when times are given as PST during daylight savings time, you can never be quite sure whether they actually mean PST or if they mean PDT

@Felthry yep >_<;

it's almost worse with MST, because the settler-occupied parts of Arizona actually /are/ on MST during the summer because they don't use daylight saving time at all

@packbat yeah with that one it's more ambiguous, at least with PST we can realize they probably meant PDT and didn't know that DST means it's a different timezone

@Felthry *nods*

daylight saving time is terrible and we wish it wasn't a thing

@packbat @Felthry this one's fun because of how confetti the borders of Navajo Nation are. No idea if it causes problems in practice, but.

@Felthry this is why I just drop the S or D when talking about those time zones with folks (so, PT, MT, CT, ET). Ideally we'd get rid of DST altogether but I don't think that's happening anytime soon
