Then five minutes later Toad shows up with his special brand of chaos and massively fucks up the lives of these three yet again.

"Grindset" is based in old puritan morality dictating that you must suffer in order to deserve anything, including to live. It's still "Christian" values fucking us over.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would argue it's not really even a solid overlap with Christianity. Puritan ideals are a small subset of the overall Christian world, and might not even be the most relevant religiously centered ideals affecting our society today (prosperity gospel folks might be more politically relevant in America these days, and they are basically saying the opposite, that their religion offers promises of riches now in this life, and Catholics don't seem as likely as Protestants to see toil as virtue).

Perhaps more importantly, there is a strong overlap with some cultural forces in distinctly non-Christian societies, like in India and China and Singapore and stuff, where people actively preach a philosophy where people must suffer in order to develop their characters and earn happiness/prosperity. I have had colleagues from Singapore (both Chinese and Indian heritage) who talked about this kind of stuff a lot, and it's consistent with some of the LinkedIn nonsense that I see and make fun of on a regular basis. I think the concept and the origins of these ideas are pretty far removed from Christianity.

Pressure turns coal into diamond - My Indian father taught me

I don't believe it applies to humans now tho. I believe it comes from poor people trying to justify their hardships.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It comes from rich people starting on third base telling others they aren’t working hard enough.

"Pressure creates diamonds, yes, but it also creates rubble."

I like your analysis. It feels more optimistic than the idea of an upper class foisting it on us to have us work harder and question less. Though I suppose they're not necessarily mutually exclusive things.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's really not, it's about greed and capitalism. People aren't grinding just for the sake of grinding.

This is the inspirado I needed to make a random ass Star Trek: The Animated Series screenshot work. It's been lingering in the back of my mind for months, but now it has a purpose. Many thanks.

Hahaha that is great, and what an odd scene - I've never seen the animated series, didn't know it go so whacky.

“The chill” or “the chillset”

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

The problem is that picnic spread is probably over $100 alone, not counting the basket.

We still need to fucking work, we just need the people we work for to pay us anywhere remotely on the scale of survivability.

It could be, but I think it's probably the Wind In The Willows. Ratty, Mole, and Otter.
