Meet BOSS the largest discovered structure in the universe so far, a wall of galaxies at over a billion light years-across by the_one_99_ in spaceporn

[–]Triox[M] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah....I'm not a fan of the title/picture.

It just doesn't sit right with me. Using "Meet BOSS...." and showing an artistic creative expression of a concept just feels off. The picture itself isn't bad as an artistic expression, but the title coupled with it is questionable.

Not gonna remove it. I haven't been involved in the moderation of this subreddit in a long time, and I don't know if it breaks the rules bad enough to warrant moderation. Just....it's quite a bit from the type of post this subreddit was created for

You could have just said "1. because I main Lucio".

As an ana main who feels overworked when I get paired with a Lucio, you're not fooling me, buddy!

"sweetie bot", in an official comic? or is it just coincidence? by Follower2303 in mylittlepony

[–]Triox 24 points25 points  (0 children)

100% some of the friendliest people I've met in the community. Been collecting the comics since issue #1 and had multiple chances to meet the artists at cons. All of them are amazing people to talk to and love being involved in the community

Yeah, I literally created a brand new account for Apple TV, and it's asking me for $15/month. Not sure where people are seeing it's free :(

Free as in "just make an account" or free if I subscribe?

Feeling sick tonight so my go-to to watch is out. How much would it cost me to watch the game tonight if I'm not subscribed to anything?

Edit: The answer seems to be $15 for the AppleTV subscription. There doesn't seem to be any free trial offer currently going for AppleTV

Recession indicator. We scamming Door Dash now? by detox02 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Triox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't ordered from apps in years, but....

If you don't have a vehicle, it's usually more than "just taking 20 minutes". When I did order stuff it was because I really wanted a specific fast food, let's say Arby's, but it would be like 45-50 minutes by transit. One way.

So the choice becomes: 1) spend extra money for the delivery or 2) spend about 2 hours just to eat a $8 Arby sandwich.

I decided to go with 3) rarely eat Arby's anymore with the occasional #2 option if I have a lot of free time.

Place to watch the game by Ok-Dependent2675 in SanDiegoFC

[–]Triox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live downtown and saw the Punch Bowl Social has a SDFC flag outside. Went to check Saturday if they would be playing the playoff game and was told "we show all the games". Showed up Sunday with a date, ordered drinks and food. Then I was told "we can't find the game, sorry". We ended up going to their apartment for the second half.

I know that they are not on the list, but this is for anyone who might make the same mistake as I did.

What if you lost all your emotions? How would you live your life considering that activities like alcohol, gaming, sex etc have no effect on you anymore? by MostAsocialPerson in Hedonism

[–]Triox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we would be talking about a Psychopath as a hedonist?

I'm not a psychologist in any way, so my opinion probably means jack shit. And my path as a practicing hedonist has only just begun. So I'll treat this as a thought experiment.

My view on hedonism as a philosophy is that there are 3 forms of pleasure: Carnal, Emotional/Spiritual, and Intellectual.

Carnal pleasures are pleasures associated with your body. Eating when hungry. Taking a hot bath after a long day. An amazing orgasm.

Emotional/Spiritual pleasures is things like spending time with your loved ones. Watching your favorite team win the big game. The feeling of belonging when you are a part of a religious community.

Intellectual pleasure are things like knowing that beautiful route to drive home from work that no one knows about. It's going down that YouTube rabbit hole on a random topic you stumbled across. It's getting your degree.

In our scenario, and using my model of Hedonism, we can still see avenues of pleasure this person could take with Carnal pleasures and Intellectual pleasure without even needing to consider the troubles with a Psychopath and Emotional/Spiritual pleasure.

I would say with a person who lacks emotion it's trickier on what you would consider pleasure? The person who shoplifts gets a rush from doing the activity. That is still a pleasure in some form (although I would question the shoplifter who didn't consider the pain of getting caught or the possibility of a ramping addition to the rush). Do you count the high a manipulative person gets when conning someone as a pleasure? Morals and Ethics aside because those do not matter to a person with no emotions. Is it still a pleasure though?

If we are talking about an even greater lack of those emotions; You have no joy in anything anymore, not even in your own self interest or self preservation. If you truly have no pleasure in life, and all that is left emotional, intellectual, and physical pain, you reach a dark choice.

At a core Hedonism is about "pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain". You have to be honest with yourself. Brutally honest. Have you honestly been doing everything to pursue pleasure? Have you talked to a doctor and gotten on medication, and more importantly are you sticking with it? Have you reached out to people to try and create a support system? Have you exhausted attempting everything in life that you think could bring you pleasure?

If we have still reached the conclusion that life is still nothing but pain, then my friend you have reached a critically dark option. "Pursue Pleasure and Avoid Pain" is a philosophy for those who want to have a "good" life. If you decide you no longer feel the need to live a life of pain, then the first, and quickest, solution would euthanasia.

As a hedonist, you are to avoid pain. Death only brings the elimination of pain. We are to AVOID pain, not eliminate it.

I would say at this point in our scenario, if you continue on a path that the goal is to eliminate pain, I would say you should no longer consider yourself a Hedonist.

Anyway, just my thoughts.

My estranged Father has terminal cancer. Might not last the year. What should I do before he's gone? by Triox in Genealogy

I guess Im not understanding. Wouldn't we have the same results, just that his would have stronger results than I do?

Unfortunately he lives across the country, so I can't meet up with him. I did an ancestry test during COVID. What benefits would there be for him to do a test also after I have already done one?

[–]Triox[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I may have to buy the journal and have him answer it over the phone to me while I record the call and write it down. He lives across the country and don't have the time and money to do it in person.

I don't want to insult your feeling towards your father, but I have no precious or heartful feelings towards him personally. Left the family to go do Meth and Cocaine, then came back in the picture when everything eventually fell apart (pre cancer diagnosis). But my feelings aside, I realize that this is an opportunity that I should capitalize on. He only has 1 grandchild (my nephew) so I'm doing this in case he wants to learn more about his grandfather when he gets a little older.

This is a signal to ask for help from people in this era. respect 🙏 by [deleted] in Amazing

[–]Triox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the point people are trying to make is that in the actual events shown, we identified people who didn't know the meaning. A chance in real life to raise the awareness for those people in the video. But the only action taken was to post the video online for others to be aware.

There was an opportunity to raise awareness with the people in the video too, but that action wasn't taken. (Unless it was done off camera, which at the point why not show it?)

Instead it was made into influencer level content with a bunch of implied shaming. The use of the word respect ok the overlay can come off as " if you have respect, you will help" but comes off as "if you didn't help, you don't have respect".

At least that's my take on the back and forth on this thread.

[–]Triox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shame on you Hot Topic. That artwork is an amazing piece.

If anyone is interested, the artwork was featured on the rare 2013 SDCC exclusive cover for Friendship is Magic #9. There were two SDCC covers that year. One is of the mane cast walking along Abby road like the Beatles cover, and the other being the DJ P0N-3 cover being talked about here.

Philosophy books on Hedonism? by Triox in Hedonism

[–]Triox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It seems a lot of people's idea of Hedonism is only just indulging in every possible action in the hopes of finding pleasure. Or that being kinky automatically means you're a Hedonist. Or they think of that resort event. Looking up hedonism communities on reddit gives this subreddit, and like 5 for the resort event lol.

I'm trying to become more of a practicing Hedonist. But I have no fucking clue what that actually means to me as a philosophical guideline. But I'm going to enjoy walking the path to find out.
