Remember that repentance, atonement + attaining forgiveness are not the same thing. Focus on the first. 1) Own the harm, fully + completely 2) Begin to work to change for real, addressing root causes via therapy + education 3) AMENDS in convo w/SA experts* cot'd + *DON'T APPROACH VICTIM UNPROMPTED

Whoever is adding these community notes to the BC Gov's strangely misleading posts about permanent daylight saving time, please keep doing what you do

Proposed Community Note saying BCs 93% survey result came from a choice that excluded permanent standard time instead of BC Gov claim that 93% supported permanent DST

Proposed Community Note says scientific evidence, including from Canada, opposes permanent daylight time and supports standard time. BC Gov says their policy is backed by scientific research
