If you experienced relativistic time dilation on the scale of a few days (let's say a week), would you celebrate your birthday a week later from then on to compensate? Keen to hear your justifications for both yes or no.

@Samflir My perception of time fluctuates drastically, but I'd always at least like to think that events will happen on the calendar days I expect them to. So I'm not gonna make anything more complicated for myself

@Samflir It would be easier on other people to keep it on the same calendar day. And I feel like a birthday is really about how many times I've been around the sun. If one of my trips was only 355 days, that's fine.
