Greenwich is now an hour ahead of the timezone named after it.

90's kids probably have the worst possible memory of the 90's. They were kids.

In math, you solve problems to get solutions, only to turn around and make more problems from said solutions to make yet more solutions to make problems to solve to get even more solutions to get more problems to...

Math is an endless cycle of problem-making and problem-solving.
Expecting every problem to be solvable, and every solution to be 'constructive', for lack of a better word, is an exercise in futility.
A 'losing is fun' mentality is probably required for math to be enjoyable for any period of time.

Schools, however, teach the opposite: 'losing is always bad'.
Math is one of the finickiest subjects out there, being a game of trial-and-error at best, and an exercise in frustration at worst.
Given these conditions, it's no wonder that most people grow up hating math.

I love math.
That, or I've spent so much time on it, that I'm experiencing sunk-cost fallacy and delusions of grandeur.
Either one is fine.

Problem-making followed by solution-banishing.

YouTube channels that do nothing but read Reddit posts are just crowd-sourced clickbait.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

If you blow in a dog's face, he goes mad. But if you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out of the window.

Don't trust this toaster that much, it could be a villain in disguise.
Mostly phone-posting, sorry for any typos or autocorrect hijinks.

Are you sure that post belongs in the Random thoughts thread? There's, like, an actual story there.

My problem with chess is that it's basically a solved game. Even at the most casual level of play, the match is usually decided by rote memorization of strategies rather than anything happening in the game.

Then I realized that I have this exact problem with MMOs, MOBAs, fighting games, strategy games, Diablo clones, and any other game I'm garbage at. It's my way of saying "shut up, my controller's broken, my dad works at Nintendo."

You are being far too mature by acknowledging this, more than I have been in any moment of my life.
