Sorry, I answered without giving enough thought. You are right in your reasoning of course.
Still, I find it confusing to have 2 completely different moments of the day represented by the same number.
In phrases like “After 12 PM on Monday”, “Before 12 AM” etc. I always need to think an extra second.
Another example is setting automatic responder on the mail, where I need to rely on 11:59, because the date is selected before the time of day.
Everything before midday is AM, etc. etc.

He looks like an action figure.
Right, that’s another one.
You could just as well say the opposite.
Or indie games.
What is the logic for distinguishing 12AM vs 12PM? Also, you have double of every element and need 2 more sillables each to distinguish.
It’s confusing and inefficient.
I use 24h all the time when speaking, never got strange gazes for doing so. And I never remember which one is midday and which is midnight on the 12-hour time.
Oh, even I create maps with my cousin still. Playing though…
AM/PM time is another thing that needs to sink with the USA, just like the Imperial system and Fahrenheit.
Sorry to break it for you, but no one actually plays Doom anymore.
We made physical toys and games into something expensive for adults and kicked kids out of the equation.
Now all they have are videogames and the most affordable ones (the ones on PC) are soon to disappear.
That request from Trump was a “test of spine”.
Now that he made sure she has none, she will be chewed with the rest.
I feel so good I left Epic Games Store and deleted my profile and asked to delete all my data last year!
No no, you’re thinking of circumvallation. This is about traveling around the entire globe by ship.
I am Italian and I find Piracy Shield an abomination.
That said, the consequence after the government enacts this should be to see at least all the technically informed people protesting vehemently if not violently.
Instead no, sofa is just too comfortable and pay is too high (including the one they get from public contracts), so let’s instead applaud the Elon-yapping corpo that decides this is the one rule to challenge, but not the next one that is to their advantage.
This podcast episode explains very well Exxon’s logic: https://pca.st/episode/d7084179-677a-4c82-ac90-c53cf28110c4
I never thought I would be on an oil company’s side in a discussion in my life.
Italian in Denmark here.
I thank you so much for this! I am amazed at the dependence of all facets of social life and information on Meta and Google’s properties.
I am cut out of my building’s initiatives because I don’t have a Facebook account. There are no events (such as dance events, protests, etc) published anywhere else than on Facebook’s Events.
When I propose to be contacted on Signal people look at me as if I was an alien.
You are doing God’s work, as a Christian would say.
So you call them 2 different things. Good. Now imagine doing the same for all the other numbers in between. That is what I get by “speaking 24 hours”. And it takes less sillables.
