I would venture to guess it had to do with noon. It would have always been easy to say sunrise, sunset or noon even before a clock or sundial were invented. Remember there were no aircraft flying through the timeshifts. The effects of time on long distance travel were negligable if noticeable at all. Communications also traveled slowly. Once technology introduced clocks, you could see how your noon no longer aligned with the sun a couple hundred miles east or west. Your clock would not match the place you are visiting as noon had hands both pointing straight up as where the sun would also be located at that time. Your question only becomes relevant when we get light speed communication like radio and telegraph.

“Good afternoon German friend how is the weather today?” “WHY ARE YOU RINGING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, AMERICAN FRIEND!?” Not a real conversation, but you can imagine.

The answer: people hate change.

For a long time, the One Blade was the only razor that didn’t pull my hair. Then they changed how they made them and started pulling. I no longer use it.

That looks like a healthy cry. She will go through much self reflection and come about as a better person.

Nope! She has spent her life with a religious as her backbone and now will seek it as a crutch with greater desparation. Trauma…survival mode…etc…

You, for being such a whiny little bitch of a sore loser.

We would make it too complicated. Almost all animals are in survival mode. Some that have free time could understand limited concepts. It would be easier to setup commerce with some corvids for example but not to keep them out of the corn fields. Dogs would have a lot more anxiety and cats wouldn’t change much.

The plate wasn’t a little bitch like you.

The internet was so full of life and learning.

The “none pizza, left beef” story got me pretty good when it origionally posted.

I think what you are calling toys are what I would call addictions. They can get innovative with finding ways to access those addictions, but really they just want that mind numbing, repetative flashing lights and noises. Anything to shut down and avoid thinking, like a bunch of zombies.

Sorry. That’s just the rant of a 7th grade teacher.

Not going back home. Driving up home costs for working families.

I don’t understand your explanation of your habit. It comes off as you don’t like vegetables and are choking them down to get to what you like. Is that a correct interpretation? My wife just made the best dinner and all three items were green vegetables.

It went to voicemail.

I was accustomed to google maps opening the phone and showing a number when I clicked on call. Yesterday it skipped that step and went straight to calling.

I am teaching this next week. It is sometimes painful how simplified we have to make content for middle school. You are expressing what science teachers hope for from students. You were curious enough to explore further and ask questions, the true purpose of science.

This is painful.

I recommend cocaine.

Nah. That was the classical period of the internet with great leaps in learning and creativity. Now it is the middle ages where capitalism/feudalism wrecked all sense of community.

Voting for lesser evil just slows down the evil, it doesn’t reverse it. It’s still going in the wrong direction.

You get a gold star for that.

I haven’t figured out how to get mine to where I was on reddit back in the day. I struggle with finding communities. I often find dead communities. I often can’t find communities I’ve come across in the past when using the search to specifically find them. Any tips on how to solve this labyrinth?
