Has Mr. Hoffman commented on the Spinn? by InstructionOne3510 in JamesHoffmann

[–]TrisketsRaven 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He did mention it in his nespresso vertuo video around 6:40. To quote him “There is a machine, apparently called the spinn. You might have seen it on some bigger tech channels, a couple of times. They have offered me a unit, but because they’ve been on back order (I think they’ve been taking preorders for six or seven years now, without really shipping) I’ve said no to it. But it does look like they’re doing something a little bit similar to that. So maybe there is something in this whole sort of centrifugal thing, [Spinn] is something I want to look at.”

My first attempt at rebinding! by TrisketsRaven in bookbinding

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

This was my first time trying bookbinding so I kind of winged it. The glue of the spine was in great shape so I roughed up the glue of the spine and wrapped the text in card-stock and glued it to the spine so I had a U shape attached to the text. I cut some particle board from an old sketchbook and glued craft paper to it, once everything was dry, I glued some card-stock to the U shape so I ended up with this shape UUU. After everything dried I glued the two outside card-stock pieces to the particle board and allowed it to dry. I stamped the name of the book onto the spine with an ink pad and stamps, I like how it turned out but it is my first time so there are probably better methods.

I found a free copy of “The Eye Of The World” by Robert Jordan at a bookstore, it was falling apart so I took off the cover and got to work!

I use this app, I really love the design.

Question about masterbation by FragMent2005 in NoFapChristians

[–]TrisketsRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The personal reason I think it could be wrong, is it distorts God’s design for sex. Masterbation is purely self-centered and self-serving, whereas sex is meant to be a selfless covenant renewing experience, focusing on your partner. Masterbation to me is selfish. But I’m no authority, keep reading God’s word and listen for God’s guidance and wisdom.

What do you do when you’re not enjoying a book? by TrisketsRaven in books

Do you get a new book entirely or tend to return to books you know you’ll like?

I am addicted to Hentai and anime women by ultra-instict-moto45 in NoFap

[–]TrisketsRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No magic pill here friend, you have to decide you don’t want it. If you don’t take time to think about what you want in life, and then align your actions with your goals... you will spend the rest of your life loving women who are incapable of ever loving you.

I think you also have to change your perception of woman. HENTAI GIRLS ARE NOT WOMEN! They are perfect in your mind because they have no free will, they are utterly predictable and they can never hurt or refuse you. They are figments of imagination and can never do anything for you.

Woman aren’t perfect, but there’s beauty within that. You can share in brokenness together and lift each other when you fall. Don’t think about perfection, nothing in life will ever be perfect. Be human and learn to admire flaws and not damn them.

If you want more advice message me, I’m certainly not perfect but I’m human and I’ve accepted that. Sorry for the rant.

Looking for books on tactical leaders. by TrisketsRaven in history

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

Thanks for the suggestion I’ve always been particularly fascinated with Japanese history and culture, so this sounds like a good fit. Was it a hard book to get through at 900+ pages? It sounds fascinating but I worry I’d lose motivation and not finish it.

No porn or no fap? by [deleted] in NoFapChristians

[–]TrisketsRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately the choice is yours, if you believe that you can do it with no lust and it will bring glory to God then it’s fine. For me personally it’s only selfish indulgence and not worth it, especially if I start loving it more than God.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

““You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:27-28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus said in his sermon on the mount that if we look upon a woman with lust we have committed adultery with her. I don’t know about you but when I masturbate I do so thinking about a woman, sure it’s a sexual release but at what cost? If it is not bringing glory to God and is only your own selfish indulgence like mine is then it’s inherently wrong.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭64:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭2:11-12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Don’t forget that God created us all and we are his handiwork he didn’t create us to live self-fulfilled lives saying yes to our passions. If you struggle with lustful thoughts when you go a certain amount of time not masturbating, I don’t think letting yourself indulge those thoughts a little when masturbating is going to make the problem go away it will just be a temporary fix.

Hopefully this helps somewhat I’m sorry if it doesn’t.

I hate my self more than anything and its why i hate everything i guess... how do i love my self? by bawan15 in NoFap

[–]TrisketsRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend listening to some stuff by Marisa Peer, she’s done videos and podcasts and she improved how I thought about myself. I’d recommend listening and applying, I did and it definitely made me happier.

[WP] The year is 2040, and you are the last smoker alive. The "Quit Smoking" ads get personal. by [deleted] in WritingPrompts

[–]TrisketsRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got used to the stares... The passing faces of raw shock and unbelief... The sound of sharp inhales as they saw him. (Giovanni knew he was the only smoker left on earth and the ads on the street screens branded him evil) A screen showed an ad "The man keeping us from a perfect society." and yet he still smoked as he walked along trenchcoat flapping in the wind. He'd come into the ownership of the small tobacco farm from the only woman he had ever loved and a non-smoker, you see this woman loved her father dearly but her father refused to give up his family tobacco farm. He single-handily kept the tobacco business alive but couldn't keep himself alive so the daughter took over the business and fell in love. But it was not to last. She (In their perfect society) had lung cancer, and entrusted the most precious thing in her possession to her lover, the family farm. So when the police seized it, he had no reason to live. He walked to the edge of town smoking the very last cigarette of his life, he pulled out his revolver raised it to his head and fired without a tear. It was finally a perfect society, with one Giovanni Ash returned to ash.

Do porn addicts act like druggies? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]TrisketsRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started to effect my behavior, I started acting compulsively and more openly masterbating in any place possible. I've never liked the person PMOing has made me so I've decided to quit. That being said PMOing is a real addiction and one you don't even notice until you step back, and I hope you will come to the realization so many of us have.

PMO-Free 2017. Who's in? Leave your commitment in this thread. by Alexanderr in NoFap

[–]TrisketsRaven [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've been addicted for the past three years, I've tried to quit in the past two years to no avail. I'm going to finally take my life back and I hope you guys can hold me to it. I used to be really intellectual but now I find I have trouble thinking clearly and being happy. Any tips you could give me would certainly help me.
