I chose not to have children. Apparently, to some people, this is considered self-indulgent. Those people can fuck right off.
i’m going to buy a 5090
Well I just ate a buttload of cookies
Literally
anything you eat becomes a buttload eventually
Speak for yourself defecator
Does food that vomited count or not count as being eaten?
Oof, this is rough to admit even anonymously as someone who cares about the environment:
I really like the feeling of being both hot and cold at the same time, so when the temps finally drop in my area, I like to crack the window open beside my computer and then sit with a space heater. Sometimes when I drive to work in the winter, I also like to crack my windows and have the heat blasting.
Its so good. I’ll do ya one better: AC blasting full volume while under 4 layers of blankets at bedtime + 1…3 cats
Fuck that sounds cozy!
Plus multiple cats
I’m a winter window down driver too. Drives my passengers nuts even though I have the heat cranked lol
My people!!!
6 hour baths.
Phone in zip-lock bag.
Bottle of red water.
Add more hot water when it cools.
Once or twice a year self-care.
My mornings are indulgent because my days are busy.
No alarm to wake, husband wakes me gently.
Sex every day.
Coffee for work, often from the Cuban place up the street, and slow commute in by e-bike.
I also buy fancy cheese because I love that stuff, and have a large collection of liquors, liqueurs, and some wines, I don’t drink every day and honestly don’t drink enough to bother with anything I don’t love. Less and better is the way.
Every way possible. If I’m working, then I’m spending, and I’m buying that nice thing. I save 1.5 weeks worth of everything every week so I’m way ahead of rent, utilities, subscriptions, and groceries. I can take days off in peace. If I want fancy Japanese food then I’m getting it. I spent a third of my life expectancy locked away living a mediocre life so sad the best thing about it aside from video games was eating a pop tart when I was 5. I’m living the rest of my life the best way possible.
Honeycrisp. Apples.
Good food can be so indulgent and still healthy. When my kids were little I’d get a small container of raspberries at the grocery and eat them in the car to be selfish with them. Just didn’t have much for myself at that point in my life. Those honeycrisp apples are so delicious.
Raspberries are sooooo tasty!!
I was going to say “books” as I have my own library, a little free library for donations, and a comic book room.
But it’s really any physical media. Books, DVD, Blu Ray, UHD, Video Games.
Really the only gap is music, I’ve never been much of a music guy, but for what I LIKE, I go whole hog and get the discography. Beatles, Pink Floyd, Chris Smither, Kelly Hogan, Cake.
Definitely soda, specifically Dr Pepper. My New Year’s resolution is to stop going out of my way to buy it. I will likely still have it if it’s included in a food combo or given away free.
Weed.
It’s becoming a problem for me, actually.
How? Are you getting addicted and facing withdrawal if discontinued? What problems do you think it is causing?
I mostly use edibles, since I prefer those over smoking. Use 'em enough and your tolerance can get sky high. Combine that with poor self-regulation (common in us folks with ADHD, IIRC), and a traumatized past you want to hide from, and overuse became considerably easier for me.
Regular usage at high doses can result in withdrawal effects, since at that point your brain is used to the heightened dopamine levels. Without the constant party of THC in my system I get unbelievably angry and irritable, mostly towards myself, and threats of suicide become more frequent. Makes me wanna pop another brownie to make the self-hatred stop, cause these withdrawal effects can last a while for me.
I’m doing better with it lately, but I’m having to do frequent vibe checks on myself, and I’m working on an extended break right now. I dunno how universal an experience mine is, but boy howdy, I gotta be more careful.
Cannabis can actually lower your IQ, kick off schizophrenia and depersonalization disorder, and put you in the ER with hyperemesis. Heavy use isn’t great.
I drink three different types of liquids and they’re all just a step above average: nice wine, good coffee, and fizzy water.
Books. Physical ones.
Bonus points for ancient books with some long dead person’s annotations. Those are my favorite
Food. I have such a hard time not indulging in it.
