  You guys getting permanent DST? I’m so fucking jealous. Winter time here means dark by 4 PM and it doesn’t even make sunrise early enough to see it after work.

  The messy bit is calculating how long ago something was in the past or how far in the future

  It took Steam more like a decade till people didn’t hate it tbh. Does nobody remember the steam logo anal gif? Steam was forced on anyone who wanted to play HL2 and nobody liked it.

  Idk, the mosquitoes at my place this year are so plentiful and small (hard to hit) that multiple people have asked me where the fuck those are coming from.

  If you live in the suburbs of a big city you don’t know what mosquitoes are. I live next to the forest and this summer the forest is nearly impassable on foot or bicycle apparently. Which kinda sucks because I wanted to go foraging for mushrooms soon.

  I’m sure they’ll still find some way to get out of the house and bother me when I’m outside.
