 2AM”, “No, I had a huge breakfast yesterday”. You would need to relearn the times every time you went to a different place, “oh, right, the restaurants only serve lunch until 10AM” or “Sorry sir, but there’s an extra fee for night time services starting 1PM”. Those are much more likely day-to-day phrases than scheduling a meeting with someone from another continent. And you don’t gain anything by this, because whenever you’re communicating across timezones you can simply use UTC as a standard and everyone knows how to convert that to their own time. So there’s no good reason and a lot of drawbacks.

That’s different, your day remains Wednesday their day remains Tuesday, they’re talking about going to lunch on Tuesday and coming back on Wednesday, do you call that your Tuesday lunch? Tuesday Dinner? Wednesday breakfast? Wednesday lunch?

In here is a good place, as you can see you aren’t being censored.

That being said, let me show you how you read by changing a single word:

I’m looking for places with less censorship so we can have actual discussions instead of only allowing comments that support the black agenda.

That level of censorship does not help their cause; it actively hinders it because regular people aren’t allowed to have their own beliefs on the matter. Either they succumb to the hysteria, or they’re ousted.

I’d honestly be surprised if even asking this question didn’t result in censorship. That’s how bad things have gotten.

And there’s no “belief” in the matter, transgender is an understood condition, like ADHD or skin color. You trying to claim transgenders are not people, or that gender is not a social construct is just ridiculous, that’s why you’ll get downvoted or banned, same reason you would get arrested by going somewhere and claiming blacks are not humans, you’re factually incorrect, spreading misinformation and promoting violence, none of which should be tolerated in any civilized society due to the Tolerance Paradox.

Another vote for Silverbullet, it allows you to write your code blocks in a certain manner that you can query them, so it suits very well the use case.

So we would have gone full circle on Mainframes.

I’m surprised no one mentioned My name is Earl, it’s a tv show about a guy who wins the lottery and is immediately hit by a car, he then hears about Karma so he decides to turn his life around by making amends for all of the wrong things he did. It’s a very fun comedy, and it was cancelled on a cliffhanger because the producers specifically asked if they were getting a next season and were told yes.

This one is the one that hurts me the most, because they knew how the ending was going to be, but didn’t got thr chance to film it, and it would have been perfect. Essentially he would have gotten to an item on the list that he just couldn’t do, whenever he tried something would prevent him from doing it, and it would seem that karma was against him. But then someone would come to him wanting to make amends for something they’ve done to him, and he would ask where the person got the idea, and it would be because someone made amends to him, and he would keep pulling at that thread until he found out that he inspired people around him to make their own lists, and those people inspired others, and so on and so forth so he would feel that he finally did more good than bad and would tear up the list and continue with his life. Oh, and the cliffhanger? It wouldn’t matter, it was just going to be an excuse to bring some celebrity, they didn’t even knew who the father was going to be.

PS: if you liked My name is Earl, and you weren’t aware there’s another TV show by the same people called Raising Hope which is the same style of comedy, with a bunch of the same actors, and they make constant references to MNiE.

I always talk about this and also have the feeling no one knows about it. In any case I think I read somewhere that the idea was going to be along the lines of “right before you die you have a moment of clarity where you know everything, John had had a boating accident that led to that moment and he came back from the death”. Honestly knowing what the future looked like sometimes I’m almost glad it got cancelled, because I think that would have been a bit of a boring explanation.

Sure, and by that definition it’s also not magic in LoTR

So? It’s still super advanced technology from our point of view. Next you’ll tell me that Dune, Warhammer 40k or the Empire trilogy by Isaac Asimov are not advanced technology either because they’re stagnant too.

Technology is not the main focus of Star Wars, but they do have super advanced technology.

Huh, I didn’t remember that, guess the movie is like a box of chocolate.

Really? I haven’t watched it in a while, but I don’t remember that scene after the legs but before the run.

I never said Star Wars was sci-fi, it’s not. But it does have super advanced tech which is the issue being discussed.

Trying to read the emoji stories sort of reminds me of Toki-Pona

Absolutely, there are lots of examples, but the first that comes to mind is Warhammer 40k, they have super advanced technology and magic coexisting and sometimes intermingling.

Any universe where they have super advanced tech they’ll treat it like we treat cars, because cars are also super advanced tech, it’s just a tech you see daily and are familiar. How do you expect characters in a super technologically advanced world to react? They see that every day, it’s not news to them.

Which is why I prefer Silberbullet

Primer is a time travel movie with no plot holes. But I don’t think you’re looking for plot holes, there are plenty of movies, even time traveling ones, that don’t have plot holes.
