Yeah it's just being angry about the fact that the Earth is rotating ball. Wanting to abolish timezones is different from Flat Earth only be degrees.

Sure the "what time is it there?" question goes away, but it's replaced by "what are your business hours?"

Ultimately it will be daytime in one part of the world while it's night in another part of the world. That will always cause problems.

This is actually the best approach.

Obviously they are getting timezone information otherwise the app could only display whatever time the user entered in.

If you want to sort things by the actual time, it's simple and performant if all of the times are in the same timezone, and UTC would be the standard one to use. Pushing the timezone calculations to the client makes sense because the UTC time is correct, it's just a matter of displaying it in a user friendly way, ie. show the time in the user's timezone.

Tankie being triggered by reality... tale as old as... well not time... but as old as Stalin anyway.

I mean the alternative is literally fascism. Not the silly internet "fascism" that's just about someone that disagrees with you that you perceive is right of you on some silly made up political spectrum. Actual full blown fascism.

So yeah you need to vote for Joe Biden.

Wow it's almost like Kyle Rittenhouse might be a piece of shit.

Apparenlty telling your customers to go fuck themselves isn't a good business strategy.

Basically that's what they did with Ocean's 11. The original Frank Sinatra version was shit. But it was a good idea, a crew of super cool dudes get together to rob a casino.

They remade it and it was very successful.

The Thing has a similar origin.

But it's rare things like that happen because Hollywood execs usually need an existing property with good numbers to greenlight a movie.

The only time in the history of NATO that article 5 was invoked was on September 12, 2001.

NATO countries sent soldiers to Afghanistan in support of the US. A two decades long war. I'm personally from a NATO country and have two family members that have PTSD because my country honored the agreement and supported the US after it was attacked.

The US has never engaged in a war to support any NATO members. NATO members have engaged in a war to support the US.

Recruitment numbers are down in my country in large part because of how the war in Afghanistan turned out. That was in large part due to the US going on a little side adventure into Iraq. Because of this, even though my country is purchasing equipment from the US defense Industrial complex (which if we're being real, is what the goal is) we don't have enough military personnel to operate that equipment.

So with all that, shitheads in the US complain about my countries "not pulling their weight". We've been sending our people to fight in a US war for two fucking decades because that's what allies do, but then shitheads in the US don't care about that, they only care about how much money is coming from NATO to the US defense industrial complex? It's craven.

And Russia propaganda and election interference is happening in every NATO country. For the same reason that there are many in the US don't think the US should support Ukraine, there's many people in other NATO countries that think the same because of the same Russian propaganda effort. Instead of being hyper-focused on the revenues of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, maybe think a little more about who the real enemy.

Yeah that's the only way it makes sense.

I mean if you have a functioning phone and you felt you were in danger, would you sit around waiting for someone to call you?

Our guy was obviously having a merry old time out hiking, and ignoring unknown numbers. Then only found out later someone else was freaked out about him being lost.

But a story like that isn't going to get shared as a facebook meme...

Also it's actually not that hard to quit smoking. I've quit smoking four times.

I wouldn't say it's leftist, though there's a lot of leftists here. Lemmy is more like how internet discussion boards used to be. There's a lot of people with weird opinions on things, and there's no Reddit Karma pushing people to conform to the consensus. So people are going to have weird takes on things, and there's not 1000 comments upvoted above the weird ones, so you're going to see comments like that. So reply to with you your weird opinions on those weird comments.

Welcome to the version internet that's not pre-packaged and filtered to be bland!
