    I wish, Toronto is too far east in its timezone so the sun is up too early and goes down too early

      Lol what? Toronto is basically smack dab in the centre of the eastern time zone, if anything it’s a little west of the true centre which I think is NYC

    One of the reasons why i vehemently hate summer. The other one is temperature. And another one is people. Too much people.

    I like longer daylight it’s key to me being happy, but I have a car now with led strips all over and I rarely get to drive at night so be nice to drive home again in the dark in winter

        The problem is not of stupidity, but of concerted efforts by fossil fuel lobbies to muddy the research, create anti-green propaganda, climate science denialism, hide determinant research about climate change, and lobby politicians who are against the fight on climate change.

            No, it’s for Actually Existing Socialism, no idea what a student loan provider is, probably something too USian for me to understand. My bachelor university studies in Spain costed less than 6000€ total including tuition and the few books I had to buy, and my master’s costed around 1500€. That’s without any disability/income price reduction, highest price a Spaniard will pay for public university (around the mid-2010s)

    But more evening sun means better light for evening events. I don’t know of too many early morning events other than work/commute and fuck the boss’ extra 5% productivity from the average person, I’d rather drive in the dark.

        Your logic doesn’t make sense. In other threads you’re arguing that you can’t go out when it’s hot, so stay inside instead. That’s how you get ready for bed anyway, by staying inside. How does the sunsun staying up later change your night routine at all?

        Guess what it does do? Make afternoon outdoor activities much safer. Biking, rock climbing, running, literally any outdoor activity is much safer in daylight.

          Youre assuming

          1. I never want to go outside. That it would be healthy to do that.

          I want to avoid the sun. Dinner outside at my favorite restaurant, fucking on a famous homophobe’s grave, third outdoor activity normal people do.

          2A. Afternoon activities

          So do them in rhe afternoon during the two hours it’s light out!

          2B. Safer!

          Heat and heat stroke are hazards too.

          1. Staying inside is good for sleeping anyway

          Not everyone lives like you. Im gonna use the only time it feels nice to go outside to go outside, instead of rotting in bed forever.

            Your logic gets more and more obtuse. You want to go outside, but you want to avoid the sun, you want to do activities outside, but only in a two hour timespan (completely ignoring commuting and that many activities take longer than that). You talk about heat stroke like it’s happening to every single person who goes outside.

            Not everyone lives like you. Im gonna use the only time it feels nice to go outside to go outside, instead of rotting in bed forever.

            This comment makes even less sense. You want to be outside, but you don’t want sun, but you want to sleep when it’s 8 pm, but that’s the coolest time of the day if it’s not dst. Like seriously, none of your argument makes sense. And fyi, I spend the majority of my day outside. Even working from home, I’ll work in a hammock outside. But I’m also not the average person. The average person commutes to a location to work and then has to come back home, get ready for their activities and then go from there. All of your suggestions are completely at odds with that.

            And fyi, shade exists. This is honestly one of the most troll conversations I’ve ever participated in, acting like the sun burns you the second you step outside and you want to be outside without the sun. If you want to be outside without the sun then go out when it’s dark. You can wake up at your normal 5am time and get a great amount of dark cool weather. And the rest of us can live normally.

      You are wrong and i prefer the outdoors being remotely habitable.

      Even at like -40, theres gear to make it tolerable. At 100f/40c, it’s just an oven, and even survivors will need shower+salt

        1. You can adapt to high temps. Drink water and consume enough electrolytes, and your body will learn to be more adept at keeping itself cool. Meanwhile, your brain will get used to high temps. The problem is that you are avoiding the heat, which means your body never adapts.

        2. For heavy exercise, simply do it earlier or later in the day when temps are cooler. Warmer regions developed the siesta for a reason.

        3. If you really hate it so much, move.

          You can ada0t to medium high temps. You can survive 90f, even 100f.

          You cannot adapt to 115f. You go inside, or you die.

          hate it so much, move

          Okay so you don’t understand that youre talking to anither human and just think disagreement is a kind of attack.

            No. I think that moving is an underutilized option. If you live in Alaska but hate the cold, move. If you live in Alabama but hate gun nuts, move. If you live in Briton and hate… being miserable as a lifestyle, then move!

            Like, there are all sorts of ways to mitigate unhappiness. But at the end of the day, if something intrinsic to the place you live is really making you unhappy, then there is an obvious answer.

                All I can say to that is - can’t do attitudes can’t do anything. You created a list of problems, and are acting like they are unsolveable, instead of seeing them as a checklist of things to get done to obtain a better life.

        It’s hot & humid here in the subtropics but even so I love this season the most. I was born here and grew up without AC so adapted I guess. Being still in the shade with a breeze I am comfortable up to a pretty high temp but here the summer has afternoon storms that cool it a little so the evening, while hot, is usually 25-27 not 40.

        Our indoor AC is set to 26. That feels cool enough in the summer, so evening is comfortable.

        I cannot get comfortable in the cold, no amount of clothing seems to work, I just don’t generate that much heat.

        Riding home on the bike is MUCH safer in the daylight too.

          safer

          Coward! More seriously; solvable by making car use dangerous.

          40

          40 is a lot, but thats kind of the upper limit. Lot of places get hotter than that now.

          not endothermic

          Oh, cool toy time! get chemical warmers, battery warmer, etc. They exist and are simple.

        The time doesn’t affect the weather. It’s still going to be hot or cold out for the exact same length of time. Time zone changes only affect whether you’re working or playing at those times. I’d rather have the option than be forced to be working when the sun is out.

          Living by our kinda-bullshit abstractions we made to describe reality and avoid deeper understanding as if that were material reality, in defiance of material reality.
