I'm flubbing and stumbling over simple math a lot again lately. I'm looking at a math problem, and I'm mentally mixing and matching all the numbers together in every single way except the correct one. I'm thought it would be fun to try Human Resource Machine, a game about beginner's level coding which is perfect for me, but I'm playing through the beginning of the game again, and I'm just struggling hard just to concentrate and mentally picture the problem in my head. God is my brain just going to mush?

Ah, welcome to jumblemathbrain. Honestly, your brain probably just needs a break from said math. At least an hour.

I sorta feel like The Diary by Hollywood Undead. Basically me atm.

I heard Project Wonderful is shutting down. That's a bit of a shame, they were probably the only website ads I was entirely OK with.

[Rolan7]

Yeah, that's a real shame.  I saw them on webcomics a lot, and I always liked the idea that a regular person like me could buy ad space (for a very reasonable price, on obscure but good comics).
There's an explanation here, pretty sad:  https://www.projectwonderful.com/thanks.php

That is rather sad, even if I rarely read webcomics.



Couple of my own mild sads: apparently my country still has ridiculous amounts of videogame censorship (although in the recent case I learned of earlier the ban was eventually repealed, at least) and I have a tonne of stuff I need to get done over the next two days and am not really sure where to start.

Protestant Work Ethic: Worst thing to ever happen to non religious non ethnic people ever. 60 work weeks are fucking stupid and actively detrimental to life.

[scriver]

I mean the protestant work ethic is like 90% responsible for why the Nordic socialist model functioned and why Sweden could go from the poorest country in Europe to the most equal country in the world in less than 100 years, so I tend to be biased towards it.

[Hanslanda]

I gotta ask what the suicide rate did in that time though. I'm not saying it's all bad mind you. I was being hyperbolic in my previous post.

It's not like those concepts have zero philosophical merit; the problem is how engrained they're in any narrative and how that determines tought processes without people noticing or knowing why.

And 90%?! gtfo it couldn't be that 6 months of winter cause you to think more about the future.

Well obviously the 90% was a rhetorical percentage that just means "a whole lot of". I don't think the winters have as much to do with it at all, though. Long winters just mean you have to eat more fish.

You could also turn the argument around and use the Protestant work ethic as the reason Americas are so against a welfare state.

You could, if you wanted to ignore the whole communist scare thing.
