My initial reaction was “Finally!” but, honestly, I don’t think this has affected me in years. Maybe 15 years ago, before all my devices tracking time were smart and self-updating, I could miss an appointment or something. Ever since, I just go to sleep and wake up when an alarm goes off and I don’t even notice the time change.
Would it trouble you to do this though? Any reason to object? Like so many things, if it isn’t a detriment to you and it could help others, why not get behind it?
There’s evidence for death and lost productivity associated with each of these biannual shifts. There’s not a whole lot to support the pro daylight savings side of the argument.
Also, your future self would likely support this. It is unlikely your ability to not notice the time change will persist as you become older.
Maybe not as consciously as you’re thinking, but your body notices. Car accidents and heart attacks actually increase in the week following Spring Forward.

I think my post was pretty clear that my initial reaction was positive, then just a realization it doesn’t matter much to me, so it’s totally fine.
Mostly though, I’m just responding because the combo of your username and your reply made me laugh.
