Likely the latter.

It is implied that the person you could have become is if you always had made the right decisions in life.

pantheonguy ONLINE (08/17/2015) [-] You know, this really used to bum me out, until I realized-- there is no 'person who I could have became'.
The choices I've made define who I am. If you're telling me this person I could have became made better decisions and ended up in a better spot, that's good for him, but that's not me. That's another person. My life was mine and mine alone, forged by my choices, and that's what makes my life perfect for me.

Love it man, love what you're saying. Add this to what you say, to make sure you live a happy and full life:
The greatest weight.-- What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!"
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?

If I were to go back in time I would make the same decisions I did the first time. The only way that I would make a different decision is if I had the knowledge I gained from making those decisions. So there is basically no way for me to have become a different person. (So I guess that is fate)

I always viewed it as a positive experience getting to meet the "better" you. Im not sure if he would be a more fulfilled person, a more generous person, a richer person, or all of those combined if possible.
By upon meeting you could compare your life to theirs almost like viewing the answers after you've taken a test, which I always enjoyed. Sure you find out what you did "wrong" but also how many times you made the right choices.
I do think you are right in saying that they wouldn't be the same person though, more for multiverse reasons though.

laslasov (08/17/2015) [-] I met this man, he's a street performer named Matthew Silver. His act is called looping. He performed at a music festival I went to and he just acts absolutely insane. He wore a womans bathing suit the entire weekend, went around with a sign saying "FART YOUR HEART" while making farting noises, and during his performance he got completely naked.

pokemonstheshiz (08/17/2015) [-] Don't listen to anon, the whole thing wasn't because he was in love with Unity or anything
She was the same as alcohol to him, just a way to ignore his pain and feel some semblance of happiness. After she basically asked him to leave, I think he realized that the few things he still enjoys (getting ********* , drugs, sex, etc) has a negative effect on the people he does them with.
The animators said on twitter that that creature he pulled out was supposed to be in immense pain, he had it frozen so maybe he could find a way to help it eventually. He was putting it out of its misery before he tried to put himself out of his. I think it's supposed to be symbolic of how he just distracts himself or numbs himself from the pain, breaking up with Unity reminded him that numbing is only for a little while, and he feels hopeless that he'll be able to "cure" himself.
That's the general gist I've gotten

pokemonstheshiz (08/17/2015) [-] also, I'm pretty sure the creature was a cronenburg (from the episode where they ****** up everything and had to bail on their universe), so basically he was trying to find a way to undo all the damage he'd done, killing it was him giving up on that hope

anon (08/17/2015) [-]
Also holy **** that's deep.
I always wondered if he was trying to fix what he broke. (Not too mention what Summer, hard ass Jerry and Beth are doing in that world)
I'm still not clear on Rick's depression though. Is it more of him reflecting on how horrible a person he is, or just an underlying sadness he feels he has to numb 24/7?
Either way I feel like he has some knowledge/events of happiness to fight it.
He's had his mind replayed before him and was in tears of joy, he had weeks/months of real lquality time with his grandkids, and I think he should feel some sense of righteousness for blowing up those scammer aliens. They hardly seemed conductive to interplanetary coordination.

pokemonstheshiz (08/17/2015) [-] I'm imagining he was in a dimension before the one he cronenburged, and did something that got his original family killed or something. Notice Beth said he'd been gone for 20 years and then showed up out of the blue. Morty is only 13, meaning there's no way he'd have all those memories of him as a kid. My guess is he ****** up his original universe beyond his ability to repair it, and dimension hopped into a new universe where the Rick there died or something. And then proceeded to accidentally destroy everyone else's lives (as far as he knows everyone got cronenburged, he didn't see Jerry, Beth, and Summer so he probably assumes they're dead).
Imagine you basically got your daughter killed twice due to your arrogance/carelessness. I'd want to off myself too

