Hello, this is where I drop anything specifically furry or risque. I myself am an ordinary adult male that likes storytelling, art, and physical activity.
Picture of post time skip Anion and Cindi. I've been wanting to show off the size difference between these two for awhile, and thanks to @AWDtwit , I'm finally able to do that.
Thanks again for the commission dude. Suffice it to say, I very much appreciate it!
@SupportStandard@rawhide_dutch So no, this isn't really a valid point. The fact that you looked this up means that you likely know what caused it, and thus why it isn't really applicable.
@SupportStandard@rawhide_dutch This sentiment was fueled by high profile news stories accidents involving kids walking to school. In 1974, roughly half of all kids walked to school. Now, well less than 10% of all school children walk to school. In most cases that's voluntary rather than a lack of options.
@EdgeAnion@mr_jay_pea Which is precisely why DST Utah is significantly healthier than standard time AZ. It ain't the clocks. People guzzling beer, smoking pot, eating Big Macs are telling us the clock will kill us.
@mr_jay_pea No, permanent DST would not mean kids are standing around in pure darkness in the winter. Sunrise is when the sun is fully over the horizon. Dawn takes place upto 90 minutes before that in Winter.
By 730AM in most areas light would be on par with early evening, not pitch black.
@mr_jay_pea Because you morons keep parroting the same talking points.
No, standard time is not accurate to solar noon. It is only accurate to mean average noon on New Year's Day at certain latitudes and deviates by an additional minute per day after that.
@markdpace@SenateGOP Which may not seem like much but Sunrise is the time by which sun is fully over the horizon, not when light first appears. That process can last quite a long time, so you'll have close to full sunlight by the time kids are getting onto busses regardless.
@markdpace@SenateGOP And it wouldn't last especially long. Through most of late December and January you gain roughly a minute of daylight daily.
If full Sunrise is at 8:20 AM on the Winter solstice at your location, then by January 31st it would be roughly around 7:47 AM.
@mr_jay_pea Ahh yes, restore Standard Time and people will 'naturally' wake up for a 4AM dawn in June and sleep for 14 hours straight every December.

@mr_jay_pea Now, it's understandable why they would want that, but insisting it has anything to do with light is silly.
There can be a difference in excess of 8 hours between the longest and shortest night of the year. Sleep patterns aren't going to match that, ever.
@mr_jay_pea The experts aren't being honest. They keep trying to attribute these things to light levels and all sorts of things that are so incredibly variable that they're basically non-factors.
The reality is, they want to go to bed and get up early, they think constant ST gets them that.
@JulesDiner Are you still on this stupid bent?
What's your logic here? We're going to lose up to seven hours of daylight in the evening anyway, might as well make it an even eight?
Are you just cycling through things at random hoping that something will stick?
@ToonHive It hasn't. Theaters get their cut and that cut increases after the first week. It's going to have to linger in theaters for ages to make it's budget back.
@RogerSeheult Working class Americans that want more daylight hours to, you know - have a life?
People that actually know how our time system works.
People that don't want to be told they should be sleeping for 16 a day every December by people that think we should be living like the Amish.
@Mastergodai The real revelation is that Valve announced a major globalscale consumer product release only months away, without securing contracts on components.
Most companies put in orders up to a year ahead of time. Grabbing whatever at the last minute is amateur hour territory.
@Mastergodai I wouldn't take the part about RAM prices too seriously. Valve is still trying to give themselves cover for the price of their console.
While RAM prices haven't come down in price much, prices have largely been holding stable for awhile.
@tengyanAI Five months is a long time in this field. Time they could have used to further refine their models. Instead they spent it in a giant larp that was almost entirely unnecessary.
@tengyanAI The big mistake was taking a model that was ready around March and holding it up all the way to July. Sure, that wasn't entirely their fault, but they were the ones going around making their model out to be apocalyptic.
