Why would you automatically doubt this? You are aware there are other places outside where you live, and different things happen there, right?

I'm so much more worried about my future kids' access to toxic alpha male shit and fascist propaganda than I am about porn.

I'm actually surprised at how little they spend on lobbying, even with the recent uptick. It must be the other thing, you know, our representatives are shareholders.

Damn me neither

This is the same fucking thing. It is simultaneously 12:25am MDT and 6:25am GMT where I live. If you ask my computer what time it is, it knows it is 06:25:00-06:00.

Two sides of the same coin buddy.

What you're describing is LITERALLY the system we have. UTC is a global, coordinated time that tracks solar time to a precision of less than a second. As far as my computer is concerned, my time is UTC (technically GMT, but they both refer to the same time) minus 6 hours. We all could choose to say, "hey, wanna meet for dinner at 3AM?" and have that be a normal thing to say in my area, and an odd thing to say odd in Europe... but nobody wants that.

How stoned are you right now

I'm imagining something more fluid, where the time it is depends on exactly where you're standing and the position of the sun in relation to it. You'd need to factor the direction you're traveling as well as the distance whenever you went anywhere. We'd have a lot more intimate relationship with our current celestial situation.

I think they're proposing personal time zones, where every individual's clock shows their precise solar time, and nobody ever manages to be on time to work ever again.

Kinda like the game

Wait, why? Is the TV spying on me any more than my phone, every app I use, my desktop OS, every website I visit, all of my smart home devices, my car, my bank, traffic cameras, and my bottom left molar?

Can't I just slap a PiHole on my home network and pretend I've done something about it?

You are right, of course. There are things we can't condone. But you realize that by saying it you sound exactly like the "all lives matter" response to BLM: technically correct, but oblivious to the context in which the original statement arises. When we say Palestinian lives matter, we aren't saying Israeli lives don't. We're saying that you have forgotten that Palestinian lives even matter at all.
