Oh, something super weird I learned while doing this. So, every time zone has a couple different ways of writing it. One pretty standard way is doing something like "US/Eastern" or "Canada/Atlantic". This format is nice because it automatically shifts between daylight saving depending on the date in the datetime. So "US/Eastern" will map to GMT-4 in the summer months, and it will map to GMT-5 in the winter months. And for time zones that don't have a country associated with them, they use "Etc/GMT-X". These timezones map to GMT+X. YES THEY SWITCH THE +/-. So the timezone that maps to GMT-12, it is Etc/GMT+12. And the timezone that maps to GMT+12 is Etc/GMT-12.

WTF WERE THEY THINKING???

Anyway, rant over.
