In theory? Yes. In practice? I'll end up scrolling and procrastinating for an unknowable and unreasonable amount of time.
And I don't see your point here. Yes, the train will sometimes be late. But it will never leave early, which means that as long as I'm there by a certain well-defined point, I'll make it onboard.
Time is a tool that can be used for exploitation, but definitely doesn't have to be.
Another Human Time infection. Pretty bad, too. Sad to see.
And if the train’s not gonna follow the schedule I don’t see why I should either. Either time is important and it shows up on schedule or it’s taking the piss and fuck you for being late.
I just hate being somewhere at an arbitrary time but I can’t change that if everyone else has this fascination with clocks and minutes.
Sounds like what you hate is being imposed a strict schedule and (ironically enough) others not adhering to one (resulting in trains being unjustifiably late, as opposed to being justifiably late due to mishaps/accidents).
However, in my experience, having to be somewhere at a set arbitrary time is much less frustrating than having to be there as soon as possible and hoping that the stars aligned.
I hate that the train doesn’t care about me. Neither do the clocks. And frankly people like clocks and trains more than they like me.
Clocks and trains (when handled properly) are consistent and reliable, and the train isn't supposed to wait for one person.