-
pokemonstheshiz (08/17/2015) [-] well it was pretty likely they would get killed by the cronenburgs, even if he didn't think so little of Jerry, there's no way he would expect him to be able to protect his family

gtehrusia (08/19/2015) [-]
Bless you, you beautiful user. You actually get it. However, I think there's more to read between the lines with rick, as in I'm 100% certain this isn't the first (nor the last) time he's attempted or succeeded at suicide. remember, infinite timelines. this is just the first time we've seen it ourselves. Rick is perpetually drunk / high off his ass to numb his pain, his depression. he's always finding ways to stave off boredom. From what? We can't possibly comprehend all the ******* **** Rick has been through, learned, experienced, seen or done himself. As distanced from humanity as he is, he's still human. Statistics have proven that tons of geniuses and high-intelligence individuals are depressed and or suicidal. Can you imagine being the smartest person in the universe locked in a room full of goddamn idiots?
Failed suicide is trivial to someone of that calibur; it's a phase. Get up the next morning, brush yourself off, go see if there's any beer left in the fridge.
Wubba Lubba Dub Dub.

The 3rd season is the most famous and most liked season, and the 4th season is better than the 1st and 2nd imo.

oceanfrank (08/17/2015) [-] Yo I'm gonna sound a little weird for saying this because FJ likes to take fandom made ******** and put them as fact but give Steven Universe a watch. I'll give you 4 episodes to watch that should pretty much make you go, "Holy **** this show is good I should watch some more." These don't need much info on the show to enjoy and they're all ******* amazing.

I second that. I had dismissed back in 2013 by mistake as a boring too-simple show but it is really exceptionally good. I can recall each of those episodes and they are very good, An Indirect Kiss and Rose's Scabbard being, IMO, the best of the four.
What I recommend to people is actually episode number two. You need to login to view this link kisscartoon . me/Cartoon/Steven-Universe/Episode-001-002 The way the father was written is far better than I've seen in any other show. It made me give it another chance and I'm glad I have. The musical sound effects, the beautiful backgrounds and stylizations, the character development, and ability to be discussed in depth are some of the reasons why I like it. I'm very stingy about the quality of what few shows I watch and I vouch for this series whole heatedly.

I started Rick and Morty yesterday, now I finished season 1 already. The internet really hasn't lied about this show, it's fantastic! And big props to Justin Roiland, I love how he does Rick. Perfect with the stuttering and adding "..., Morty" to every second sentence

rainbowrush ONLINE (08/17/2015) [-] I do love me some Rick and Morty. s2e3 was pretty underwhelming after waiting so long, though s2e4 picked it up again.
Warning: In s2e4 the family is invaded by memory parasites (they create memories of themselves in your mind to blend in) so Rick quarantines them. They spend most of the episode trying to figure out who's real and who's a parasite. They figure out the the memory worms can only create good memories, so from that point on, it's easy to kill them all. I really like the ending where they have a moment of realization after killing everyone they had such fond memories with, and are stuck with the original 6. Any thoughts on the episode?

emperorwatergate (08/17/2015) [-] One of them is Rick, who constantly travels to various dimensions.
The other is Stanford, who invented a Perpetual Motion Machine in High School.
His twin brother, Stanley, accidentally broke it.
Stanford didn't get into the College he wanted.
Stanley was disowned by his family, and kicked out. He could only return if he was a Millionaire, creating his obsession with getting rich.
Years later, Stanford moves to the town of Gravity Falls to study the anomalies there, writing down his findings in 3 Journals.
He found that the anomalies came from an Alternate Dimension. With the help of his assistant, Fiddleford McGucket, he invented a Portal to the Alternate Dimension. McGucket was accidentally sucked into the Portal, and came into contact with what is heavily implied to be a Demon named Bill Cipher. McGucket was driven insane, and quit the project. He later invented a memory-erasing device, which only drove him even more insane.
Stanford hid 2 of his Journals. He asked Stanley, who he still hated for the High School incident, to hide the third Journal.
Stanford was accidentally sucked into the Portal, which then shut down.
Stanley spent 30 years trying to find the other Journals, which had the instructions to the Portal.
He eventually opened the Portal, and rescued Stanford. Who still hates him.
