people talk a lot abt the ways a porn addiction can make people used to all kinds of sex acts, causing them to seek out increasingly extreme porn so they can keep getting off. an extremity treadmill. I have this problem too except it's difficulty in videogames

please send help, I have nearly beaten Returnal and am at A18 in Slay the Spire. I don't know where I'll get my fix two months from now. I never meant for things to go this far. my future is dark and I have no hope. how do I come back from this? tell my mom I love her 😢

are you ready for the ultimate puzzle game? neverending font of increasingly difficult puzzles you could spend the rest of your life on? it’s called math 😎

More seriously though: MathPill me, sensei.
I loved physics and despised raw calculus.
I could do the quadratic in my head at 12yo, but when I looked at my calc exam worksheet the symbols just swim together and the patterns no longer coalesce.
What shall I do to regain entry?

number theory and combinatorics i think are both lovely and not calculus-flavored at all (in the beginning). nice discrete objects you can really sink your mind into

i can't think of a really delightful intro to number theory off the top of my head but for combinatorics maybe "proofs that really count":
Fingers crossed it grabs me. Thanks again, QC.
*note* For anyone else looking for this, it is cheaper (albeit likely softback binding) on the American Mathematical Society's shop site.
