However, if you click inside a thread, that is a different story.



I think that is very reasonable for everyone.

The same thing will happen that happens every year: Some talentless "musician" who does not even write their own music but instead sings along to a pre-recorded beat track with generic lyrics that were written in a corporate boardroom will walk away with a ton of trophies while real musical talent will be ignored.

Now you don't have to watch because you know what is going to happen.

The Grammys were "spoiled" whenever someone gave the music business to the lawyers and accountants.

See, I'm on the other side of the International Dateline and the Grammy Awards have already taken place. Sorry for the spoiler, and Imma let you finish, but Adele is the best singer around today.

you play your home games during the DAY so that we don't have to watch the game at midnight, hmmm?

Honestly, it's YOUR choice to live in a non-normal time zone. Last I heard, people have the right to move around within the country -- I think that may be guaranteed by the 14th amendment.

Plus, I believe time zones are chosen by states. If things like this are an issue, you could petition your state government to change your time to normal time. And yes, the eastern time zone IS "normal time" --

The nation's capital is in the normal time zone. The original thirteen colonies are in the normal time zone. And a plurality of the nation's population is in the normal time zone:

Eastern (normal) .......................47.0%
Central........................32.9%
Mountain.......................5.4%
Pacific.........................14.1%
Alaska and Hawaii........0.6 %

Look at that! Not only does the normal time zone contain 47% of the nation's population, but if you combine the normals with the people who live in the Central time zone, you have almost 80% of the population!

So, in short, deal: move to the right side of the country, change your time zone to normal, or stop complaining.
