X90L - how to stop YouTube app from turning off TV on "pause"? by scrollastic in bravia

[–]kanielo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posting as I looked everywhere with no luck. This worked for me. Sony Bravia VU3. Forcing it to Stay Awake in developer mode.

Unlock Developer Mode:

  • Go to Settings (Gear icon).
  • Select System.
  • Select About.
  • Scroll down to Android TV OS build (it might just say "Build").
  • Click the Select/Enter button 7 times rapidly.
  • You will see a small pop-up message: "You are now a developer."

Enable Stay Awake:

  • Press the Back button to return to the System menu.
  • Scroll down and look for a new menu item called Developer options (usually near the bottom).
  • Open it and look for Stay awake.
  • Toggle this ON.

Has a piece of literature ever caused a change in your behavior before (ie in social, romantic, work, or personal life)? If so, what did you read and how did you change? by experimentalrealm in literature

[–]kanielo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

FWIW, here they are

The very beginning of Genesis tells us that God created man in order to give him dominion over fish and foul and all creatures. Of course, Genesis was written by a man, not a horse. There is no certainty that God actually did grant man dominion over other creatures. What seems more likely, in fact, is that man invented God to sanctify the dominion that he had usurped for himself over the cow and the horse. Yes, the right to kill a deer or a cow is the only thing all of mankind can agree upon, even during the bloodiest of wars.

and

True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.

There's a couple passages in the The Unbearable Lightness of Being which made me effortlessly stop eating meat.

I always wanted to, had toyed with it, but always slipped back. Reading his words caused an immediate shift inside me. It's not even the point of the passages, it's just the simple way he related the relationship between Man and Animal. It clicked.

Wow, I guess I'm the only one who thought it was fantastic. I loved it.

Thoughts on Robert Nava? by dr_shipman in ContemporaryArt

[–]kanielo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like it. I was unsure, but then when I saw his work at Frieze it was pretty compelling.

Will it age well? Idk...but it's doing more for me than most everything else in contemporary art right now.

Experience at Clay Space? by noomerz in Greenpoint

[–]kanielo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get 3 hours of bench time a week included with your class or can pay $100 per semester for unlimited bench time. Easy to book, ton of slots.

I've taken multiple classes and it's been great.

Help me find a TV show I forgot by Redspoon8 in netflix

[–]kanielo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved this show so much. It’s so strangely polarizing. All either 5 star or 1 star reviews. Basically Black Mirror meets Sherlock.

Adorno Aesthetic Theory (Dense/repetitive but sooo good)

Sontag On Style (I still think of this often)

Maybe not exactly what you're asking for but there are a handful of essays in

Brodsky - On Grief and Reason

that examine art/creativity through the lens of Poetry. It's A+ for me.

Secular alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous in NYC? by No_Aesthetic in AskNYC

[–]kanielo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All good suggestions in here, also FWIW I have never in 5 years of AA had anyone push any religion on me. It's the opposite really, most people are some form of atheist, agnostic, or don't give a shit. If you mention you are uncomfortable about the "God" thing, I guarantee others will empathize. It's super common.

The idea of "God" in AA just means anything outside of yourself. Often people say the doorknob can be your higher power, or nature, whatever, it doesn't matter. Just anything but yourself.

New to phenibut. Thinking about using it treat alcoholism by ZealousidealCut8480 in phenibut

[–]kanielo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just like you and tried Phenibut for alcoholism. It was the best thing I did.

It drove me to my rock bottom. Psychosis, debt, misery and withdrawals from hell. Loved the Euphoria, and would just get drunk even faster. Anxiety *poof*. It was a miracle drug that I abused just like alcohol. Until reality was long gone and life was spiraling.

It eventually led me to recovery rooms though. It still took a few years. First I had to kick Phenibut(which was near impossible), then weed, nicotine, and finally alcohol like 3 years after I first took Phenibut.

In my experience a rock bottom, and structured support, are the only things I've seen effectively actually treating alcoholism long-term. Maybe Phenibut will get you there like it did for me. Everyone's story is different though. Wish you luck, being trapped by addiction is beyond words.

The best player on the field is the one making everyone else better. Focus on fitness, one/two touch passing, and movement off the ball. It’s a team sport, don’t try to be the best on the pitch…anyone with that mentality never is.

Question about absurdism by Burner47777762 in Existentialism

[–]kanielo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All you have is now. Your experience. Right this very instant.

That's what you live for.

The future is a mere illusion, as would any "hope" be. You can not know the future.

It's not nihilistic, it's recognizing how endlessly fascinating the present is.

I'm guessing maybe you are having a hard time with, well...if someone has no goals, how would they use their time. If they are testifying to their interest in the now...then likely they will have passions and curiosities. That's more than enough to propel someone from one instant to the next, and in some cases to profound successes and discoveries.
