TIL the verb “to shut up” keeps its same form in the past tense (not a native speaker)
I don’t think so. Im like 90% sure it should be “everyone shuts up”
Rules in the English language are an exception, not the rule
No where is open, because everyone went to sleep
this is why i want to live in a big city (for you americans that means larger than 100k people, i don’t mean “tokyo”), you can always find something sensible open even if it’s on the other side of the city, and public transport generally at least somewhat operates even at 3am.
Another thing that needs to change. All the night owls can have their night owl businesses tending to their night owl customers, and the basically-fascist horseshit ideas about nighttime activity being suspicious or illicit can die the deaths they never should have to die because they never should have lived in the first place.
Cut the toxic diurnal people out of your life.
My internet is fast
Was this written in 2002?
No, in some areas it is still very much real. I’ve had several friends who needed to dip around 17:00 or 18:00 because the latency of the online games we played got too variable. This is in Western countries.
It’s a big problem in apartment complexes where one line is CGNAT’d to every apartment. In practice that means 20 people share the same line that a house would have normally, and in the evenings every apartment streaming or gaming can make the speeds shit.
Sucks ass but in the US you can’t do shit because the speeds you pay for are “up to” and if they’re not “up to” that the best you can do is kick rocks.
This also usually coincides with you being able to only get one internet service provider at that apartment, despite that being illegal now. So you’re locked in to shit nighttime service with slow downloads and giga latency
you being able to only get one internet service provider at that apartment, despite that being illegal now
Your option is the Mediocre Internet everyone uses or the Shit Internet that exists pretty much exclusively to fulfill this requirement. Fuck Windstream, somehow managed to be worse than Comcast.
Oooof too true on LTE internet
I have FTTB and I’m glad I haven’t experienced that. Always the 200Mbps that was advertised
Glorious that you’re not over subscribed, that’s how it’s supposed to work!! But if they over sell the pipe or undersize the pipe, or both, Fs in the chat between 7-10
The internet is weird. You’d be surprised at some of the issues that still happen today.
I once had an issue where I couldn’t log into the servers of an MMO, despite my internet being perfectly fine. After much trial and error, I figured out that the reason I couldn’t log in was because while I played on East Coast servers, all login authentification was done through servers at the companies HQ on the West Coast, and there was a local outage of a DNS server or something out in New York somewhere, which meant that I couldn’t reach the login servers. Literally nothing I could do because a line was down several states away and I therefore couldn’t play the game.
Some areas may even rely on LTE.
1-3Mbps vs 30-50Mbps is quite a bit of difference.
It also depends on how oversold the links are. I could easily take guaranteed gigabit and sell it to 2 homes as “Up to 1Gbps”. Or 5 homes. How many people would be using the full bandwidth 24/7 anyway. But it can also be far less reasonable. I can sell it as “Up to x” to as many as I want to. Sure, you may only be getting less than 100Mbps now, but if others stopped using the internet… It’s still validly “Up to 1Gbps”. Maybe you’ll get it, one day, or night.
If you don’t have an SLA, you’ll just have to deal with it.
By the Authority of Night Shift Gremlins HQ thatericalper is hereby stripped of their Night Shift Membership for sharing classified information with Day Walkers. They are also expelled from all Nocturnal Activities under pain of Pain. Should they be seen engaging in nocturnal activity outside of their personal domicile all Night Shift Gremlins in witness are obligated under article 13 subsection Scarlet-7-Mentos-19 to use all necessary force to cease the offending nocturnal activity and return the offender to a NSG approved Class-3 holding cell where they will be held until daybreak when an automated system will release them into the light of day where they rightfully belong. Repeated violations will incur severe non-life threatening yet highly inconvenient punishments.
Thus is our way.
Fuck the Sun. Shun the Day Walkers.

Where my crepuscular homies at?
Shh… if the normies find out you’ll ruin it for all of us.
Oh no, imaging Normie’s coming in at you at 5 AM with u making a sandwich
Early death is what’s not to like.
Source?
Credible sources only of course.
In total transparency it’s one of these fact people in my circle into getting PhDs and reading papers bring up consistently so I never looked it up, something about night shifts correlate high as fuck to lower life expectation, something about stress, sun, heart regulation.
I’ll look something up just for you once I get to a PC.
What if the causation is the other way around?
Iirc that is only true in the sense that being queer does the same. It isn’t anywhere near comparable in severity of course, I’ve never had a single person rant at me for being awake at 3am, but it’s still a constricting society that punishes people for sticking out in big and small ways that causes compounding issues in people.
I’ve tried being nocturnal for some time before I started going to college. I got more productive with my studies, but then my heart rate started acting weird, having spikes in random moments, and I decided to stop. My heart rate returned to normal after that.
Night owls are also an oppressive class. Drag lives somewhere with thin walls and can’t get to sleep until the night owls are ready too. The parties are the worst.
But that’s more of a “assholes being assholes” thing than it is a “the world is dictated by night owls” thing.
No, the problem could easily be solved by builders putting in proper insulation. They’re not assholes for preferring a different schedule to drag. But the decisions of the political class to permit bad insulation have forced them into conflict with drag in which drag is oppressed. Politicians have transformed drag’s neighbours into oppressors.
Life pro tip for those nocturnal. Even those nocturnal folks need to mow their lawns. For modestly sized lawns, a scythe can be a great option! It’s also perfectly legal to mow your lawn with a scythe at three in the morning, dressed in a long black hooded robe.
To have some visibility, you can use one or two of these head strap lights. But make sure they are red, to not lose night vision
You’re making me miss third shift, sort of. I don’t know if I would ever go back to it again. There was something so peaceful about being up during the night, though. I miss it sometimes.

We know that people have different chronotypes. We even know that most people of working age aren’t really morning people. Unfortunately, our business world assumes a standard circadian rhythm and is structured around getting up early because people needed to use every bit of daylight way back when. So that sucks, especially if you’re an evening or even night person.
I find I’m the most productive at 3am. It’s a real shame that I’m forced to sleep through it.
Woah same! I start doing things around 11 PM and then do them until about 5, which is real nice when you’re alone…
If other people using the internet is slowing down your connection, maybe it’s time to finally ditch cable (if you’re able to). Fiber is ideal, but even 5G fixed wireless is faster than cable, even during peak periods.
